Worst-case scenario if it doesn’t work, just blame it on trans and DEI.
They push DEI, they aren't good people
I got your point, I'm saying they're fundamentally flawed, and maybe DEI is better than nothing, but all in all, it's probably doing jack shit.
Ok, let me be more obvious with my point: Universities made diversity, equity and inclusion policies specifically to solve the “fuelling nepotism” problem. Those programs, while not perfect, have since been villainized as “big bad DEI” and are being removed or rolled back, because of politicization by people who didn’t understand them and thought it meant “racism” when it actually meant “meritocracy”.
Yes they are. We are living the real life version of "The Emperor's New Clothes". At first Mr. Orange surrounded himself with unqualified yes people to stoke his ego. Then he went after the major law offices in DC most cave right away and granted him millions in free hours of work. So they wouldn't be striped of there security clearance's. He went after all the companies and their DEI programs telling them what to do or face repercussion's. Now the university for what they teach and allow on their grounds. So far Harvard is standing up and calling him out. Everyone is afraid of what he might do to them instead of pushing back and keeping him in line to the rules and Constitution. If they did we might not be in this mess. #
Is this guy legit a DEI hire? Like compare this guy to every POC on Biden s cabinet...
DEI HIRE 
This whole cabinet is a bunch of DEI white dudes who are extremely unqualified.
🥭: I saw Conclave, I didn't like it, too much illegal DEI. As the new Pope, we will also remove the radical leftist DEI from Heaven.
These bitchmade fucks talk about DEI in every goddamn conversation. Just say the n word lmao
We would have heard gibberish punctuated by cackles for four years. Seriously, what do I think would have happened with a low-experience public defender who DEI'd her way up the political food chain and obviously knew nothing and could do nothing? Gee, I dunno.
This is unwatchable, I am all for these special needs programs for hiring, but I would assume you would look for qualified people for the white house. But I guess DEI? I mean you got convict hiring, addiction hiring, mental deficient hiring, really hitting a lot of diversity there.
OK, so when next quarter is worse will he own it? Probably DEI's fault at that point.
Bruh just call out the dumb bitches on CNBC as retards. Why these analysts show respect to retarded comments from Sarah. Stop the DEI cuck behavior!!!
Using math is unfair to Trumpanzies. Math is woke and DEI. What does math use? Terrorist Arabic numerals, prepare to be sent to a Salvadorian Gulag.

Invade a neighboring country. Break some windows. Make the DEI hires wear distinctive stars.
Ok hear me out in the billionaire thing.. The billionaires running America today aren’t entrepreneurs. They’re empire managers. They didn’t invent anything. They inherited monopolies, scaled them globally. Warren Buffett buys up broken-down companies and milks them- Jeff Bezos replaced American towns with Amazon warehouses and Chinese supply chains. The Walton family killed small business across the country—one Walmart at a time. George Soros plays currency markets like a god and funds chaos for profit. Bill Gates wrapped himself around global health and education systems—not to fix them, but to control them. These guys didn’t build America. They built a system to feed off it. But a new faction rose—one that doesn’t intergrate with the previous group. Elon Musk didn’t inherit power. He earned it by bleeding for it, building rockets when NASA gave up, building electric cars when Big Auto laughed, buying Twitter to break the media narrative. Peter Thiel said no to Silicon Valley groupthink and backed the only people who dared to speak truth to power. David Sacks called out the ESG scam and corporate censorship when no one else would. Vivek Ramaswamy left the pharma cartel and started torching the sacred cows of the system—DEI, ESG, and every fake reform. These aren’t billionaires who want to keep the system. They want to disrupt it and crash it and rebuild it from the ground up. And who do they orbit? Trump. Not because he’s “one of them” in tech or innovation—but because he’s the only one with the spine to go to war with the same enemy: The corporate cartel that gutted America. Trump is their battering ram. He’s the wrecking ball they all bet on—not just for themselves, but for the janitor, the builder, the welder, and the trucker who got left behind. And that’s why the system fears him. And this time, the rebellion is funded. (Cue in john williams star wars opening theme)

Let me try to explain my pov here- The billionaires running America today aren’t entrepreneurs. They’re empire managers. They didn’t invent anything.

I’m a fed employee, for now, and what’s not reaching the news is how doge is impacting federal spending. We’ve basically been unable to spend anything since the end of February. Even putting money on existing contracts that we may have is getting held up. The government is the country’s top employer and spender. Doge doesn’t go away when Elon does, it’s incredibly irresponsible for the media to present it as such. The loss of the fed jobs are just now starting to trickle out, which will increase each month, but we are going to start to see incremental increases in the job losses of folks supporting fed gov (think contractors) and those dependent on fed gov (think grantees, academics). Eventually the impacts from not allowing us to spend our appropriated budget, in addition to consumer drops in spending due to these losses, will have its own impacts on the market and jobs. This is all a man made disaster… and while it’s going to have a massive snowball effect on the economy on the short term, he has also taken a hatchet to STEM that will destabilize our country as the leader of scientific innovation. We don’t recover from this one. America has handed our future over because the a couple of trans people played sports (and other DEI scare tactics), bc the DNC didn’t give RFK jr the nomination after Biden dropped, and bc Fox News successfully convinced folks that the stock market was bad (even though their 401k would prove them otherwise). We are going back to 1880-1920s level of inequality and it will take a second coming of FDR, a progressive taxing of the billionaires, and decades to restore a solid middle class. All the while, I doubt we will ever get back to being the leader in innovation - by that point we will be too far behind China.
And Trump will blame DEI for it.
Lmfao the DEI bullshit” this guy catches me off guard sometimes
How can the labor market hold if businesses fold? I support research. My state lost just under 3k research jobs so far because of the shake-up around grants being held/cancelled for anything with a whiff of "DEI". Everything downstream is being affected - construction for facilities - we're bulldozing a building instead of renovating it for lab space as originally planned. IT professionals who support those researchers are losing jobs (what I do.) Our intellectual competitiveness in the world is at stake. Increased costs = labor reduction. The the labor market had no chance of holding.
Political hires = DEI hires
Karoline Leavitt is hot af When she mentions Nvidia, i instajizz Major upgrade from Biden's DEI hire
"Extreme opposite of Trump." The fuck are you on about? Dems ran a center right campaign. Did you hear her speech at the DNC? She sounded like a Bush era republican. Strong army? Helping small businesses, NATO, etc, is all old-school neo-con shit. It seemingly can't be helped, that the majority of this country is so obsessed with culture war bullshit. That we're willing to destroy every aspect of this country because of 12 trans athletes or DEI programs. If Harris lacked intelligence, what does that make Trump? The reason their fascist agenda isn't particularly smooth (the supposed one strength of fascism. Hey, the trains runnon time!) Is because they are inherently incompetent. Which is what happens when you value loyalty above competence. But hey, this is the most meritocratic admin. Common sense! That's why we have Stephen Miller dictating immigration policy, Navarro on econ and tariffs, Hegseth at the DoD, RFK Jr. at HHS, Bondi as AG, Patel at the FBI, and on and on... Meanwhile, Trump golfs incessantly and returns only to have a parade of Heritage Foundation executive orders placed in front of him and read out for his chicken scratch signature; and masturbatory cabinet meetings where his sycophants sit around a table like grade school children having to say what they most like about him, and how great a job he's doing. But yeah, Harris was the far-left extremist, Marxist, communist, socialist, Maoist, third worldist.
Department of Economic Integrity, end DEI
DEI = Da Economy Intact 
Two DEI hires speaking: one female the other 🏳🌈
TLDR: target is like urban Walmart. Only it's kinda hard to be urban Walmart cause real estate is expensive in the city. On top of that, when aiming for a clientele that can afford all their teeth, you have spend some bux to create a nice expirence. This worked before Amazon. They've been struggling since then. Recently, They were like the first company to drop their DEI program. Turns out their Base was mostly liberals and minorities.
That’s what I’m sayin’ she’s always got money and doesn’t care about DEI
The sole benefit of dismantling DEI
Because of all the lowered standardized testing criteria due to DEI? Agreed.
God damnit I wish people would listen to you. I'm a city boy buy my extended family is all rural. People don't understand how bad it has been in rural America and saying "just move to the cities" is asinine. Why would you vote for a democrat who doesn't give a fuck about you. Big city liberals seem convinced that every rural resident is dumb as a box of rocks and is too stupid to vote for their best interest. News flash, NO ONE has their best interest and hasn't since before Reagan. Do I vote for the asshole who ignores me and calls me a racist pig or do I vote for the asshole who ignores me and calls liberals big city DEI hires? Neither is going to help, but I'll get a lot more entertainment from watching the liberals lose their minds... Now, to be fair, I think this may be the first time where rural America is going to see a marked change after electing their preferred candidate. The tarriff stuff is pretty basic economics and it's going to hit rural america MUCH harder than the cities. Ah well, 2 party system and all, been a fun ride.
American politicians are too pre-occupied with arguing about DEI and trans people. Innovation and productivity don’t just happen; they’re the end result of a motivated and intelligent population. Imo, it’s a huge long term risk that isn’t priced in. What does American industry look like after 50 years of reduced educational standards?
Hmmmm the comp I work for no longer requires us to attend DEI course.
No DEI monday. Has to be white Monday.
Target will of course, blame the DEI customers...
You say pronoun mandates, DEI, compelled statements, etc. but YOU can’t point to specific examples of the Biden administration compelling anyone to say anything. Campus speech codes? Where? You mean like the current administration forcing law firms and universities to bend the knee or risk losing funding? [Perkins Coie](https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChsSEwjQz5WZxPmMAxXRMAgFHZ17EaAYACICCAEQABoCbWQ&co=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwq7fABhB2EiwAwk-YbLnhw6oZy77jdxLW7oBQnBCKQHCC1DOp8wejl9RjF3KXbe-sg6pYZhoCYMkQAvD_BwE&cce=1&sig=AOD64_3XJ7XERQt8bdw4aCLL0KuVmE85rA&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwig0JCZxPmMAxWQjYkEHW5kLCUQ0Qx6BAgLEAE) COVID Scams? Like the PPP loans that democrats pushed for oversight, [but republicans wouldn’t support?](https://time.com/5823510/coronavirus-stimulus-oversight/) Bringing up Bob Menendez is silly. He is currently sitting in jail because democrats hold officials accountable and actually enforce the law. Unlike the Republican Party that’s led by a convicted felon. You’re either poorly informed because you watch FNC, newsmax, or just get your news from facebook, or you’re willfully ignorant. Deporting people (including actual citizens) without due process, ruling by executive order, not abiding to SCOTUS rulings, cutting funding to institutions for exercising free speech, creating fake emergencies so he can use/abuse presidential powers, his global trade war ( not illegal or an example of being a fascist, just proves that he’s a fucking idiot that doesn’t understand how anything works), weaponizing the DOJ and the IRS (stuff he accused others of, even though his claims were bs) and so much more. He is a fascist wannabe authoritarian who absolutely sucks at everything including golf.
Can we still call it Black Monday or is that illegal because of DEI?
I gave you concrete examples of forced speech - pronoun mandates, DEI compelled statements, campus speech codes, social media censorship and fraudulent spending - COVID relief scams, DOE oversight failures, climate grants, parole fraud. You didn’t touch them. Instead, you spun a yarn about Musk, and tossed in some Republican bashing. If you’re going to make bold claims, at least bring examples as I have at your request. On oligarchy, Soros, like Musk, wields massive influence through wealth. His Open Society Foundations pump billions into NGOs and activist causes like progressive DAs, election law reform, open border advocacy. These aren’t grassroots movements. They are top-down, funded by a single billionaire bypassing democratic checks. Public grant records confirm this. Musk does similar, flexing his cash to shape policies or back political causes. Both are textbook oligarchs - unelected elites steering public outcomes. The difference? You seem to give Soros a pass while clutching pearls over Musk. Why the double standard? Liberals aren’t immune to antisemitic tendencies either. Look at the progressive left’s rhetoric: BDS movements, “Zionist” dogwhistles, or campus protests that veer into targeting Jewish students. The Anti-Defamation League’s 2024 data shows rising antisemitic incidents, often tied to far-left activism as much as far-right. Criticizing Soros for his influence isn’t about his Jewishness—it’s about his actions. Conflating policy critique with bigotry is a lazy tactic to shut down debate. And where are your examples? You’ve yet to list one. Your “fascist and oligarchic” label for this administration sounds tough, but you haven’t backed it up. If you want to talk fascism, let’s discuss state-corporate collusion or lawfare. Both sides have skeletons. Corruption isn’t a Republican monopoly. Menendez’s bribes, Cuomo’s nursing home scandal, or the Clintons’ foundation grift prove it. The “every kid diddler is Republican” jab is absurd. Liberals like Bill Clinton, are linked to underage sex scandals through court documents. Harvey Weinstein, a top Democratic donor, dodged abuse allegations for years. Anthony Weiner, a Democratic congressman, was convicted for sexting a minor. Predators don’t pick parties. Pointing fingers at Republicans while ignoring liberal elites is dishonest and ducks the issue. Next time, engage with the examples I gave. Or is this is just you venting? Facts over feelings would be appreciated.
No. They have DEI so you don't stand a chance. Obligatory /s
> melania was d list Is so much worse than that. Melania was arguably human trafficked. She was brought to the US by a friend of Trump, with no history or track record in the industry, to be a model. She lived in a house with tons of other models, except all the other models were 16-19 the age you enter the industry and Melania was 25 which is waaay too old to make it. She then booked 1 ad, for Marlboro who were having trouble casting people because of a new law that said you could not have under 25s in the ad to avoid promiting tobacoo to teens. So if you want someone cheeap you get people entering the industry but by 25 all the models are established or have found a different job, except Melania. So she got hired, basically as a DEI hire for being a decade older than her roomates. She then met Trump who argued for an Einstein Visa (not a joke) implying her 1 ad was gonna be important enough for the american economy. Now if you wanted to traffic women from eastern europe, with a promise of a career they could never achieve, and bring them to new york to be married and used by rich people you could not write a story more clear cut than Melania's.
Forced speech: pronoun usage and gender identity policies, DEI training and statements, compelled expression, campus speech codes, social media censorship (I’d be surprised if this doesn’t get taken down). Fraudulent spending: cov 19 relief program, DOE spending and oversight gaps, climate and NGO grants, parole program fraud, foreign aid. Would you like more examples?
Navarro is his guy. Bessent is the mainstream GOP DEI secretary.
I didn't, but OP included Target in their post - also said CEOs plural. I'm not surprised. Both of those companies also screwed with DEI
He's so cringe he makes LGBT&DEI look like alpha-male movements.
Arbitrary law, like DEI and Race and Gender mandates across Corporate boards or…? Not trying to be rude or contrarian or anything, merely pointing out that if everyone kept this same energy for both sides we may actually get somewhere, otherwise partiality is the tool of demise for any actualized progress.

A step up from the normal Trump DEI/DUI hire.
If anything, the $160B is temporary. The VA will eventually need more nurses. The National Parks will rehire rangers after summer tourism turns to a shot show. I also have to wonder what percentage of the claimed "canceled DEI contracts" were just women and minorities doing a job that still needs to be done...white guys get paid too.
I think it's funny target is going after him when they caved to his DEI EO so fast, they burned off a huge percentage of their customer base.. as if it wasn't their fault..
The usual suspects Biden, DEI and Obama.
Hopefully this DEI flight doesn’t crash
Holy United Airlines sucks massive balls. Landing basically bounced the plane, rude attendants didn’t help man with crutches get out just angrily told to him to exit left (as if being rude to him would magically help him walk again). Not sure if they use DEI to hide their shot service or if it’s why they’re so bad.
Target fucked up and found out the hard way about giving up DEI. probably become the next Kmart.
It’s funny to see such left leaning Reddit on stocks.. I thought socialist didn’t approve of stock market.. are you actually trading here or just salty that the president isn’t a sketchy DEI puppet for the deep state?
Bulls how does it feel to know you are making money off a DEI pump?
Bulls how does it feel to know you are making money off a DEI pump?
What? no Hilary nor DEI? You're missing two of the longest MAGA dog whistles
Oh wow, some unemployed woke DEI guy did some FiNaNciAL anAlySis on the economy! Surely this guy knows what he's talking about. It's not like he doesn't understand that investors are different from traders, or that short term price action is from trading, not investing
Target has a DEI boycott problem. Add tarriffs and they're definitely going under.
They are white lies because DOGE got rid of all the DEI lies. So only white lies (obviously more competent through merit, no racism) are left.
False. Penguinland is 100% DEI and they told Trump to shove it.
It’s funny, the customer base is all about DEI and yet they avoid Walmart which might as well be the most ‘diverse’ store in the US.
Doesn’t matter if they have bare shelves or not. They eliminated their DEI initiatives and people aren’t shopping there any more. So really, they don’t need stuff to put on the shelves and sell.
You can diddle. But it's tariffs. I realize this is really difficult for the MAGAS to realize. But it will be tariffs. Trump will blame it on DEI and the posters will suck it up.
Target? Isn't the internet boycotting target for abandoning DEI?
I figure they just ignore it because trump is deporting all these immigrants and stopped DEI that made their life absolute HELL somehow.
Some index fund will increase forever, no proof it will be VTI and VOO that lead it but you can still see where the top innovating companies are in the world and this shift would be pretty slow and evident to the point that even the Boglehead wiki may be updated to give you better advice when they time truly ever comes. People say to zoom out on VTI and VOO. Guess what when you zoom out enough the political entity may cease to exist. When you zoom out even further the species may cease to exist. Your age and lifespan and some probabilities probably tell you that you probably don’t need to worry about zooming out that far. Just look at Brexit and compare the indexes on the London Stock Exchange or Stoxx 600 index and see it was a crash not as large as the GFC that still destroyed valuations for an entire year. Using Brexit as a case study gives a pretty strong range check on how you might want to react. I love to rant a bit about our political situation cause I do think it to be self-inflicted stupidity. Quite frankly a good gauge is DEI. Despite the setbacks to DEI which country is still truly leading in DEI? Japan has a stagnant population, and had lost decades, they clearly need to open up immigration especially considering it is so easy for them to attract skilled productive and creative workers given they are the weeb capital of the world. How do you think Japan ranks on DEI? They recently had a string of soda pop machines get busted and were quick to blame Vietnamese criminal gangs. If a company like Toyota had more DEI it might have been that a company like Tesla wouldn’t have come along and steal their lunch so hard. The issue is it is hard to create the next generation of automobile for folks living in the states used to larger spread out living populations on a workforce that just lives with some of the best high density public transit in the world. The reality of the situation is when you see many countries look at us and call us inhumane and racist, they often throw stones from a glass house as there are still few to no places in the world with as much heterogeneity. And yes even with sweeping deportations and explicit anti-DEI policy it sadly does not change the US position in being best in DEI. China can’t even stand having Tibetan monks and have issues with Uyghurs. I don’t think their welcome of IShowSpeed changes much about human nature of many populations to be NIMBY. It is easy to claim not to be racist when your minority is 0.1%. Far more folks have difficulty being pro DEI when they see the minority swing closer to majority. And let’s be clear there are many other countries/populations calling us terrible and inhumane about deportations that would *never* entertain the idea of minorities getting close to 49%.
When will the mods officially come out and disclaim the DEI policy for WSB?
Anyone who mentions the DEI thing seriously from a stock perspective is not someone to be taking financial advice from 😂
You’re 100% right. The DEI fiasco had nothing to do with the broader trends that have been affecting the retail industry as a whole. People will forget that was even a thing in less than a year.
FIne, but DEI. My personal thing, but people buy the stuff that is sold in places. Target footfall is falling not because of some weird CEO concern about getting stuff tariff-free from China. People literally despise their sucking up to Trump. For every MAGA diehard, you've got three people buying elsewhere. You can have everything on the shelves now Trump has fucked up and shut up, but if no one wants to buy from you, that's zero profits and a lot of stock to pay to store. It's more subtle than the Tesla stuff, but it's a thing and it's a shame that people who invest, via stocks, don't factor in the people factor more.
These guys don’t like DEI but Tesla makes money not from its own cars but by selling tax credits to more successful car companies. Musk slashed billions of dollars from services that regular people need and then complains that Trump’s tariffs are hurting his bottom line. I think we’ve found peak MAGA.
I thought they was a term that we never use to refer to another person. Sounds like Trump is talking in DEI terms. Time to fire him.
I feel the same, but I also feel like there’s a couple items making them more attractive than just the numbers. First is their membership model-keeps cash coming in even if sales were to drop. Second is that they have little competition. I mean, sure, Sam’s Club, but it “seems like” a dostant 2nd though I admit I’ve not doublechecked. Third is their almost cultlike following, myself included. I love Costco, and there’s not that many companies I can say that about. I know if it’s in their store, it’s both a good price and vetted for quality, I’ll likely he happy with it. If I’m not, their refund policy is excellent (or so I heard, never actually needed it.). Essentially, I’m taken care of up front or from behind if needed. They’ve got my back as much as can be reasonably epeted for a multibillion dollar corporation. Related, at least potentially for some, is their stance on DEI. And that stance is unchanged, which regardless of how you feel about that stance is a refreshingly stable one. In short, Costco checks all the boxes for me: a staid, somewhat boring company I use myself, have an overall good feeling about, and promises a certain amount of stability.
🥭 about to speak with Norway PM Let’s play a game! TAKE A SHOT every time he mentions Biden, Ukraine, China, trans, DEI.
The left wing suburban moms are boycotting Target because they dropped DEI programs. That’s why the foot traffic is down, and it’s unlikely to recover. TGT made the same mistake as Tesla: they didn’t understand their customer base.
Most retailers are down (Walmart, Amazon, etc.). I'd say it's more of a reaction to belt tightening by Americans due to tariffs. My guess is many of us pivoted away from the likes of Target and others due to their about-face on DEI, which would explain their gains prior to that but those gains are now leveling out.
He said their pivot away from DEI, not sure what target was doing for DEI I assume it was meaningless posturing.
A lot of folks are. My family has cut out a lot of these companies that either helped Trump get elected or immediately turned heel on DEI stuffs. We’ve cut hundreds in spending from Target, Amazon, etc. and we aren’t even as hard core as many. We are trying.
I was actually referring to the whole rainbow swimwear and clothing they took backlash for but their black business clothing lines failed pretty hard as well. People are downvoting but I feel missing my main point of target is just like any other corporation that will follow the money and front the DEI initiative but then when business is bad they will go back to their roots of targeting house moms from the south.
Target? Blaming tariffs instead of alienating their shoppers by jumping on the anti- DEI boat
White girls were the only group to benefit from DEI programs so this checks out
Imagine having blue hair and holding a $100k student loan bag at 8% interest for a DEI degree
Target is the top of my list. Fuck a fair-weather friend like a corpo who sells Pride merch until they get complaints, and get rid of DEI the second someone threatens them. Cowardly company. Fuck Target.
