I love watching companies tear themselves apart trying to appeal to both sides of the aisle.

Eventually, they're just going to have to stop trying and pick a side. That's when the real fun begins.

    Why not just run a decent business? You don't need to appeal to the left or right to sell food at a restaurant to hungry road trippers. Make your product appealing and people will come.

    That's what I don't understand about target as well. They went out of their way to appeal to the left, then out of their way to appeal to the right, and now everyone is pissed off. If they stuck to selling stuff at reasonable prices, they would've been fine.

    Don't discriminate in your workforce, just find the best people for the job and you'll do fine with people regardless of their politics.

    Bc propaganda sells and corporations have entire teams that exist to market a brand as a value. That's why Dove and Axe are both owned by the same parent company.

    One exists to empower women and one exists to empower men by objectifying women. It's not that either are really run by anybody with those values. They're both faceless corporations, and it's all just a marketing ploy.

    This is Propaganda
