Target Hit with 90% Loss as Retailer Pushes Trans Gear on Youth, Chest Binders, Packing Underwear
DJHJ Media ^ | 08/20/2022 | Steve Ahle

Target, the leader in wokeness took a 90% loss over the same period last year after they overstocked on clothing and accessories for transgenders. For some strange reason, they decided that there are many more transgenders than there actually are. As a result, they had to lower prices in order to lower their inventory that just wasn’t selling. Target had previously shot themselves in the foot after letting people use the bathrooms and changing rooms according to how they identified.

In the second quarter of this year, Target reported earnings of $183 million in second-quarter net income after earning $1.82 billion over the same period last year. In the first quarter, profits dropped by 52% over last year. That means Target averaged a profit of 94,427.24 per store in the second quarter. That is pathetic and could cause them to close even more stores and put more people out of work.

Target stock dropped $7.15 a share on the news of decreased profits. In 2016, they shot themselves in the foot when they began allowing men in the women’s bathrooms and changing rooms. They kept the policy, even though it cost them, customers. Target doubled down and began selling clothing designed to help people “transition” including young children and they bought huge amounts of chest binders and packing underwear, “which [gives] the appearance of a phallus...”

TGT stock sold for $60 a share in 2017, then rose to a high of $260 a share by last summer - despite all the FR wishful thinking that “bathroom boycotts” had any effect at all. People who invested in TGT doubled or tripled or quadrupled their money if they sold last summer.

So what’s happened from last summer til now? Well gee let’s see...could it be that the price of EVERY DAMN THING has gone up due to Bidenomics? Or that diesel is over $5 a gallon now and everything Target sells comes in a truck? Or that Americans are having to spend more $ just to keep their cars full of gas to get to work and less on discretionary purchases?

Of course it is. Anyone who thinks there’s a correlation between selling chest binders and TGT stock probably also thinks the bathroom boycott brought the company to its knees.

But this is what passes for analysis on FR these days. It’s more important to chime on on the groupthink and post your favorite blog.

The high flying marketing types tend to go for the latest “thing”—and sound persuasive—and then when it crashes and burns in the real world they get fired and move on to their next corporate mark.

Since they are skilled liars they are great at interviews for new employment—and of course their resume cites brilliant success after brilliant success.

;-)

Yeah. There was a not so old homo that moved here from California. I’d see him in a pleated skirt, once in a while. I thought about crushing his soul be telling him he really didn’t have the legs for it, but didn’t.

I just ask that my co-workers do not judge me too harshly when I show up for work this fall in transgender gear. It's just that I find it hard to turn down a bargain. Besides, it will probably get me a promotion and raise.

Remember Al Gore on the magazine cover with socks stuffed in the front of his pants?

He was working on his first level “crotchka”.

Excellent observation. I saw a lot of that as a public high school teacher. The Board of Education would bring in flashy outside consultants who would push nonsensical “modern” curricula. Student scores would go down, and a few teachers would get fired (sacrificed).

Old consultants would then be replaced by new consultants. Rinse and repeat.

You should have. If they want to pretend to be women, they ought to hear what women get told. These delusional fairies live in a fantasy bubble thinking all men want them. A little reality check would be good for these clowns.

at this point I don’t do any business with companies that have embraced the woke ideology if I can.

If you’re still shopping at target then you are just as guilty as they are of promoting this tranny garbage to children!

I've not been in a "Target" for over 20 years. That said....why are they still called Target.

I would have thought the PC police would have totally bashed that company to bits...for their name..and logo.

This one seems to have figured out he’s not in California, any more. He’d wear about thirty piercings in his face and ears...that figure may be low. The first I was aware of him was when I saw his car...Cali plates, homo Jesus fish, and a bumper sticker that said “ Bad cowboy...go to my room.” Then I went in the store and saw him. I think the last time I saw him he was with some old man.

Dude really does have chicken legs. :)

Anyone believe if I walked into a Target and said "I 'self identify' as a Pinkerton guard - and I'm here to 'pick up all the cash'... that they would give me the cash? Target thinks because they can fool themselves they can fool others... Idiots. I'm amazed they're still in business.

“Target stock dropped $7.15 a share on the news of decreased profits. “

Up $30 prior to the drop. Up $7 after the drop.

“Of course ... But this is what passes for analysis on FR these days.”

Yeah, I don’t see “analysis” of corporate gender dysphoria policies listed on the FR Welcome page:

“Welcome to Free Republic!
Established in 1996, Free Republic is one of the earliest and largest online gathering places for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We’re working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!”

Maybe you can go someplace more to your liking.
