The old large retailers had costumers that had well paying jobs. Those jobs didn't disappear. They were shipped to Red China. Do you think retailers in China are hurting? 
Yes....I agree with most you posted. These “old time” large retailers are all going to go away. If you think about it, this began with that old company Montgomery Ward in the early 70’s.
Like the buggy whip, I guess.
I wonder when Kohl’s will fall apart. I’ve never understood that store.

The only reason I shop at Kohl’s - about once a month I get a coupon in the mail for $10 off any purchase. They have some okay tee shirts that are $8.00 or shorts for $10-$12 each so I use that to build up my stock at little cost to me. They must generate enough income from people who spend more than that because they keep doing it. Our local one is a rather strange store though.
