  • I mean I literally mentioned that in my comment? It's not necessarily about the shrinkage but it's about where the shrinkage is located that could be a problem since we don't have that data as it's not published you cannot make that statement that it hasn't impacted them and the lack of adequate comparison of size of the locations to other locations in the area doesn't really make sense.

    The Seattle Times noted that the stores that are closing "are relatively new, opening in 2019 as part of a push by Target to shore up its bottom line by opening smaller, more profitable stores in urban areas."

    They don't tell you how much smaller they are relatively so you can't get an estimate of how much more the thefts would impact them even though they tell you as such. E.g. they say the Northgate store has 172 thefts reported but how much bigger was it? If it's 2 times bigger then it's about the same amount of thefts as University Districts (87 thefts) and what not?

    As well as the fact that they don't give you an estimation of the profit margins of the actual stores (This means that an average of $1.57 in inventory was lost for every $100 in sales) but how much does this 1.57 effect the profit margins of the store? (Net profit margin being 3% so a shop having doubled theft in shrinkage compared with profit would halve the stores profit 3 times or more would likely make the store unprofitable).

  • So the article went into Shrinkage but it didn't go into the shrinkage data for the stores in question (probably doesn't exist publicly) nor did it go into any other information on the shops relative sizing or anything else even though it mentioned they were likely smaller than the ones that didn't close... What an annoying article it's almost as bad as believing the original target statement at face value.

  • God I hope the actual article tells me why it was extraordinary and why the SEC are looking into this...

    Oh good it does: The investigation, which escalates a long-running feud between the SEC and Musk, concerns whether Musk broke federal securities laws in 2022 when he bought stock in Twitter,

    Howard Fischer, a partner at law firm Moses & Singer and a former SEC official, said Musk's refusal to appear at the September testimony was extraordinary. "I have never heard of a senior executive who has positions at public companies ever not showing up."

  • Why would they even do that T_T.

  • Thanks leftists for collecting all the right wing memes so I can get them all in one place.

  • LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DOWN WITH PREDICTIONS!

  • I very much doubt their house even has windows so this seems incredibly untrue.

  • Seems like from reading this the answer is if there is it's popped mostly and if there isn't then things will continue on as is maybe getting slightly worse.

  • The only issue I can see is why are you sending the password to the person in the email at all just seems redundant... I think I may have run into a tree though.

  • “They say that there’s so much water up north, that I wanna have the overflow areas go into your forests and dampen your forests,” Trump said. “Because if you dampen your forest, you’re not gonna have these fire forest fires that are burning at levels that nobody’s ever seen before.”

    Absolute dumbass shit.

    ‘You have very poor land management,” he continued before recalling a conversation he had with an Austrian official about forest fires in that country. “He said, ‘Sir, we have more flammable trees than you do on your coast. We don’t have forest fires. We have land management.’ They take care of the land. They pick up the dead trees. You know, a tree doesn’t burn very easily unless it’s dead. Then it gets dry and it burns. The leaves on the ground – they’re five feet thick over here.”

    Stuff that might be true (I'm never going to look into this) but isn't funny. Goddamn Trump sending mixed signals here.

  • Did they even try to get a comment from Cmdr. Michael Lyle cause the article doesn't even say...
