Just saw this. They are closing 9 stores due to rampant theft. Have been reading more about this lately, scary trend. Got to wonder where this all is going. Is this a precursor of things to come?

Heard Elon Musk is comparing it to late stage Roman Empire. Interesting analogy, is there something to it or is it way off base? Interesting and troubling situation no matter what it means

Store owners are finally waking up.
In Chicago 30% of the stores on Michigan Ave. or as they say the mag mile are empty..

Couldn't happen to a better corporation! Wish they would close completely. They were the start of the WOKE corporations.

That's another thing one wonders, does this somehow tie in to thier policy's and targeted customer base somehow? Perhaps it's locational, does it reflect the whole anti police thing? Or, perhaps ita a smoke screen trying to hide pushback loss of sales from thier Woke policies. Hmmmm Lots to ponder , conspiracy, political, or just more crime... something for everyone...

Target and other stores are finally saying they are closing due to theft and violence instead of just saying they are under performing.

Read up on the fall of the Roman Empire. He's just about spot on.

I'm sorry, you did ask if there was something to what he was saying. That's what I was responding to

Asking others opinions, not interested in my own, sorry if it was confusing.

Theft may be the primary factor, but target executives got woke and thought selling transgender items would increase sales. It didn't work that way.
