And Target goes the woke/broke route

 After filling their stores with ‘tuck friendly’ swimsuits and similar clothing for children and babies, Target is finding its Bud Light moment.  They are simultaneously scrambling to minimize damage by hiding these items in the backs of stores while the CEO is publicly standing behind them.

 Yep, they are down $9 billion and are still in free fall.

Deservedly so. 

They lost my business when they were on the forefront of allowing men in women’s bathrooms.  In addition to the data breaches that they experience periodically.

I think a lot of folks are following suit with this latest bit of stupid. 

ETA:  Aaaand as B in the comments noted, North Face is joining the spokescritter crowd by having a man in womanface prancing about touting its summer wear.  This one really sucks.  I love my North Face jacket but have others from Menards that might work as well.

    This is just the beginning I'm afraid. I surprised how many clueless companies are out there.

    I'm starting to think all new marketing graduates are just lemmings following the crowd over the cliff.What I am even more surprised at that is CEO's would be willing to piss off 80% of their existing customers to potentially attract 0.4% of the population.

    Gerry: These folks aren't new graduates. This has been festering a long time. These folks that make the decisions graduated 12-15 years ago. THey were indoctrinated than, and have just now risen to the point in their careers that they have the power to push the Woke agenda. Same way with these prosecutors. Not recent graduates.
