Target CEO Didn’t Know His Company Was About To Implode Over Transgender Bathrooms
The Daily Caller ^ | 04/07/2017 | Jim Treacher

I don’t particularly care which bathroom you use, as long as you wash your hands when you’re done. I also don’t particularly care if your company suffers a huge backlash for bowing to political correctness. And I don’t go to Target stores much anymore, ever since a Meijer store opened up near me. So Target’s recent travails don’t really concern me. Tough luck.

Being “woke” might make you feel better about yourself, but it can cost you. Literally. ..

19APR2016 Target’s stock price was at $83.98.

7APR2017 it’s now at $53.24.

Wonder how low the share price will go before he goes?

The diddler should have kept his proclivities out of the business that paid his salary.

It ain’t like rocket science where you can blow things up and keep trying until it flies.

And here I was, thinking I was the only one who noticed that. CYA in action.

I don’t know how he won (Bush), no one I know voted for him.

Remember that?

I would like to see what happens at the next shareholders meeting. I just don’t want to have target stock to be able to attend.

I’ve been around people like that. If one is cordial to them and can carry on an intelligent conversation, they automatically assume your politics are identical.
Which seems pretty stupid, considering they’re all so smug and smart.

I would call them a lot of things, just not on FR.

It's a struggle. The left is so bleedingly obvious in their mendacity and projection it's hard to contain myself. It's insulting to me to hear their blather, just like the snowflakes on FR.

These hired hand public CEOs live in their own world (and club) where they think they know so much that they have an obligation to inject their politics.

They are rarely held accountable for incompetent decisions and fired without getting a major golden parachute. That they are protected by an employment contract is an outrage while underlings are at will employees. Kellogg CEO played politics and many employees are losing jobs.

Everyone in his liberal dinner party bubble assured him that it was a fabulous idea.

LOL - good one lurk.

...sales have dropped every quarter since the post.

In no large part thanks to me.

Ever since Target chose to make its bathrooms safe for cross-identifying men to be in the womens/girls room, I have chosen to shop elsewhere.

We have a lot of choices when we seek to buy toothpaste and paper towels, and I am happy with my alternative.

Target? It's like it never even happened.

I don’t buy anything kellogg and I don’t buy anything at target. Sorry the employees may suffer and that the CEO’s may get bailed out.

Disney, Comcast, and Time Warner deserve the same level of scrutiny as Target...

” just like the snowflakes on FR. “

Quite a few for sure. Soro’s and other trolls as well, it has calmed down a bit since Hitlery is no longer officially running. They are still here though and donate to keep their place and propaganda. To bad that many freepers don’t see it for what it is. Mockery is a great weapon!

Well, the syrian attack is a huge flare-up. Roaches are coming out of the woodwork.

Totally flawed and sloppy reporting. Even what passes for a journalist today ought to know that correlation is not causation.

TGT has been on a decline for several years, due to factors having nothing to do with the bathroom issue. There is absolutely no evidence that the sales results quoted are due to that issue. There may be a cause and effect relationship or maybe not, the article doesn’t say and no one has put forth anything other than conjecture to imply there is.

This is the perfect definition of fake news.

It was Pauline Kael speaking of Nixon’s 1972 election.
