Texas points the finger at Portland for rampant store closings

[DudleySmith]

Malls closed downtown businesses.

Big box stores put many small business out of business.

Amazon with at home shopping is many brick and mortar store out of business.

Those things are the natural ebb and flow of retailing that adhere to the desites of the consumers.

Big difference between that and stores having to close up because they are getting rob every day because the Democrat leadership is too weak to stop crime.

Chain stores can spread losses around and can drive prices down below costs in targeted areas then jack them up again when they shut down local competition. They aren't 'natural and decrease competition, which of course lowers job creation and wages.

If you don't like chain stores then don't buy anything from them.

Don't bitch about the people that do use them and keep them in business.

If you don't like competition don't bitch about people that do. Not only do chain stores cause more unemployment hey reduce the number of self-employed as well as the skills pool available for workers, which makes for national security issues.

Pointing out the flaws in our antit-trust laws isn't bitching, it's reality. Sucks for ideologues, though.
