Stores are closing at an epic pace

Where does it say it's OK in the rules?

 

Imaging if he started where Bush did and then where Bush ended up...............Trump has been handed an economy recovering steadily. He can only screw it up, BTW 4% growth is not likely nor sustainable for any economy the size of the USA.

 

Bush's fault

 

i consider you one of the most junk posters on this site. the rules on this site allow such conspiracies like info wars to fester.

 

no worries, I don't tolerate it from either side, plenty of opportunities to be critical of our leadership w/o resorting to direct insults and although creative, calling our POTUS Tubby MCFF crossed the line for me.

Ted was a great movie BTW.

 

lmao, well i assure you, posters here have called obama worse names. again standard practice

 

Must be Obama's fault.

 

Clothes will always have a retail market, especially for women. Everyone and every garment is shaped a little different so you have to put them on to know if they fit how you want them to.

Electronics and most other consumer goods are going to be mainly online sales in the near future. You will have some niche stores that will continue to have inventory and provide instant gratification, but the bulk of the retail market will continue to shift more and more online.

 

I wonder if it will fall into the 95/5 scenario, where the vast majority of the public will shop online based on solely price, while the premium/elite 5% of the market will want service, be willing to pay more/not be as price sensitive, and want to shop in retail stores. It is the Walmartization of the retail space, similar to microsoft vs apple, etc.

I went to visit New York City recently and it seemed that long stretches of avenues had lots of vacant storefronts. It seems to affecting retail everywhere, and what was once a profitable enterprise: owning commercial real estate/storefront property may no longer be so.

 

If the Left actually cared about the environment they'd NEVER be for illegals who use more water, require more land turned over from nature to tract homes, require more industrial farming processes using more pesticides/chemicals, more animals kept in factory pens, etc.

But if you mention that to a liberal - they will just stand there confounded as their Dear Leadership at the NYT/MSNBC have not yet provided direction how to respond when such a fundamental, inherent contradiction of two of their sacred pets is pointed out.

They'll probably use their standard "old faithful": "You're a RACIST!" Its like a magic substance that they believe they can apply in any circumstance where they have no argument/debate point.

 

albeit your post is off topic and naturally naive, an fyi, those online stores, their web applications, hosted on web servers, running on servers, require electricity.

 

So is that like the Luddites that cannot see why coal miners are loosing their jobs to automation and table top mining and not underground. But the teabagging right blame progressives and their policies for the trouble in the coal industry.
This has to work both ways.

 

WOW! This is quite a stretch to blame one ethnic group or a few ethnic groups for the environmental problems in the USA.
Take some advice and travel a bit and check out some environmental catastrophes around the the USA and check out the reasons why they are in the state they are in. Then report back to us.
Or is it to easy for you to make the futile statement you made.

 

I work at a corporate of a major retailer, and were doing great. We've spent the last two years upgrading our website and online ordering process.

It's the stores that haven't made that commitment to the digital age (like Sears) that are failing.

 

Which is the fault of the CEO's and their top decision making group.

 

Does it take an absolute genius to understand: more people = more resources used?

More people living in the US means more housing needs to be built, more water used, etc. Undeveloped land in the US is rapidly shrinking, and fresh water is a finite resource as well.

I was not referring to environmental disasters like the exxon valdez, so next time read the post more carefully and think for yourself before attacking someone without understanding what they wrote.

 

Oh, I read the post. You on the other hand didn't understand my stance.
Go to where the coal mining industry piles their waste, where gold mining, copper mining etc. pile their waste.
It is a simple click on some internet sites.
Blaming people for their wasteful ways is a minute part of the problem.

 

Several centralized modern locations instead of being spread all over the place in older inefficiently insulated locations.

 

You are spot on.

 

Perhaps you should look up the damage done to the environment for each person living in the US for the next 50 years, between water used, pollution created, garbage put into landfills, etc., then multiply that times 35 MM + illegals. Their trash alone would dwarf the coal industry, which is vanishing anyway.

 

Snapchat and Instagram is where "cool kids" meet. They don't even have to get off the couch to do so. (it's part of the reason why fewer teens are getting driver's licenses (that and the high cost of auto insurance)).

 

And they are being replaced by other china slinging corporations......

 

As others have stated, this has more to do with online sale gobbling up Brick N' Mortar then anything else.

 

Typical ideology from a democrat.

 

wrong, each company will host or rent host space. you cannot dictate implementation from the start
