IF it was happening by any natural process liquidators like Big Lots would be the last to go not the first. They'd be selling off the goods of all the other closures. The drug stores closing is concerning because they are driving people directly to Amazon's online clinic services. More centralization=more control over which drugs you are allowed to have.
Good point! You notice it was the onset of the Covid lock-downs that sparked these declining stores. How evil is this Global Cabal system! As Q posts, was this part of the 16 yr plan to destroy America? To compress and centralize for more control over the populaces?
Oh yes it's part of the plan. They have had the details figured out for decades. Remember which stores were following all of the Covid measures IMMEDIATELY? Within hours had their arrows on the floors and plexiglass set up with every rule in place? Which of these stores closing have been analyzed for percent of their inventory being goods of Chinese origin? They mention impacts on cities but I am sitting here in a small town and also seeing HUGE impact when there are no longer any choices of where to shop.
I think their problem is the furniture. It doesn't sell that much, but takes up a lot of floor space. Ollie's has more of the smaller stuff, but our local one is in an out of the way old shopping area that doesn't have the big stores to draw in traffic, such as the former Walmart and Food Lion. Both of those are still empty many years later, except that Harbor Freight is using part of the old Walmart. There's also a Dollar Tree and the UPS store.
Big Lots seems to me to be more like a dollar store these days than a resale outlet. They've changed a lot since they were Pic and Save, then McFrugals, then Big Lots. Every change had more stable stock and less weird stuff. That's not how resale outlets work, it's here today and gone forever tomorrow.

All of this is playing right into Bezo's hands. He's already cornered everything. Its just a matter of shutting others down completely.
