We have watched our local drug store being Obamunated the last few weeks. It’s being downsized by its new national owner. Half of the stuff has disappeared off the shelves, items supposedly for sale are nowhere to be found, a lot of the shelves only have two items each and are not being restocked.
Looks like something out of the former Soviet Union. The parking lot today was empty whereas it used to be on Sundays (sale day) the place was packed. We walked around a little looking for things and then my wife said, this is too depressing, and we left.
It’s sad. The country is being killed off by Obama and his policies, the economic depression is getting worse and worse, and no one will even admit what is happening.
Zero’s not helping matters, true, but it’s the big boxes that are destroying Mom and Pop. Even pre 2008, indy hardware stores, pet stores and pharmacies were becoming tough to find.
You’re right; it is getting worse, and for buying anything we’ll be going to Wal-Mart because it will be the last place left - the giant bodega.
The mall near me has a tattoo parlor, and more and more of it is dedicated to food; most Americans are reduced to buying cheap garbage from Red China, and those businesses built around catering to Americans with spending money are going the way of the dodo. They are getting a short stay of execution selling to childless young & middle-aged people fortunate enough to be working, but that is very temporary; in a few years they will “attrite out” and are being replaced by foreigners who don’t p!ss away money for labels.
What we may need is a President who is very, very good at marketing to lead the country.
Wait! What?
