    What are you laughing about, Fool? Having to drive 100 miles to get your prescriptions or food? That assumes, of course, that you HAVE a car, which many SFers don't.

    As Walmart CEO warns of crime wave's impact on retail, reports show how thieves brazenly rip off stores

    -- https://www.foxnews.com/us/as-walmart-ceo-warns-crime-waves-impact-retail-reports-show-how-thieves-brazenly-rip-off-stores
    Walmart closes stores because they are losing money, which MUST include costs due to shoplifting ("shrinkage" as they call it in the industry). Here is yet ANOTHER retailer closing a Portland store:
    https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2023/04/rei-to-close-its-only-portland-store-citing-break-ins-theft.html

    And you might try reading YOUR OWN citation:

    "It’s difficult to ascertain Walmart’s thinking. The company offered only that the closures were based on the stores’ financial performance. It declined to comment further."

    And from that you infer (learn the difference) shoplifting as the reason.

    What part of the "math" did he get wrong, Sunshine?

    Nah, Tommy got one correct for a change: it should have said ~$8B, not T,

    In the meantime, the spin attempt is going to be that CNN & MSNBC should
    be sued for Defamation now that Fox News has settled with Dominion, they
    need to check court filings, as CNN and MSNBC have been sued in the past:

    - In 2019, Trump’s campaign sued CNN for Defamation. A Judge dismissed it.

    - In 2019 OAN sued Rachel Maddow for Defamation. A Judge not only dismissed it, but Maddow was awarded $250,000 in legal fees.
    - In 2020 Nick Sandmann sued CNN for $275 million for Defamation; settled out of court.

    So yes, you can sue CNN and MSNBC if you want, but you’re likely end up losing money.
    Dominion has had a solid case. That’s why they got so much money from Fox…and they
    will get it “today”, not decades from now after an endless series of appeals.

    Plus time will tell how much Dominion spends on Fox to buy ads to make sure that Fox viewers know the truth.

    And this isn’t the last of the lawsuits:

    Dominion is Suing:

    - Fox News - Won $787,500,000.00
    - NewsMax - pending
    - OANN - pending
    - Sidney Powell - pending
    - Rudy Giuliani - pending
    - Mike Lindell - pending
    - Patrick Byrne - pending

    Plus Smartmatic is suing:

    - Fox News - pending
    - NewsMax - pending
    - OANN - pending
    - Sidney Powell - pending
    - Rudy Giuliani - pending
    - Jeanine Pirro - pending
    - Maria Bartiromo - pending
    - Lou Dobbs - pending

    FAFO applies.

    No, idiot, the headline said that - the article said it was impossible to tell. So, the headline was a LIE!

    Here is ANOTHER Walmart closing: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/walmart-closing-an-everett-store-that-locals-say-was-plagued-by-theft/
    Walmart said “there is no single cause” for any store closure, but shoplifting at this store was rampant and clearly affected the store's financial performance. Walmart CEO admitted that shoplifting is higher than it has ever been:

    “Theft is an issue. It’s higher than what it has historically been,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon told CNBC in December.

    So, you libtards can, and will, bury your heads in the sand and PRETEND that this, and other types of crime, aren't on the rise, but the only people you are kidding are your pathetic selves.

    Wrong, again, BirdBrain. This shoplifting epidemic is the direct result of changes to laws by the lawless Dimocratic Party. This soft-on-crime approach by the Dims will be directly targeted by the Republicans in the 2024 election.

    "Retail crime has been rising throughout the US for the past five
    years... "

    So that is during who's watch?

    "The biggest increase over that period happened not during the pandemic
    but in 2019..."

    Remind me again.

    So this strategy included letting shop lifting soar under their
    watch... and doing fuck all to stop it.

    Undermined by you own dumbness, Betty.

    ============================
    As Walmart CEO warns of crime wave's impact on retail, reports show how thieves brazenly rip off stores

    Walmart closes stores because they are losing money, which MUST include costs due to shoplifting ("shrinkage" as they call it in the industry). Here is yet ANOTHER retailer closing a Portland store:
    https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2023/04/rei-to-close-its-only-portland-store-citing-break-ins-theft.html
    And you might try reading YOUR OWN citation:

    "It’s difficult to ascertain Walmart’s thinking. The company offered only that the closures were based on the stores’ financial performance. It declined to comment further."
    Which still says Shoplifting unlikely the driving force in Walmart closures.

    No, idiot, the headline

    Yes, idiot. That is what CNN said.

    You have drunk the Kool-Aid, my friend. The shoplifting problem,
    in particular, and the increase in crime in general, is endemic
    to certain, large Dem-misrun cities such as San Francisco: https://www.ktvu.com/news/major-retail-brands-threaten-to-close-st ores -over-rampant-retail-theft This IS what the Dims want for EVERYBODY; the Republican's strategy is to prevent this from happening.
    There is no such "strategy".

    Wrong, again, BirdBrain. This shoplifting epidemic is the direct
    result of changes to laws by the lawless Dimocratic Party. This soft-on-crime approach by the Dims will be directly targeted by the Republicans in the 2024 election.

    https://nypost.com/2022/01/22/why-shoplifting-is-soaring-in-the-us-and-will-get-worse/
    "Retail crime has been rising throughout the US for the past five
    years... "

    So that is during who's watch?

    "The biggest increase over that period happened not during the pandemic
    but in 2019..."

    Remind me again.

    So this strategy included letting shop lifting soar under their
    watch... and doing fuck all to stop it.

    Undermined by you own dumbness, Betty.

    Hey BirdBrain, if you had the brains of a bird, and you don't, you would realize that shoplifting is a LOCAL crime demanding LOCAL policing and prosecution. So, if you think you can blame Trump for this you are, as usual, very sadly mistaken.

    You claimed the rethuglicans had a strategy but it is clear that on
    their watch shop lifting soared.
    You lied when you claimed they had a strategy and their past
    performance demonstrates that you are just a demented old bullshitter.

    No, you fucking idiot, shoplifting has soared under DIM local mayors and prosecutors.
