I think I’ve only been in a Target store 3 times in the last decade…….maybe longer but it will be a cold day in hell before I go back there.

I saw a list of things you can’t buy if you don’t support corporations like Target. Let’s just say, you’ll starve to death, own zero technology and not use the internet.

In any event, I can’t boycott Target over this since I quit shopping there back when they first jumped on the Anti Christian bandwagon by banning the Salvation Army at Christmas and removing such things as real Christmas music and displays from their stores at Christmas.
I assume they don’t care about what I think or want me as a customer since I e-mailed them a polite note at the time telling them of my objections and asking they reconsider but never received a reply of any kind, I doubt anyone doing the same about this today will find anything different.
We were spending about $500/month at Target as it’s convenient to shop there. Not any more. Why dumbass businesses think it’s necessary to weigh in on issues like this is beyond me. Morons.

Wip,
Not really, for those things you can’t fully avoid you can absolutely minimize use of their products and services.
For instance, Hershey moving production to Mexico just means those objecting simply have to do a bit of research and find American made chocolate instead of buying theirs if they want to protest by boycott.
Looking for alternatives among those who support your beliefs and using only the absolute minimum of what you can’t find elsewhere may take some effort, but it doesn’t mean you’ll starve.
I also quit wearing Levi’s back when they jumped on the homo bandwagon, apparently any others did as well since they went from dominating the market to being just another minor player among many after they did it and ignored the complaints against their active support for homo causes. They didn’t have to do it, it had nothing to do with their business and they lost out by doing it anyway. This is how boycotts work, the long run is what counts not the immediate effect.
Don’t shop at Target ever since many years ago that they don’t give funds to Veteran Groups – bet they suck er give to LGBT.

About 20 years ago, I was the North Florida Coordinator for Florida Prop 209 (to end Racial Discrimination) and the Tallahassee Target Store Manager said he opposed the effort because he didn’t want Blacks to boycott his store. So Racial Discrimination, anti-Christs, and Perverts are Good with Target.

Personally, for myself, this does not threaten me because as a man, the odds of somebody attacking me in a restroom are very low, and frankly, if a gay man entered the restroom, as long as he minded his business and did not bother me (or others) and kept to himself, it wouldn’t be a problem.
But women and children are now risking the danger of going to the restroom with a man who dresses like a woman.
If this infuriating idiocy continues, I will personally stand guard at every public restroom my wife/children need to use and will instruct them on self-defense.
Things like this are reasons why other countries now laugh at America. Liberals think this is simply being “inclusive” and “accommodating,” especially towards minorities (sexual or racial), but anybody who thinks that countries in the Middle East (for example) would be this “tolerant” are deluded. They’re laughing at us.

” Hershey moving production to Mexico ”
OK, it’s hearsay, but a Hershey retiree told my wife (several years ago on a trip to Hershey Park) that Hershey was planning to expand manufacturing into Mexico for access to affordable cane sugar because the cost was prohibitive here and HFCS made an inferior chocolate.
There are sometimes sound, and even laudable reasons for corporate decisions.

Ed- Hershey and Nestles chocolate is horrible so forget them. Let the Mexicans buy that crap.
And to hell with Target, let them go to Mexico with Hershey. Weird ass men don’t need to be in the bathroom with our females……..period.

Maybe we should change the bathrooms from men’s and women’s to dicks and dickless. Then all the liberals can freely use the dickless bathrooms. And as an added bonus solve this stupid problem.

None of my business but I’m curious about what you spend $500/month on at Target? Do they sell food where you live? I’m just curious because I don’t think my wife and I together spend more than $1000/yr in total at Target type stores.

Hershey’s is low grade chocolate. Living in Europe taught me that when I ate my first chocolate bar there.

Ahem, the Mexicans invented chocolate. All the Euros did was add sweeteners.
American food is distinctive because it is super sweet or super salty. You go to Europe and taste blander food and you think you’ve had a taste of class. Be sure you hold you pinky up as you sip your Ripple.

Hershey made great chocolate until it became too expensive to use cane sugar, (thanks to federal protection of US sugar growers) cocoa butter, and other nut oils while paying through the nose for regulations, and federal matching SS, etc. while being raped by unions.
If they go back to making high quality chocolate, I’ll buy it, even if it’s made in Mexico because kiss my ass.
I pay $20 per case for Coca Cola in heavy glass bottles from Mexico. It tastes great, since the Mexican Coke bottlers didn’t change their formula, and they still make it with cane sugar. US made coke is only good for cleaning battery terminals in a car.

EC- I knew you would call me out on that chocolate crack and yes I know that beaners were the original chocolate consumers.
Nothing against Mexicans but if they take our jobs, they need to buy the products. In this case, low quality candy.
How can the Mexicans take y’all’s jobs without leavin home? Oh, I get it, all jobs are Merkin jobs. Them dam Meskins better not go get a job in Juarez. They better not eat all the chocolate, neither.

Ed- If you want to be really old, you may want to read the back of your Mexican Coke bottles. That cola contains phosphoric acid also so you can certainly clean up some battery cables with that libation. I had a project for years to ask people who had bypass surgery if they consumed soft drinks with phosphoric acid in the formula and also mixed proteins and carbs at meals (such as meat sandwiches and hamburgers etc.) There was a yes from 100% of the people I questioned.
I believe phosphoric acid to be very dangerous to human health, that is a main ingredient in paint strippers.
