SCENE: CORPORATE BOARDROOM, DOWNTOWN DALLAS, 1972 A GROUP OF EXECUTIVES IN SUITS ARE SITTING AROUND A TABLE, SMOKING CIGARETTES AND LOOKING GLUM "so the whole country hates us and still thinks we murdered kennedy. it's been 10 years and we've tried everything. the dallas brand is poison." one executive who goes on regular "vacations" to southeast asia perks up like a lightbulb just went off. "i've got an idea... let's rebrand the dallas-fort worth-denton metropolitan area to ... the golden triangle." "by god that's brilliant!"

The fuckhuge Asian malls are the most galling in countries like the Philippines where the area around the mall is essentially Upper Middle to Upper Class targeted amenities and only a mile or two away is Lower middle class neighborhoods who consider going to the mall a special trip. This is mostly based on my experience with the Mall of Asia in the Philippines.

Prav posted:if mom and pop haven't bought some cheap off-the-shelf web store by 2017 they should probably get on that But that’s the real beauty of amazon - mom and pop don’t have to. Amazon gives equal “shelf space” to all sellers. Mom and pop can just sign us to amazon’s merchants program. They won’t need their own site, and they get access to literal billions of customers. And there is no preferential treatment; you can’t buy a better shelf position. Interestingly, that fact is something that caused some mid- to large-range businesses to pack up their toys and go home crying. Lush Cosmetics was very angry that amazon wouldn’t sell them better search rankings - shelf space - and let them cheat. If a different wholesaler retailer sold Lush soaps for less than the brand wanted to charge, that retailer got the first spot on sorted-by-price list. Lush threw a tantrum that they weren’t allowed to buy better rankings, and stopped selling on amazon. Only third parties sell it now. Bad call. I really like lush soaps and loled pretty hard when I read the reason I couldn’t buy them on amazon. I don’t really feel like entering my credit card details on a thousand different sites, so...

Arise, thread! Malls are changing their names due to the association with 'doomed' and 'failure'
