payless shoes has such limited selections and you can find way more things online for cheaper and better looking sandals and heels

also if brick and mortar stores are closing, even more low skill labor will be replaced by automation such as inventory and shipping for online places so you're going to have a bigger displacement of labor forces in the upcoming decades.

trucks will be self driving to different online retailer warehouses, which is self automated and dispenses its inventory accurately into different sections and loaded onto the trucks by robots


imo dont save the malls, malls are a blight on the land

all the space in those malls would be more than enough for classrooms if you really think about it. Just have to install some soundproofed walls in the empty department stores and you're set.

why not some malls be refurbished into community centers, some for schools, some for zoos etc

raze the rest
