Bump for tomorrow. There is a lot of B.S. in this piece.
“TEC” stands for “The Economic Collapse” … this creative writing project is meant to sell the idea …….
There sure is. Pointing to the loss of dinosaur anchor stores like JC Penny as evidence of a depression, completely ignores the rise of online shopping and big box stores that do it better (Walmart).
There is a lot of B.S. in this piece.

A whole lot of BS but, there is some truth too.
The store closings are total BS, yes they are closing because Amazon has free shipping and lower prices. I’m not praising Amazon, I like stores but, The gas, wear and tear on the car and time cost a lot more than the $99 a year for Prime.
I don’t want to see the stores go but the money not being spent in the stores is still being spent. There are a lot of people not working because they make money outside of taxes. Tax takes close to 50% of our earnings. We have Property, excise, sales, income, SSI, FICA and other taxes that added up really bite hard. It is no wonder that people that can make money outside of a W-2 do it. If you do a job for $1000 on the side it is the equivalent of $2000 if you don’t have to pay any tax on the money. That is why illegals are willing to work for so little, they won’t be paying any tax on it.
If we got rid of all the illegals we wouldn’t have unemployment.
