Lots of companies are washing white guilt off their backs and letting it swirl down the drain...

That's what's causeing these stores to close

This is an extension of the Bud Light movement. It's a side effect of the death of DEI - the whole WOKE evil is falling apart.

So my guess is these stores, like so many across the country are being closed in 'communities that have abused the privilege of having stores close by.

If businesses are treated as places to rob and burn down, the store will leave. And without guilt. WOKE guilt has died. It's over. Communities earn the right to have nice stores based on merit - on how the community treats the stores.

I think you’re right, I wonder if this is just the beginning of the economy really slowing down, consumer debt is off the charts, sooner or later that debt will eat into disposable income and the economy as a whole will crater.

When CVS closed outlets in black(er) parts of Boston, Elizabeth Warren mounted her high horse and accused them of “redlining”. Rhode Island based CVS just doesn’t want to lose money.

I wish that were true. Here in the blue part of Ohio, woke is the dominant religion.
