America's "National Pastime" throughout most of my life wasn't baseball or NASCAR or anything close
it was #SHOPPING
and yes, I realize people still buy things (online -- how fuckn boring) . . . but since shopping was our major daily activity for most of us -- and also cheap entertainment, too
the fact that stores are going out of business is not just a financial loss to those who worked in the stores
it is ALSO a financial loss to all the businesses that serviced the tourist industry components of shopping that went along with it
making everything now all about Amazon and a few big online retailers changes the economy in a much more dramatic fashion (#irony) than you might, initially, think
