Theft Targets are shutting down

Anonymous wrote:I don't know what to make of Target. If you do a 10 year view of the stock, you see that they trades sideways, hovering between $30 and $50 for the better part of a decade. Then, they had a massive spike up in 2020-2022, making it up to $260ish, before dropping like a hot knife in butter.

During the pride month target fiasco, I read things here on DCUM that both made the case that 1) the stock was dropping before the backlash (true) and then strangely, 2) buy up because the stock is on sale due to the backlash. It's continued its long slide, blaming the issues on the backlash and theft.

This is why I'm inclined to believe there is something more going on than theft, or backlash for that matter. They aren't offering any context to help understand the massive run-up of the stock, and are pointing to broad political issues that are both probably on the way to improving (ie, corporate activism is way down, voter interest in law and order is way up). I think they are blaming these issues, which are probably having an impact, but not to the extent that they are claiming, as a sort of diversion from the deeper corporate or economic issues.

The moms ran out of free money. The question is, if any, did Target open up new stores from 2020-2022?

Businesses 10 years ago didn't forgo class containers out of the goodness of their hearts. And it's pretty obvious why. People aren't being arrested or prosecuted for petty crime any more. And we're now reaping the rewards. Same with anti social driving behaviors.

You cannot just put a person in jail for taking the things they really need.

Ah yes, the people running out with a cart full of high value deodorant, laundry detergent, etc. are taking the things they really need.

In bulk. To sell at DC’s unregulated street markets. 🙃

Enforcement is not the answer. Instead, we need to defund the police.

You also can’t put people in jail when the manager or store rep doesn’t show up to court either. This happens in 90% of theft cases.

But that is Target corporate policy.

What police? Since when are store clerks allowed to call police on shoplifters for anything but a mass shooting?

The Target shutting down is Spotsylvania County Virginia. Not the border one.

Americans do their shopping online. Stores aren’t worth the cost.
