paladin4ever Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 It’s what happens in a market based system. No worries, new retailers pop up all the time. Some succeed, some don’t. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new fool probably couldn't understand how the saddle and buggy whip industries went into decline when this thing called the "automobile" appeared on the scene. Stupidity should be painful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not frame my answer they way you did above, as it does nothing for the quality of the debate. I don't think denigrating others encourages debate. (I confess I am sometime guilty of this weakness.) However, I do totally agree that expanded Internet sales account for a large percentage of the brick and mortar closings. The wider debate we should be having is whether the demise of one and the rise of the other affects us on a macro basis positively or negatively. To cite your reference to the demise of the horse and buggy industries, this worked out well from a macro standpoint as automobiles were far more efficient and generated more, better paying jobs than the horse and buggy industry, thus expanding national wealth and broadening the middle class. The question as to whether the replacement of brick and mortar with Internet sales is a net benefit or detriment to the overall level of economic activity is an open one to be answered with analyses over the passage of time. Regardless, this past Christmas/Holiday shopping season seems to have been a relatively positive one and is one reason the stock market has remained strong through the first week of the new year.

Folsom is not looking for debate. He is a troll. His answers to fact-based arguments typically range from "wrong" or "fake news" (no refuting facts provided, of course) to "California is great and wherever you live sucks". Since he joined the site shortly before Christmas, he's been spraying his ignorance and mental diarrhea all over the site to the tune of about 60 posts PER DAY. I've put him on ignore. Quality control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that would make such a statement about any foreign country, interfering in the internal affairs and governance of the USA is either ignorant, stupid or is not patriotic. It is ironic that Russia (the Soviet Union back then), was hated more by the right than the left in the Cold War era. But how soon we forget. It's as if Trumpism has erased all memories. At the end of the day, I don't support foreign intervention in the affairs/government of any country unless there is the imminent threat of war with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
