    I’d still say Walmart is objectively worse. Target may have dropped DEI, but Walmart has too and they have multiple known practices to push out small companies, predatory practices and tricks to force their workers to live near poverty levels by denying them insurance and decent pay.

      A dramatic downturn of profits at Target immediately after they dropped their DEI policies sends a message. A downturn in Wal-Mart’s profits as they conduct business as usual does not.

      Oh, I know… but they’ve always been shit and never pretended otherwise. Boycotting Target is to send a message to hopefully get then to stop being as shitty.

      Honestly, it all really just seems pointless.

        I’m not suggesting to shop at Target, just don’t spend your money at Walmart instead. Try to find local or other stores that have things. For example, in South Texas there are HEB Plus stores that have pretty much everything Target and Walmart have.
