So what's the conclusion here?
Does this only effect US companies that target goods or services to EU member populations?
Yes, but the targeting thing is fuzzy.

You either sell physical goods to people/businesses in EU countries, or you don't. That's 100% clear to me. If you do, you most likely have financial related information on them, in which case, it seems likely GDPR applies.
That's what I'm thinking, but I'm not a lawyer and don't think it's up to me to determine which international laws apply to us and which one's don't, including compliance.
All I can do is familiarize myself with it enough so that when the lawyers and Execs do figure it all out, I'll know what I can do to help the business in IT related compliance solutions if or when required.
I do agree that there are other scenarios that aren't so 100% clear as I seen in earlier posts here.

However, I am done trying to explain things to you @scottalanmiller. Nothing personal. I like you as a person, and I respect your perspectives on many things, but how you're handling this conversation is wearing.
Sorry, honestly trying to learn here. I guess there is a lot of information about GDPR that everyone knows that I just don't understand. But where is everyone learning so much about it?
That makes sense though. I found a bunch more information here: https://www.csoonline.com/article/3202771/data-protection/general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr-requirements-deadlines-and-facts.html
But if a company is US based (no physical or registered presence in the EU), can they even do anything about it? I would think not... unless they can somehow stop a U.S. based company from selling products or services there until some kind of fine is paid.

Didn't see that.
But, wow... I'm in complete agreement with SAM's reply to that. Wtf.
