    Default Target boycott sees company hemorrhaging customers and profits

    In less than two weeks, the backlash against Target for in-your-face gay pride nonsense in their stores has cost them $15 billion in sales, seen their stock value plummet, and they are now being downrated by JP Morgan for credit worthiness. So, to appease maybe 1 customer in 100, Target lost the other 99 to the boycott.

    Target loses $15 billion in 10 days as stocks fall following boycott over LGBTQ-friendly kids clothing

    Target’s stock loses $13.8B, sinks to lowest level since 2020 over boycotts

    Seems the miniscule but vocal alphabet of deviant sex has far less clout in the market than the average straight who doesn't want their shit all up in their face.

    Indeed.

    Bud Light learned a thing or two about marketing also.

    Deviancy does not sell to the 99% of decent, normal Americans.

    Some of the snowflakes at Target and Bud Light are looking for jobs.

    These threads are humorous, like Target and Bud are going to go out of business

    I was in Target the other day because my Crock Pot burned out.

    I think they are funny because of how indignant they get when liberals boycott anything.

    Been in a Target once, and I wouldn’t take a Bud Light if it was free, so I really don’t care if either goes belly up, but ain’t happening, and certainly not because the MAGA militia don’t like individuals they use as spokespeople

    When I was outside cooking for a big outing, we had several stainless steel kegs of cold beer up on stands.

    The nearest plumbing was a long walk away, and even though it was easy enough to wiz in the woods,
    we were cooking for a lot of people and had to wash our hands.

    That's when I was told what the Bud Light keg was for.

    We have hit a point where corporations have to choose one side or the other



    That means they will lose SOME customers no matter what they do



    They won’t choose the bigots side


    You are a shrinking minority
