[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, it isn’t so much that they no longer have DEI, but that they were never serious in the first place and it was all for show. Corporations really need to not stupidly follow trends. Just follow the golden rule, and no need to adopt political trends.

Target is also really expensive, has 90% stuff I don’t need, stuff that can be bought cheaper elsewhere, and lacks basic practical items.
I have the red card that gives 5% off, but unlike my other credit cards, does not have a simple app to manage CC payments etc, therefore less convenient, so I try to avoid using it.[/quote]

It's all for show everywhere.  I don't even say that because I'm hostile to the idea, but they're not accomplishing anything.  I have no idea why someone would boycott a store for getting rid of something that was costing the company money and wasn't accomplishing anything.[/quote]

It’s the capitulation.  All they had to do was say “we’re no longer required to support diversity, equity, and inclusion, but these are our company values. We appreciate our diverse employees and customers.” And then quietly, without a big show, phase out what’s not profitable.  [/quote]

This. I don’t know what Target was thinking by making such a public announcement about their retreat. This will certainly be a business school case study one day. [/quote]

+1. No doubt some mediocre white boy MBA saw an opportunity. Would love to know how he’s doing right now. [/quote]

Probably the same MBA that thought women’s bikinis with a pouch for a penis was a great idea.[/quote]

Man you people are totally infatuated with that stuff.[/quote]

This is my favorite progressive talking point.  The transgressive LGBTQIA+ promotion party teaches gay sex ed to kindgergartners, hires drag queens to dance for kindergartners, promotes lewd Pride Parades, etc., decorates Target with clothes for transing children, and then accuses normal-people-who-notice of "being obsessed with genitalia."  I almost have to respect it as great gaslighting, and kind of funny.  But ultimately it's just off-putting.  It's another way progressives alienate the electorate and hurt the Democratic Party.
