Looks like the hypothesis that the COVID-19 pandemic will likely accelerate the ongoing retail apocalypse might well prove to be correct:
The article notes that the only stores bucking this trend are “dollar”-type stores…they’re expanding, which also points (at least to me) to a further rapid deterioration of the American middle class.
I have seen a lot of shops close to be replaced by cheap resale shops that offer remaindered crap that nobody needs and only seem to serve as a money laundering front…
