Macy’s Closing 68 Stores, cutting 10,000 Jobs. Thanks Trump

Macy's stores are in malls. Rampaging gangs have made malls dangerous. People now order on line.

People order online because they think they are getting a deal.

If you think online prices are cheaper than offline, think again

Then, with so many Americans working more than one job many don't have the time.


I notice Amazon wasn't part of the study.

When you live 45 miles one way from the closest mall, or specialty store, you must figure in time and fuel costs...plus, honest to God, on the stuff I would go to the city to buy, I get the same product, or close enough, on Amazon for at least half price savings.

Since 80% of the population of the US live within 200 miles of water, your analogy fits for only a small percentage of consumers.

Sorry to blow the rest of your diatribe.....what did you do before Amazon et al?

Did without while making a list and drove to Springfield when the list got long enough or the need became dire enough to warrant the trip.

Unless retailers are floating your merchandise up to two hundred miles away living 200 miles from water has little bearing on this discussion. Living 200 miles from the coast does not preclude in any way living an hour from the mall.

I guess if he’s getting credit for everything good that happens in our economy, he should logically get blame for everything bad. Right?

Nope...gotta blame Dubya. :D

Nobody ever accused the left of posting logical arguments on a good day. I guess they are especially crazy these days
 
So I guess the moral of the story is that Trump supporters will give him credit for positive things but no blame for negative outcomes while Obama gets only the blame and none of the credit.

Pretty much the case?

It's too bad our resident umpire isn't here to make his famous "bullshit call"....gee; wonder why?????

:dunno:

One more time:

You can blame or credit anybody you desire provided you show how their participation helped in the end results. If you don't have such evidence, you can't blame or credit anybody just because they happened to be there.


According to the Ford CEO of the time, the GM bailout saved the US auto industry because suppliers of components would have went bankrupt thus effecting the entire industry.

"Mulally, Dec. 5, 2008: In particular, the collapse of one or both of our domestic competitors would threaten Ford because we have 80 percent overlap in supplier networks and nearly 25 percent of Ford’s top dealers also own GM and Chrysler franchises"

So Any expansion Ford is making should be credited to Obama. Right? Right. Thanks for clearing that up.



Now move those goalposts.

Right. What DumBama did seven years ago has something to do with what's happening today.

And no, if there was no bailout, the companies would have to file for bankruptcy and a court would have determined what they needed to do. They would have survived just fine. Even if they didn't and had to close down, it would have benefited their competitors since people would not stop buying cars just because one company doesn't make them anymore.

But as I stated, if you are to credit somebody with failure or success, you have to provide evidence of their participation for the results:

"Ford CEO Mark Fields said the investment is a "vote of confidence" in the pro-business environment being created by Donald Trump. However, he stressed Ford did not do any sort of special deal with the president-elect."

Ford cancels Mexico plant, will create 700 U.S. jobs in ‘vote of confidence’ in Trump

Too damn funny.
What the CEO said positive about Obama's means zilch.
What the CEO said positive about Trump's doing zilch means everything.

This is why you guys get tagged with being racist... that is the only thing it can be at this point.

Yes, that must be it. It can't be disagreement. It can't be objection to policies. It can't be the debt. It can't be Commie Care or the multiple terrorist attacks in this country.

It must be racism.

It's Barrys economy that's fucked everything up… fact

Ford announced they are expanding their plant.
Only because the lessening of regulations, frivolous environmental and labor laws... in the new administration

The thing is they ask for proof of our claims all the time. When you provide them clear-cut hard evidence, they refuse to believe it.

But Russia hacked our elections? They are all over that like flies on crap.
 
Lets have a think...
Does this action by Macys really have anything to do with Obama or Trump?
Nope... Macys have to change there business model due to changing conditions...

The same could be said for the jobs Trump is trying to take credit for... They have nothing to do with him being President or not... It is just companies trying to get on the good side of a guy in the Oval Office for the next 4 years who needs his ego boosted on a daily basis...

Given the fact DumBama has been the most anti-business President in our lifetime, I think most businesses are relieved that he's finally going away. They are encouraged that a business man is now taking over the presidency because unlike DumBama, he actually knows something about business.

So Macy's expressed its relief by closing 60 stores? lol
 
Not really. He is getting credit because of the admittance from the companies he had something to do with it.
Macy's problems are a result of failure.

You never miss an opportunity to sling some shit.
Come on dude. They are giving him credit. The actual companies.
What do get out of fear from the truth?

How do you know it's the truth?
Because your fake news isn't reporting it...

Macy's closing their doors.

It happens to be one of her favorite shopping stops.

She knows everyone by name.

Oops. Fail.
