US Retail Bloodbath: More Than 2,600 Store Closings Have Been Announced So Far In 2024
Unfortunately, most Americans still don’t understand the fundamental transformation that is happening to our society and they still believe that our leaders will be able to return things to “normal” eventually.
Retail stores are being shut down at a staggering rate all over the country. Everywhere around us, “space available” signs are going up on buildings that were once considered to be prime commercial real estate. f someone tries to convince you that the U.S. economy is in good shape, just show them this article and ask them why so many once prosperous businesses are closing. Needless to say, they will not be able to win the argument after that.
At some point the one percenters will learn that when the rest of us are left behind the undergirding of the house of cards they have built will have been left behind too.

Not to mention, local stores never have what you want in stock if they carry it at all.
