Is it time to bail out brick and mortar stores too? Surely that's the right thing to

>>12761542
Those stores are closing because people have more money now and don't have to buy peasant shit. This is great news. You BTFO of yourself.

>>12761542
They're closing because they sell shitty shoes that fall apart in a few months, haven't updated the look of their store since the 90s, and are usually competing with like 10 other shoes stores in any given mall.

>the president of the USA is responsible for the structural death of physical retail and no-name-brand merchandise in the face of 21st century materialism

seems legit.

payless has been going out of business for decades. not really a trump phenomenon

>Trumps wonderful economy
I recently got a job making $120k/year, so yes I agree

>>12761563
Stop trying to spin this as good, trump is destructive on all counts

>outdated stores
>oudated fashion
>Shitty quality
People are literally dumpingw hundreds and thousands into the fucking sneaker hype paradigm.

Capitalism is wonderful, isn't it? And besides that, everyone working in the Branche is lost anyway in the next few years.

Look at all the trump supporters not willing to accept they were wrong, overall retail sales have dropped, trump is a failure

>>12761581
my taxes went down $15,000, feels good doesn't it?

>thinking physical retail sales = status of the economy
How retarded are you? Or do you live under a rock and have no idea what Amazon is?

>>12761542
Yes Amazon is killing a lot of brick and mortar stores. I'm most happy that Gamestop is being killed to death by them and pretty much every other digital retailer.

>>12761625
Hey if trump manages to build the wall with this emergency declaration, then all the shoe stores in America can close for all i care

>>12761542
Stick to:
>Why are houses expensive?
>Why are bosses mean?
if you want to get any lefty traction on /biz/. Most people here have at least a cursory awareness of what the new jobs reports and consumer confidence index look like presently, and your great aunt's discount shoe store restructuring isn't going to impact the general sentiment here.

>>12761645
This. My taxes went down quite a lot thanks to Trump's tax cuts; so I'm really happy about that
>>12761542
Some retail stores closing has nothing to do with the economy you absolute brainlet. Zoom out, or are you incapable of doing so?

Really its one thing for disagree about things and try to talk about the disagreements. But at this point it is just pure propaganda and completely misrepresenting both themselves and the other side because the reality of the situation is untenable.

You jews deserve far worse than the oven. Shame all you are going to get is a bullet.

>>12761645
But cnn told me different

Trump is the biggest boomer of them all and even he cant save these shitty boomer businesses that should've cashed out a long time ago

>>12761917
>Implying liberals buy index funds

>>12761542
This is almost as bad a prospect for the economy as a bunch of pawnshops closing down.

My guess is their cancerous shoes were made in China and are now tarriffed so that they only make a 500% profit instead of a 1000%, so the company owners are redirecting their capital elsewhere.

>>12762329
>they should have cashed out long time ago.

So its not Trumps fault good glad we got that cleared up now kys.

I find it really hard to believe workers wages our flat when there have been multiple big corporations giving out bonuses and wage increases since the corporate tax cut. Not to mention the minimum wage has gone up or is set to go up in a lot of states since last election.

>>12761542
Trump is unironically destroying all of our futures. Unless your a white supremacist, in which case it will be somewhat cool for you - on an emotional level. But economically you will get JUSTED since your poor. Unless your not, then DAMN... im jelly

>>12762711
Don’t forget. Trump called out amazon on this exact thing and the left came out of the woodwork to defend amazon.

>>12761542
why is trump to blame for this? they make cheap shitty made in china shoes that no one wants to buy. end of story

>>12761583
People are buying more of their goods online. How does this have anything to do with the President? The only brick and mortar stores that will survive are the ones that are service based or the ones dealing in higher quality stuff.

only autists and ugly chicks bought shoes from payless
