1. Interesting it is in the deep red states that voted for the orange maniac

The two closing in California are red areas of the state.

What are Cheeto supporters going to do when they lose their jobs, healthcare and the safety nets are limited in those states because the rethugs state governments made it harder for them? Most of these states are running on deficits and lower tax revenues with the broken ideology of tax cuts for the rich helps everyone. There will be an even deeper ripple in these areas losing those stores.

And they can't blame Obama for this !

3. Thousands of retail stores are laying off workers yet coal is the one that IT cares about!

Due to technology and changing shopping habits this will continue. Everybody understands this realistic situation. However, coal has been dying since the 1920's and that industry is the only one that gets the poor Repub base angered! Nothing about his base is based on reality.

4. Make America Great Again eh?

So much for that line of sh*t.

As stores close, where do the consumers go that do not shop online?

There are many reasons not to shop online and some people flat out refuse to do it.

In my day, nothing was more fun that to "go shopping". There were many stores at that time and I'd spend an entire Saturday shopping (even though I had no great sums of $ to spend).

SAD isn't it?

5. I hate shopping on line 100% but that is so -called progress for you.

Make America Great Again was Reagan's campiagn motto too. He destroyed the reamainder of the economy and the unions his first two years in office...one hell of a guy!

6. Raygun was a rat IMO

Straight out of Hollywood Hell!

I am in a Union and though retired, I still voluntarily pay dues. They just sent me a newsletter telling me that my health insurance for 2018 is set in stone thanks to the contract they signed 2-years ago.

Not all Unions are gone but if these freaks have their way, they will be.

The one I am in is a large Union having 150,000+ members in it. We are are hard batch of nuts to crack, believe me and with people continuing to pay dues into retirement, it only does one thing and that is to strengthen and preserve what is left.

I come from a family of strong Union members. In fact, my grandfather was one of the first Teamsters in America!

UNION YES.

7. So was my grandfather-teamsters. My dad was with Ma Bell (AT&T).

When I was a kid my sister and me walked the picket line with him during a summer strike. I got my job as a teacher since I refused to cross the line as a substitute and they remembered that when it was hiring time. I tried to start one at Macy's during my break and got into big trouble. As a teacher I was at every rally and got my picture in the paper and was harassed for the rest of my career. None of the younger teachers ever went to protest rallies. My experience doing that has come in handy with all the anti-loser marches I've attended(8 so far).
