Not just a recession but a stagflation looks likely in the future.

Well I don't doubt tariffs and inflation are having an effect here. Let's not forget Target abandoned their DEI goals and programs.

Costco did not, they doubled down. There quarterly earnings will be reported on the 29th of May.

Got myself a costco membership specifically because of their recent position in the news. In the process of getting the card and official entering the store I had 3 different people stop me to complement my invader zim shirt. I've never felt so welcome before.

Last order was 2/9/25. I was a multi-day-per-week shopper at Target. Fuck them, I hope they burn.

Yeah, Target doesn't get any money from me anymore. I have a Trans Pride flag in my office window. We're incompatible.

Right on. Have a child who I thought Target supported, too. They’ll never get another dime from me without a multi-year binding effort and only after they’ve demonstrated their commitment for multiple years.
Trust is hard earned and easily lost. One would think a company headquartered in the same area as the George Floyd murder and a vocal sponsor of Minneapolis Pride would have a fucking backbone.
Fuck you, Target.

This happens every time. You'd think these people could spot a trend.

Pffft, I'll bet even some democrats still believe Republicans are better at managing the economy.
