Medtronic and Seagate moved their HQs to Ireland. Honeywell, Burger King and Purina did so long ago.

But they still have Target.

“But they still have Target”

The Minnesota Star Tribune reports that Target Corp. will cut 1,800 positions from its corporate headquarters, which represents around 8% of the company’s global team. “The Minneapolis-based retailer said changes were not made to cut costs but to make Target’s operations more agile and improve decision-making.”

The rainbow DEI crowd is saddened.

When I worked for Medtronic and lived in Minneapolis for 2 years from 2005 to 2007, I was stunned by how many big companies had their headquarters in Minneapolis. The place had a very good job market for White Collar jobs. The winters were unbearable but the job market was good. Like all Blue chitholes, they are going more and more and more insane and are driving those businesses out.

All the blue chitholes seem to have that in common. They used to be rich and built up a lot of successful businesses. Now they're living off of those businesses and the legacy of their past wealth and slowly bleeding it out with high taxes and socialism......acting like those businesses can never and will never leave. But they do. Something tells me they won't dial back the socialism one bit until they have thoroughly run those cities right into the ground and there is no more money left to tax or steal.
