Not to slight the Baraqqi Depression, but traditional dept stores and malls in general are dying.
I suspect you’ll see Democrat programs to convert malls into Section 8 housing.
or you’ll see ObamaMacy cards whereby the beneficiary gets free clothes at Macy’s
The ghettofication has been going on for a while already. How many malls have closed or are barely hanging on because they were given over to feral packs? Shoppers flee before they bleed.
“I suspect you’ll see Democrat programs to convert malls into Section 8 housing.” actually you are not far off. Here in Austin Texas the local community college is converting a run down mall into a college campus.
I’ve seen several turned into schools, whether college campuses or private schools. But people now prefer to go into only the stores they want or buy online, not wander past dozens of stores to hit one they are interested in.
