    Get fucked Target!

    As they say, the axe forgets, but the tree remembers.

    Target has proven beyond doubt they are feckless and foolish at a deep cultural level as a company. Did they think the LGBTQ+ community was just another demographic they could appeal to for a moment and discard us when things got a tiny bit tricky? Apparently yes.

    But the work isn’t done. The brand needs to be utterly destroyed and discredited. Using human rights as a cute marketing gimmick that you can take or leave as fashions change needs to be utterly destroyed as an acceptable business practice in any setting.

    In just about a year we went from an economy that was the “envy of the world”…to this.

    I wonder what happened?

    ‘’‘The incoming CEO announced 1,800 job cuts after 11 difficult quarters, a boycott over its DEI policy, and various complaints from consumers enduring broader economic pain.’‘’

      I’m glad to see that the boycott was significant enough to actually be acknowledged by the CEO. I’m no fan of rainbow capitalism, but as long as we’re living in this shitty system, I think it’s useful that the boycott was able to send such a message to other executives and shareholders
