    That’s my mistake, and a significant misquote. I’m sorry. That said, just because I disagree with your argument about Costco being an equal alternative, that doesn’t mean I’m defending Target’s DEI rollback, or defending Target as a company. I’m actually writing this from the Costco parking lot, but Costco isn’t accessible for some people because of transportation, mobility, or dietary needs.
