What was it George Washington said to Americans in his Farewell Address?  Don't get involved in entangling alliances.  tri22

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The executives running these companies seem to far removed from their retail customers.

The executives have also forgotten the Star Trek 2, Spock Principle: The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

Maybe these companies need to establish separate brands and distribution channels for their unicorn and rainbow items.

AmBev could have better protected the Budweiser brand if they established a new brand for their Pride Month marketing campaign ...

Truth.

My wife goes to Target to buy three items, and comes home with a 2nd mortgage.

 :silly:  It's easy to get side tracked.

I normally buy all cleaning supplies, paper towels, garbage bags, etc., from Target. Also dog food and treats and a few grocery items.

So, I guess Wally World is where I'll have to go - nothing else really around.

In the last week it's dropped about $20 a share, from $160 to $140, so that reflects some pain.

Someone somewhere is playing the options market (the putz with the puts) with these companies and making a killing with an inside track on their ad campaigns.

It is the only explanation I can think of that makes a profit.

Material nonpublic information; if the person is an insider or affiliated with an insider, that would be illegal trading, almost certainly.

Psyops are conducted on employees just as much as grooming the customer base.


According to the letter, it appears Pride Month &  Mental Health Awareness Month are the same month?
They are going to lose 50% of their market cap in the next 6 months

 Target loses $9B in week following boycott calls over LGBTQ-friendly kids clothing
By Ariel Zilber   
May 25, 2023 10:00am

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.

Target said on Tuesday it was removing some items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month after intense backlash from some customers who confronted workers and tipped over displays.

“Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being while at work,” Target said in a statement on Tuesday.

Seems Executives are forgetting their fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders and bondholders.

Usually corporations, or their founders, setup separate Foundations to advocate or support causes.

That's why I like to call this type of wokeness "The Nonsense" - it's an unecessary, self-inflicted distraction and negative value proposition that destroys enterprise value or goodwill.
