We are guilty of over-consumption on a mass scale & to service our vice, retail went ballistic over the last 2 decades. I mean, do we all really need 2 malls, 12 gas stations, 6 Starbucks, & 2300 specialty retailers within 3 miles of our homes?

So we have far too much retail that depends upon either large volume or high margin sales to survive. Both have nosedived & the immediate future looks pretty grim for a short turn comeback. Buying on super sale is just cashflow with negative profit for the retailers. Hmm, that won't work for long.

Sing along with Bob: Oh, the times they are a-changin' . . .
