You take a look at nearly every beer company and I’m not talking about Bud Light and they are supporting woke ism in someway or another. They are not losing money because of it.

 

How my favorite beer of choice Corona has been walk for a while they’re not losing money

 

I think most of the country is in the middle politically no matter if they are a D or R not the extreme left or right.

To me, there is a spectrum of wokeism. Some consider the simple acceptance as being woke. To others, concerns don't manifest until activism is introduced. Soft vs hard woke, if you will. Personally, I'm accepting of anything an adult wants to do. I don't bring an "in your face" activisim to anyone and I expect the same from those I choose to interact with. Those that feel the need to get all activist, from any perspective, aren't in my social circles.

WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING, BESIDES EVERYONE? 

 

Target Sales Are Punished by Pride Month Backlash:

Retailer lowers profit goal for full year; executives say they will modify Pride Month promotion.

 

Target TGT 3.21%increase; green up pointing triangle said shopper backlash over its Pride Month collection, as well as cautious consumers, pushed sales sharply lower in the most recent quarter.

 

The retailer said it expected sales to decline again in the current quarter and lowered its profit goal for the full year. Executives said they would still mark Pride Month next year but with a more focused assortment of merchandise. . . .

 

Retail rival TJX, which owns T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods, reported on Wednesday a 6% jump in comparable sales in the same quarter and raised its sales growth and profit targets for the year. TJX said it had strong foot traffic to its stores and demand for apparel and home goods. Shares gained 3% in premarket trading.

Target shares have fallen 16% so far this year. Its experience with its Pride collection exemplifies the cultural environment companies face when it comes to issues that could be perceived as controversial.

 

Who could have guessed that kid’s bikinis designed for boys to tuck their penises away would be “perceived as controversial?”

 

Again, everyone except the bubble-dwellers in Target’s fashion merchandising and marketing departments.

 

Another example of the diversity problem within nearly all of our major institutions.

Understand that there are degrees of woke, right? I think you're including some pretty mild shyt in your definition of of woke in order to defend some pretty crazy levels of woke. Understand there is a difference.

The degree of wokeness determines the degree of brokeness?
