JCP , best buy, Radio shack.
(In the comments at the link)Same old usual suspects complaining about jobs going over seas; seventy five percent of which would not work in a factory anyway. It sure is a shame there’s not enough manufacturing to enable those mentioned to push paper with their worthless college education.
No surprise to see Sears on that list.....been going downhill for years. I worked for them for nine years. They sorta turned it around in the mid-90s, but it was clearly too little, too late.
Then, there's the increasingly hostile bands of roving yutes inside, behaving territorially.
Maybe this is not the case in other parts of the country, but the era of the enclosed megamall seems to be drawing to a close, here. The flush of success and the crowds are in the “town center” style retail complexes. Park nearby, exterior ingress and egress, no bands of roving yutes behaving territorially.
All in all, it's a more pleasant experience, even considering the vagaries of weather.
“The business of America is business.”
In a nation of poorly educated, greedy, self-absorbed and self-serving citizens, Democracy loses some of its charm.
You voted to re-elect a president and party that clearly opposes the private sector and villifies it on a daily basis. This is the fruit. Hard to feel sorry for you, America.
For 40 of my 61 years, “going to the mall” ranked below “getting a root canal” on my Bottom 10 list.
Luckily my wife and kids buy my shirts, sweaters, socks, underwear and jackets. I make an annual trip (generally against my will) for new slacks and shoes.
Almost everything else (except groceries) is a click away on Amazon with flat-rate, unlimited annual shipping for $70 (and they toss in streaming video for free, too!).
I wonder about Amazon. Now that it is starting to collect taxes for some states, how long before it is for all states, and likely some BS federal Internet sales tax.
