You do realize that if a business fails to make money, it becomes unavailable to provide employment for workers, and it stops paying taxes.

Or maybe you think businesses are actually social services, with profitability being irrelevant.

Yes, I want to support businesses that support my political values.

Further, I’d like to see businesses that do not support my political values destroyed.

And yes, I mean that sincerely with no trace of hyperbole.

Prefer other local channels where newscasters look and behave like actual real people.

So how has that worked out for you? Are they out of business yet?

It's worked out great because I found out I really like Wusa9.

I'm also saving a lot of money by not shopping at Target. Win win.

We just shopped at Target this afternoon. It's weird that some of you seem to think you destroyed them and made them go broke.

Your better course of action is to bombard your local congress-person with constituent emails. Show up to his/her events in protest. Make campaign contributions to primary opponents, etc... Political process is the path to success.

🙄
You’re not from here obviously so plz stop. Our representatives are already strong Ds.

That’s only because so many teslas have been vandalized or set on fire

While this probably decreased sales of cybertrucks, the fact that Elon's politics have alienated the demographic that buys EVs has more to do with it. If Tesla sold guns and bibles, their business would be booming right now.

This is the new Trump model.

Ruined? No, but people voted with their dollars. Stock is down and it’s the new Walmart. Maybe they will paint Target circles on truck Nutz for their new client base.

It’s doesn’t help that the cyber truck is a POS that is cooking people alive. Have you seen one of these things in person? I’ve seen child built soap box cars on the Little Rascals with better build quality. Tesla is 100% meme stock.

See above. You didn't even make a dent in their quarterly revenue. You grossly overestimate yourselves, you grosslt overestimate how many people agree with you, and grossly overestimate how much market clout you have.

And yet they fired the CEO and Fortune says…

“Target hasn’t gotten its mojo back after boycotts and backlash over retracted DEI efforts. Foot traffic and revenue are still down.”

“For the second quarter of 2025, Placer.ai reports that foot traffic at Target is down 3.1% YoY. That means that if the correlation between its foot traffic reporting and Target’s total revenues reporting in the previous five quarters is consistent, Target will report a total revenue decline compared to the second quarter of 2024 of between 1.8% and 4.4%.

Retail Brew asked Target to comment on Placer.ai’s estimate that its foot traffic is down 3.1% for Q2, and whether it will report YoY revenue declines close to that. Target did not respond.”
