Maybe it’s because people avoid shopping at Target because everybody brings their pet dogs in there all the time. It’s disgusting

I pulled back my spending at Target because they do not have employees at the registers to take my money..

Isn’t curbing consumer demand exactly the symptoms that the Fed wants to see as it has continued to push interests rates up? Dampened consumer demand should be reflected in an even lower inflation rate for November. And if this results, Wall Street will be very happy. Let’s see.

I have been seeing good results about her everywhere and a lot of people keep saying to reach out to her. I eventually did and it turns out profitable. If you aren't following massangill you should be. I have added massively to my holdings.
