No. Generally they’re not. I didn’t drink Bud Light prior to all of this because it was piss water. I didn’t shop at Target prior to all of this because I felt the atmosphere inside the store was a little pretentious, and the prices seemed slightly high. I stopped going to Burger King not because of the Pride Whopper, but because post COVID it seems impossible to find one that’s either open before 8 a.m, or that has more than one employee working there. I liked their coffee, and I liked their has browns when done right. I’ve decided to make my current Ford my last Ford because the cars they put out now don’t interest me. I don’t buy Colt not because they decided to suspend manufacturing their AR-15s for an already saturated market, I don’t give them my business because I can’t find Colts products gun store shelves. I’ve also heard that Colt is kind of difficult to deal with if you’re an FFL. They’ve also stagnated when it comes to new products.
I’m starting to believe that some of what’s going on with these companies isn’t solely them going “woke”, but the woke part is the straw that breaks the camel’s back for a lot of people. Bud Light sucked long before some gay actor decided to pretend to be a “girl”. Bud Light has always been cheap, and prolific. Same with Target, never thought they were good, hated the inside of the store, only shopped there out of necessity, and back in 2012 I was further driven away by news of credit card info being breached at Target; long before the tucking swimsuit. Some of these companies may have just went full retard at the wrong time.

I have also experienced the same thing with the preferred BK I wanted to go to. My preferred branch opened just before Covid so the Covid lockdowns were a kick to the balls. Then when they “opened” it was drive through only. Now, they have decided to no longer open for breakfast or their dining area is open one day and closed the next, back and forth, back and forth.

Possibly depends on what models. My local Cabelas has a Colt King Cobra 3” barrel for $989 out the door. Kentucky Gun Company has them for $899 out the door.
Strange that these companies are driving themselves into the ground, but the execs keep picking up fat salaries.
I suspect the execs are surrounded by butt-kissers, more worried about the next oil change on the jaguar, spending vacations in the Hamptons and hob-nobbing with other rich people... and completely out of touch with their consumers.
Just like Republicans.
Target is pretentious?
Maybe its because I’ve lived so long in San Francisco, but my impression of Target is distinctly declasse. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I am, after all, cheap.
Exactly. I just read an article that said there are no new cars that you can buy now less than $20,000. They are only producing SUVs and electric BS for the profit margins. I have the two cars I’m going to drive to my grave now, a 1999 Toyota Corolla (180,000 miles) and a 2008 Toyota Highlander (240,000 miles).Throw some repairs in here and there and they run great. I’ll pick up an old American truck in a few years produced when American vehicles were great. Unfortunately, I might end up being like Mad Max marauding to find gas in a few years though.
