Target loses $9B in week following boycott calls over LGBTQ-friendly kids clothing

Target has lost $9 billion in market value since angry social media users called for a boycott of the Minneapolis-based retailer over its rollout of the “PRIDE” collection featuring LGBTQ-friendly clothing for children.

A week ago Wednesday before the controversy erupted, Target’s stock closed at $160.96 a share, giving the big-box chain a market capitalization of $74.3 billion.

As of early trading on Thursday, however, shares of the company were trading off 1% at $141.76 — capping a weeklong tumble that has shrunk the “cheap chic” discount retailer’s value to $65.3 billion.

That amounts to a 12% drop that has shaved a whopping $9 billion off the company’s market capitalization.

That’s great. $9B is a good start. We stopped going to Target about ten years ago when they opened up the ladies’ room to fetishist men that get their jollies using the wrong bathroom and preying on women and little girls. Of course they then stated that they would prefer that Americans did not practice their 2A right in their stores WHILE they had opened the doors to the ladies’ room to fetishist perverts. Talk about protecting the predators! No dice, man. Since then I have zero respect for any Christian, conservative, 2A supporter, 1A supporter, MAGA and/or patriot that can’t put their money where their mouth is and continues to support an organization that openly promotes the predation of women and children. If this last move by Target wakes people up, that’s great. What took so long? Anyone that continues to support Target supports open, transgender babylonian satanism, and is a traitor, a degenerate and a disgrace. This goes also for Nike, Adidas, Coke, Bud Light, Tractor Supply and many, many others.

Don’t believe I’ve been in a Target since they took their position on restrooms.

At what point does the SEC step in for this company violating their fiduciary responsibility to their investors?

This issue right here booms resoundingly in agreement to the exclamation that ‘we’ are not doing anything. Financially breaking a Target, or Ford, or AB, or Nike until they cease to exist is no small feat. Real America holds this power for the moment, but most of “we” do not know it and/or lack the resolve, the discipline and the courage of ‘our’ convictions to effect such consequence. My wife WAS on the 200 program with Target before they made their stores perv-friendly years ago. The 200 program is that they get you for 200 bucks every time you walk through the front door, no matter what you went in there for. If I could get her to give up her habit on principle (we have not spent a dime at Target in years), it can be done widespread. There are not enough of ‘them’ to fund the Target’s, Nike’s and Tractor Supply’s of the world. That Target is still even a thing is a total disgrace to real Americans and an abrogation of our responsibilities to God, our children, our fellows and our country.

I admit I didn’t read the whole thing, but isn’t the NEW system based on the social credit score, and embracing all things deviant and globo homo is #1 priority.

I find it hard to believe company presidents are putting their jobs on the line with woke product. Could it be they’ve been given marching orders to do this? All the hoopla is a major distraction from what really maters.
It also gives the people the illusion of power, that we can make a difference if we just stop buying their products. The companies lose money but the temple money changers of today continue to invoke harm.
Have they’ve been told that they’ll get their golden parachutes after the SHTF?

When they alienate and offend normal human beings with perversion and degeneracy it improves their corporate social credit score which I believe is ESG, and thereby they get access to cheaper money through central banks. Most of these companies’ biggest investors are Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street and most of their boards are comprised of woke satanists and mush minded diversity hires so there is little consequence besides lost revenues and bad press. The “hue and cry” might be huge, but the internal pressures appear to be insignificant in many cases, until the external pressures overcome the internal voices like at that one, collapsing beer company.

Obedience to the woke/sexual perversion is directly correlated to the number of share of stock that are held by State Street, BlackRock and Vanguard. That is the influence that directs what these company presidents do, they are mere pawns standing on the rope bridge between these influential companies and the public. If you have a 401 plan or a pension plan or hold stock in any of these entities, you are mostly likely part of the problem and you are party to the perversion. (Not you personally Stan)

This Memorial Day remember those Americans who died in war. Remember the 1.2 million+ and their families.

Then think about Memorial DAY and Pride MONTH.
