Target Shares Have Now Lost 23% of Value, Company Ends Priority Projects in Wake of Transgender Policy Backlash


From RT:
US retail giant Target has scrapped two high priority projects after a public backlash in response to a proposal to introduce transgender-friendly, mixed-sex, bathrooms and fitting rooms. 
The retailer shut down its ‘Store of the Future’ concept before it kicked off. The project was aimed at promoting a new outlet design combining a smaller upfront retail store fronting a warehouse and robots picking items for the customers up front. 
Another project the corporation has decided to scuttle is ‘Goldfish,’ which was intended to set up an online marketplace where other retailers and manufacturers could sell products to customers through Target. 
The public backlash was triggered by the company’s April announcement it would welcome transgender customers to use any bathroom or dressing room that matched their gender identity. 
Target’s shares have fallen almost 23 percent since last April. The stock price drop has washed out about $10 billion from the retailer’s value. 
The measure comes as part of the normal ebb and flow of business, according to the retailer.
AND THEN THERE'S THIS:

Male transgender prisoner guilty of brutal murder is moved from women's jail 'because he kept having sex with female inmates'

OT. Via NYPost. "The democrat party has lost its mind"
No president has ever had so few Cabinet members confirmed at this late date, just as no president has been confronted with such open talk of assassination and impeachment.

Speaking of which, have you heard a single Democrat decry the talk of assassination? Have you heard a single Democrat denounce the violence carried out by so-called protesters?

The answer is no and no because Dems see the riots and threats of violence as legitimate expressions of disapproval — and convenient for their purposes. Their contribution to the “resistance” started when 70 Democrats boycotted Trump’s inauguration and many senators boycotted confirmation hearings and votes. Maybe they’ll soon throw rocks through windows.

FFS...WashingtonTimes: 77% of refugees allowed into U.S. since travel reprieve hail from seven suspect countries
The State Department has more than doubled the rate of refugees from Iraq, Syria and other suspect countries in the week since a federal judge’s reprieve, in what analysts said appears to be a push to admit as many people as possible before another court puts the program back on ice.
A staggering 77 percent of the 1,100 refugees let in since Judge James L. Robart’s Feb. 3 order have been from the seven suspect countries. Nearly a third are from Syria alone — a country that President Trump has ordered be banned altogether from the refugee program. Another 21 percent are from Iraq. By contrast, in the two weeks before Judge Robart’s order, just 9 percent of refugees were from Syria and 6 percent were from Iraq.

I repeat. Bolche violence is back, hailed by Lenin's followers.

Were you aware there is a statute of Lenin in downtown Seattle? There is also a taqueria across from the statue, called: Red Taco!

This country, or at least most of the West coast is gone down the tube. Perhaps when the faults give Western states will not need to secede. They will simply be dumped into the ocean. Sorry Pasto.
