Does that question mean that one should squash speculation based on observation if one cannot prove the entire hypothesis?

That’s not scientific nor common se ducal. That type of attitude foments ignorance, ridicule and prejudice.

My question to you is, in a world where Target started with social activism years ago, has been reprimanded by consumers, suffered losses, most notably within the last six months, why would they be massively renovating any store, in this case in a crappy neighborhood in a terrible economy competing with on line merchandizing next to other stores shutting down

They’re getting paid. They’re not enjoying returns on investments nor good marketing programs. That’s a fact They’re not enjoying greater sales revenue.

The other question is why are they ignoring public consumer outcry to stop with their woke while flaunting financial gains by needlessly renovating

No one is renovating around here no homes, stores, schools, restaurants. No one.

I’m not sure any of the Dayton family owns very much of Target Corp anymore.

Now it’s owned by the typical mutual funds and institutional investors, such as Vanguard.

It’s lost a reported tens of billions. They have no business renovating under a capitalist market system.

Buried near the very end, below 16 paragraphs and 6 large photos with captions:
Lightyear could not be shown in 14 Middle Eastern and Asian countries because of its depiction of a same-sex relationship. This had an impact on its global box office performance.
Hm, ya think?

How do you delete a movie? You would think for the 10’s of millions it costs to make that they would have many many backups. Now you know why he is the former chief technical officer.

“Pixar’s former chief technical officer explained how someone likely ran the command ‘at the root level of the project and the system was recursively tracking down through the file structure and deleting its way out like a worm eating its way out from the core of an apple”

Believe it or not, Disney as a company is made up of many, some of them are truly great people. Not as monolithic as you portray.. still, I sold my Disney stock 2 years ago because of the frightfully poor management.
