Oh, brick and mortar isn't dying - in fact, retail has actually seen a net expansion over the past couple years. It's just that this expansion is consolidated almost entirely around dollar stores, which are setting up shop in retail spaces that had, for the most part, been empty for years.

�Essentially what the dollar stores are betting on in a large way is that we are going to have a permanent underclass in America. It�s based on the concept that the jobs went away, and the jobs are never coming back, and that things aren�t going to get better in any of these places.�

iirc all retail is down, especially premium/mid-range retail. dollar stores and cheap supermarkets aren't outpacing total closures, but it's definitely filling a gap.

going to asia is weird because they have malls that make ours look like tiny little jokes and people still go to them. got lost in an underground mall in an hong kong for like 2 hours, couldnt find my way to the surface

that has a lot to do with population density

most of the places malls thrive in america are the ones right out of cities where there's huge suburban population centers that are incredibly dense and city people take a trip out for fun every once in a while
