How major US chains including Target, CVS, Macy's and Rite
Aid were behind nearly 3,000 stores this year
A host of retailers filed for bankruptcy or slimmed down
their operations in 2023
Bed Bath & Beyond shut 896, Foot Locker 545 and CVS 300
Fears of a 'retail apocalypse' are rising as more bricks
and mortar stores close

THANKS JOE !!!
Sorry, but in-person beats online. Imagine - wage-
earning nuance-getting HUMANS to converse with !!!
Proposed, a "cyber-tax" of 10% on every online
transaction, 20% for online/AI "medical"-related
stuff where the consequences of mis-understanding
can be rather serious. The money goes to all the
humans disemployed.
In short, what corps think they're gonna save by
firing all their humans - don't let 'em GET it.
