" a primary reason for the closings is over exhuberant expansion."

There's a nearby shopping mall, which has been dying for years. Now it's a depressing place that's about half occupied. Last year a huge construction project stared a few blocks away. It's a new mall.

Ahh, I hadn’t thought about KFC until you mentioned. The local KFC also shut down a couple of months ago.

On the Ross Ghetto Store carts, they have that pole also so you can’t get them out of the store, they hit a barrier (the homeless love shopping carts).

I suppose what will happen is similar to what the airlines have gotten away with:...closing stores( reducing flights) and thereby, making fewer stores ( fewer flights) fill the needs of all the people....

they can increase prices due to shortages and demand on the fewer goods available....their personal can treat the consumers like dirt similar to how the airlines treat common passengers....they can provide fewer amenities, fewer discounts, and can add plenty of add ons....

Wow that brings back memories. My parents took us kids to the Sears in Dallas at Christmas time. I think in ‘65. My dad couldn’t pass up the popcorn counter. We Christmas shopped in one trip usually on a Saturday night. We lived in Richardson at the time and there was some rural land between Dallas and our apartment.

Take a look at Zero Hedge’s tag line.
On a long enough timeline the life expectancy for everyone drops to zero. Or “Were all gonna die!!”.
Yeah they are a downer, but it does detail a lot of the destruction going on that the Party’s media ignores.
