Target's CEO said in a recent interview that "woke" capitalism is "great" for their brand and "the right thing for society," but with the corporation's image and bottom line at stake, the retail chain seems to have changed its tune.

time to add another pile of dog sh## to the pile
“Woke” Capitalism = Fascism.
I bought it at Walmart.
Women’s bathing suits for men, now with duct tape.
I’d boycott the idiots but I don’t go into Target. I just don’t like the joint. Seems like a DNC gift shop to me.
My God.
They hired and PAID a transgender satanist to create shirts for children.
You know they would NEVER hire a Christian to put Bible verses on shirts for anyone.
They can rot.
What hubris. I won’t spend a penny at any company that promotes evil.
Yup! This CEO wants it both ways… Ain’t happening
My prediction: they go BK or the CEO gets fired.
When you run a five and dime, it’s hard to be relevant.
Why is it target CEO’s position to comment on society let alone influence it
I cannot boycott MORE something I already am boycotting...
But if I could I would.
I hope Target dies. Or gets taken over by Hobby Lobby.
Yep. Same here. Don’t miss them at all.
Mental issues
Sure suck up another bud lite.
AVOID TARGET.
Captain of the Titanic....no need to panic....we’re just stopping to pick up some ice.
It’s sure been good for TGT stock price so why wouldn’t he say this?
