Target, another woke corporation, taking a beating. One of the reasons given is rampant shoplifting. Good.

Are you able to source that assertion, I had not read about that yet and would welcome the opportunity to become more informed.

It’s not that, I’m here for discussion of basic facts.  That’s what I lay out. The rest is just spin. The internet can provide any side you’re looking for. What can’t be spun is target is woke, and via their own statement they are losing money due to rampant shoplifting, and this makes me glad.

Yeah, I am looking, having some struggled locating anything on it, but some of what I found is leading me to look at the SEC filings, which can often be interesting.

Can you prove that being woke is the reason behind it?  Just saying it doesn't make it true.

No, I made it obvious that I was asking if being woke was the reason for them taking a beating.  You have a tendency to suggest that anytime a "woke" company has any struggles.

Really. Never mentioned woke being a reason for them losing money. I said they are woke, and one of the reasons they are losing money is due to shoplifting. Rampant shoplifting. Go read it again.

So you focked up, again, and made a claim I said something I hadn’t and just brushed past that and made it about me. Meanwhile, if you actually read what I wrote instead of seeing what you wanted to see I wouldn’t be engaged in this tedious, annoying back and forth with you. And they say I’m the one that only wants to argue. Whatever.

You're the one making the accusation, you're the one that needs to provide the proof. If you come with a dig and provide no evidence, he's within his rights to doubt you.

Now you could come up with a link to a right wing source ...

... that would work for me. There are few unbiased sources out there on the internet, sadly. Leftwing corporate MSM sources would be better. But the best place is directly from them. If you do a minute's worth of homework, their own website is the perfect place to look:

No. It is known, there’s no homework necessary, even though I did look up their statements on the woke crap. If you don’t know find out for yourself. Or don’t. IDGAF.

Like I  always say, I could state the sky is blue and my fan club would argue the point. Target is woke. It’s not up for debate. If you’re not aware of this then go make yourself aware. Funny no one has claimed they aren’t.

No this is you playing the martyr when you get called on something. The color of the sky is a visual fact. You state this ideas and then when asked to provide evidence of it you say "Go to Google and look at the results." That is basically you saying "I'll say whatever I want and let others prove it."

"Being woke" has very little to do with the relative success or failure of a company. It is just a company choosing to boost their profile by appealing to a segment of the population. It is nothing more, nothing less.

Is that what I said or is that what you wish I said? The sky is blue. Let’s stick to what I actually said. A company can be woke and make money because they are.  Like FTX. People like Target because it’s not Wal- mart. Same crap, different package.

Nope. That’s exactly what I think. So this whole notion that I claim target loses money by being woke is false. That was a fantasy my fan club made up. You guys do it a lot. I think it has benefited them. Just like some other corporations. Sorry you can’t grasp that.

I know exactly what I’m saying, there is no argument. Companies can benefit financially by being woke. Target is one of them. Can you not grasp that? There is a market for this woke stuff. Do you deny that? Disney is about entertainment for kids and families. Many people don’t want that woke shite mixed in with family entertainment.  That cost them. This ain’t difficult man.

You have said Disney and Target are losing money because they went woke....now you are saying well companies can make money by going woke- Target is one of them...yet you were criticizing their going woke this thread. This line of argument also ignores that Disney is still making a ton of money DESPITE going woke which you say would hurt them.

I'm not making this up...people can look through this entire thread (if they are that big of a masochist) and see the argument you have put forward at all turns.
