The rights method means the company is drained slowly and gives time for those that only work there a chance to bail and find new work while the company doesn't realise how bad the situation is before it's too late

The left's method is like dropping fireworks into someone's bedroom, it's loud, flashy and means people can't escape the company because everyone is now watching them not knowing what caused it

I would argue that the "right's method" also doesn't take into account the ESG money propping these companies up as they shit all over their customers.

Think that's coming close to running out as writings on the wall, Disney is failing, BLM is going bankrupt, huge layoffs in the tech industry.

I think the golden goose is finally running dry.

Good thing the dollar is held up by oil and the Middle East aren't accepting other currencies to trade with..

I mean, on the hand though, the Dollar is still one of the more stable currencies in the world right now in terms of inflation (even if it is on the grounds of "everyone else is worse" rather than "we are better"). And while the Middle East is technically accepting trades in Yuan, most people dont because the dirty little secret is the Chinese place a ton of restrictions on how you can use Yuan that make it obnoxious and impractical to use for trade compared to Dollars. Which is why you typically only see one deal or two and then the trade goes back to Dollars.

Your overall point about ESG running out is true though. Companies were more than willing to cover their losses with ESG loans when the interest rate was 0%. But now that they actually have to pay interest, the ones who have loans are scrambling to figure out how to cover the cost and other companies just arent bothering in the first place.

It is a lot like how the Hollywood studios who cheaped out on writers (coughDisneycough) are now starting to suffer the consequences of that action where a ton of their movies are bombing and they are losing money hand over fist, while those who actually put effort into good writing and stories are seeing billion dollar movies.

The right's method is far more structurally damaging, while the Left's is a more tactical attack.

The Left is going to cause people some immediate damage, but they'll move on to their next issue soon. For the most part, your objective is to counter their tactic and let them memory hole themselves

The Right's issue is far more dangerous. Thousands of people just don't say anything. They pull their money, and they don't say a word, so you can't even study the problem and come up with a solution to appease the customers.

Those surveys you fill out, where you rant and rave about how bad your service was? Those are actually important and actually read. There is nothing more terrifying to a company than losing vast sums of money and literally no one will tell you why. It causes panic, and serious structural damage if they can't figure out how to stop the bleeding.

Considering the structural control the left has while the right has control of the raw resources and manufacturing while the left dominates the services industry, the divergence of tactics make sense.

As the right can easily rebuild while the left would lose EVERYTHING if the right gets enough people to do this for long enough.

Since they are operating from a basis of power acquisition, they literally can't build. That is the winning strategy. The Left are naturally suicidal and self-destructive, and need conquest to survive. That's why containment is actually a good strategy. They implode if they can't expand. Which is why everyone else has to build out of the Leftist catastrophe.

In an ideal world where Marketing wasn't entirely compromised, they would be able to figure it out. That's literally their job. Unfortunately as Gizortnik has pointed out several times, they are entirely compromised.

losing vast sums of money and literally no one will tell you why

Stop hiring Ivy League graduates.

No, they aren't. They're used to provide "metrics" so they know who's going on the layoff list.

Besides, no one should be filling out surveys with any honesty anyway. Pollute their results with made-up answers. Make those Public Relations fucks actually work for their money.

Leftists have no money so they can't boycott any more than usual.

Also lasts about 3-5 seconds. Target just needs one virtue tweet to get them all back

No-one at Target is going to lose a paycheck because of that, innocent employees can get out just the same either way.

This isn't some moral highground. One is more pro-active and more damaging to their bottom line and the other is just easier.

What has Target supposedly done to piss of the perpetually offended?

EDIT: Looks like they pulled some pride month clothing due to backlash.

"Target declined to specify Wednesday which items it was removing but among the ones that garnered the most attention were “tuck friendly” women’s swimsuits that allow trans women who have not had gender-affirming operations to conceal their private parts. Designs by Abprallen, a London-based company that designs and sells occult- and satanic-themed LGBTQ+ clothing and accessories, have also created backlash."

It's amazing just how many of these freaks see the supposedly negative descriptions of them, and then decide of their own free will to embody that kind of twisted fuck as much as possible. Almost like it isn't a negative description, and just an outright description.

Burn a Target store down: “They have insurance, they’ll be fine.”

Buy stuff from Target and return it: “This will destroy them.”

Except she isn't going to be able to return it, because she doesn't have a valid reason, and the loss of funds will cause her to die of funko pop withdrawl.

Most big corps don't require a reason and give full refunds. Abuse of the refund system will just result in them changing their policy to charge a restocking fee like a lot of smaller companies already do.

Costco used to let you return anything at any time no questions asked, and people abused it by taking in their 2-year-old TV to get a refund and buy the newest model for the same exact amount. Now you only have a month or something to return electronics.

I hadn't heard of this. Are you in the US?

People still openly brag about abusing the return policy here in Leafland.

Yes, the US.

Apparently the 90 day return policy was in effect at least as far back as 2012: https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/is-costcos-90-day-tv-return-policy-no-questions-asked.2228595/

Wasn't there an anime that jerks like this did to its production company, ordering tons of DVDs and then cancelling the order last-minute, leaving them with tons of unsellable discs they manufactured and no one to sell them to?

I think it was called Flowers of Evil.

I would've required an enforceable contract with a nonrefundable deposit if someone were to buy that much shit that it would seriously affect my bottom line if they were to flake.

I imagine you just pick doesn't fit for the clothing and not as described or pictured for yourself.

Damaged upon arrival to earth, mental quality not as expected, and a few years from now changed mind, but it arrived late.
