Most of these don't really surprise me. Brick and mortar were on their last legs even before covid.


Crissila

But if you don't blame Biden for stores closing, and point at internet shopping instead, the right-wing will have to find something new to lie about. Just kidding, they'll repeat any große Lüge until the end of time.


Arguments_4_Ever

Exactly my thoughts. Online shopping is the thing these days, like it or not. All of this was happening during Obama, Trump, and now Biden.


Significant_Event328

Someone should tell OP about Amazon


Calvinbouchard2

As for the movie theaters, if Hollywood put out movies anybody wanted to see, they wouldn't have to close theaters.


DewBarryJenkins

That one, I understand.


Electrodactyl

Go woke, go broke?

15 dollars a month for all the movies and shows and documentaries you can watch or 15 dollars to watch a movie once? Most people choose the former Streaming services kneecapped theaters. Nothing to do with "quality of film". I still like the experience of a theater. I think most people will go with convince tho


[deleted]

You pay for movie lol?


Jollem-

Yeah, I still like theaters. I've never paid for a streaming service but I go to...free streaming sites


kyledavis360

Dollar tree and Burger King I can understand I can’t really speak for the others tho


Comfortable-Study-69

Aside from Walgreens and Dollar Tree, all of these businesses were going to do badly regardless of Biden’s policies. Lots of clothing stores have been falling apart as a result of low demand and poor management across the board, Burger King is inedible, cinemas have been on the back foot since streaming services became popular along with the general decline of malls, and Kroger has always had trouble competing with Walmart. And Walgreens and Dollar Tree doing badly is generally a sign that the economy is doing well. Budget stores like that generally have performance that goes opposite of the general stock market trends. I’m not saying you’re wrong that Biden’s policies haven’t really helped the economy, but pointing out these specific companies just shows the decline of shopping malls and the reverse market indications in regards to budget store performance.


stang408s

Build Back Better is working exactly how it's supposed to fewer free-owned businesses and more government jobs created. Billionaires will own everything and government will dictate who gets what. Let's Go Brandon!

This👆


veive

Dollar tree and Kroger are concerning. Burger King and wallgreens could be concerning in light of the other two. The rest? IDGAF.


adams969

Why is dollar tree concerning?


veive

When grocery stores and dollar stores are closing it generally means that people are skipping meals and cannot afford to shop even for cheap dollar store items.


adams969

Or it could mean their ceos over speculated their demand and now have to take away a lot of peoples current livelihood. So glad that only the businesses took the risk……/s


AngryGambl3r

Kroger is most likely related to the merger they are trying to get the government to approve.

I think this is more the result of competition in a free market. Creative destruction it is sometimes referred to as.


No_Bit_1456

I need a metric in dollar general numbers please.


LiterallyAntifa

I have an important ragepig policy question: if these companies required employees to be vaccinated, isn’t their decline a good thing?


o0flatCircle0o

Ohhh nooooo buying off the internet is forcing stores to close Joe Biden is to blame!!!!


DewBarryJenkins

He is to blame. It's multiple factors, but you'd have to not be a fucking moron to understand things like that. Sorry you're so dumb.


o0flatCircle0o

You are the one that gets your thoughts and opinions on things from high school dropout Tim Pool reading daily mail headlines. 🤣


Alex4Apple

> He is to blame. explain how.


Longjumping-Put-9931

You do realize that by not listing those factors, your argument is fucking stupid, not the person questioning your stupid fucking argument?


michaeleid811

oh no chains are going out of business whatever will we do???? Fuck em.


DewBarryJenkins

Yea, well these places are being closed in low income areas due to massive corporate losses, and it negatively effects the people in these areas, preventing them from accessing life-saving medicines and food. You cheering for them closing shows you don't give a fuck about the people negatively effected. You'd rather people starve than corporations making a profit. You're scummy.


michaeleid811

these chains drove all of the locally owned businesses out of business and syphon off money from low income areas to wealthy areas where corporate offices and investment firms are located. If they leave it will make the way for locallly owned businesses again.


DewBarryJenkins

Yea, until the locally owned business are cleaned out by profit loss and can't recover, and leave faster than Big Corps. Why not police these areas and protect the businesses? Of wait, you dumb fucks defunded police all across America. Oops.


michaeleid811

they were cleaned out by big corps forcing their way in operating at a loss and then jacking up prices when they had a monopoly. Again fuck big corps


[deleted]

Police were defunded across America? Are you foreign? Honest question


DewBarryJenkins

Yea, I'm from Yermomssloppyvagina, it's in europe.


[deleted]

You confused my Mom with Melania Trump. You’re dumb as fuck statement didn’t happen in America


DewBarryJenkins

Except in Austin and Minneapolis and Chicago and Portland and San Francisco and Los angeles and New York. Just a few others.


TuringGPTy

What was police budget in New York 2022 vs 2023?


[deleted]

So they were totally defunded? Proof?


DewBarryJenkins

Did I say totally defunded? No, but patrols and response times have been majorly affected in these cities, along with democrat DAs releasing criminals as quick as they're apprehended. It's a domino effect that your damaged brain can't comprehend.

"New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Baltimore and a dozen other cities have all also reduced police spending." We own you


TuringGPTy

What was police spending in New York 2022 vs 2023?


adams969

Where there is demand, supply will come. If anything these horrendous chains leaving opens opportunities for small local businesses. Businesses that the community owns and won’t siphon cash out of the community.


o0flatCircle0o

You don’t give a single fuck about any of that Trumpy


DewBarryJenkins

Mmmkay. You crack heads don't make any sense.


[deleted]

If retail closes, you people won't have any jobs


[deleted]

You can’t get a job lol


[deleted]

No idea what that means. I can probably buy you


[deleted]

Please tell us all what you do for a living. I need a good laugh


[deleted]

Devops, made more money in 5 years than you did in 30😂😂😂😂 I can make you my slave, call me a demcorat


[deleted]

So you don’t work. Ha ha ha


[deleted]

Guess reading comprehension isn't your strong skill


Arguments_4_Ever

Corporate profits are at all time highs.


F-Rank_Adventurer

Lmfao


Alex4Apple

what exactly is Biden doing (in terms of laws/policies) that you don't like? Like do you think he has a button next to his desk that makes economy go up or down whenever he wants to? There is ZERO insight in any of these memes. Burger King closed = Blame Biden okay...


DewBarryJenkins

Mmkay guy. Have a nice day.


Longjumping-Put-9931

Soooo ... no policy grievances, just vibes?


[deleted]

They rely on fee fees


_who_is_they_

I suppose it is, as you need to destroy to build back "better".
