Shareholders have spoken.
These are the only people with a "grievance" if there was any financial hit to Target. And they aren't passive, agent-less victims. You don't like the way your corporation is being run, vote your shares. I haven't been paying attention to this tempest in a teapot, so I don't know if any executive changes have been made.
