Target has announced they\u2019re closing 9 stores across the country.<\/p>\n
Boo Hoo!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCommunity Leaders\u201d are bemoaning the imminent closures, citing the harm such closures cause to people on fixed incomes. They\u2019re saying things like people could walk to the Target but when it closes the people will have to go elsewhere via car, bus, or train.<\/p>\n
Waaa, Waaa, Waaa,<\/p>\n
One store being closed is in Harlem. Two stores in Seattle, Three Stores in Portland, and Three in San Francisco.<\/p>\n
What part of retail stores are FOR PROFIT don\u2019t people understand? When the stores are projected to loose upwards of 1 billion dollars, Anybody with a brain could predict the outcome. Target will cut its losses and say, “fuck you,” to communities that sanction crime.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t deny that these communities sanction crime. Defund the Police says, “we don\u2019t believe in law and order.” \u00a0I\u2019m sure there are some of these folk who actually thought that crime was somehow a function of police actions. Unfortunately, the people this will hurt most are the elderly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All the young dumbshits running rampant through stores stealing anything they can put their hands on should be real proud of themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the \u201cman\u201d a.k.a. “white fucker” running the business that is hurt. That guy, and the board of directors, and the investors in Target see the loss as a blip in profitability. A blip that is easily remedied by closing stores, laying off employees, and security guards, selling the store fixtures, and finally selling the store building or terminating the building lease.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The \u2018Blip\u2019 disappears almost instantly, and profitability resumes.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all handled in gleaming glass and steel office buildings, by people who make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and drive Teslas, Mercedes, and BMWs. Their hands are clean and for them all of this is just numbers on a piece of paper. They\u2019ll never know or see the collateral damage done to the community, nor should they.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because they\u2019re not the ones doing the damage!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>They\u2019re just reacting to profitability dropping and expenses rising. In fact a computer could make all the same decisions with the same outcome.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the single mother who has to go on a three hour trip with her screaming children in tow to get diapers. It\u2019s their granny pushing her walker past the closed stores 2 blocks from home, to hit the subway for the 40 mile trip to get her heart medication.<\/p>\n So good job<\/strong><\/em>! You filthy thieving pieces of shit! You hurt no-one but your own, and changed nothing except to make things worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n I guess we can\u2019t expect anything better from you. After all, you were educated in the American School system and taught repeatedly that you were entitled to that PlayStation and big screen TV, but never taught that you had to get off your ass and work for it. Instead you thought you\u2019d be a big time influencer, or sports player, or entertainer. Uh huh, sure\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n Here\u2019s something that \u201cRacist<\/em>\u201d math is good for. Take the number of people in your particular community. Now count the number of people from that community that are any of those things (Influencer, sorts player, entertainer). Divide the influencer\/sport\/entertainer, count by the number of your overall population. See that little tiny number? The one that starts 0.0000000?<\/p>\n It may have a 1 or larger number after<\/strong> all those zeros.\u00a0<\/p>\n That jackass, is how many people from your community are making a living in those \u201cjobs\u201d. That\u2019s not even the probability that you<\/strong><\/em> are going to make it as an (influencer, sports player, or entertainer). Just so you know bucko the probability of you personally “making it” looks more like 0.00000000000000000000000000123.<\/p>\n So instead of jerking off in your mama\u2019s basement waiting for your \u201cBig Break,\u201d maybe you should go back to school, learn a trade and get your ass to work. Then instead of throwing rocks through windows and stealing shit, you can walk into a store and buy shit like everyone else has been doing since humanity first moved into villages.<\/p>\n Yeah, historically, if you\u2019d been taught actual history\u2026 Villages, spawned trade and free markets, and OH MY GOD! NOOOOOO!, Capitalism.\u00a0<\/p>\n Communism is the artificial construct. Nobody is altruistic enough for Communism to ever work. I don\u2019t want to work my ass off for someone who\u2019s a lazy piece of shit. Why can\u2019t I be a lazy piece of shit too? Why should I work to provide food for my family when that guy who plays X-Box all day smoking dope with his friends, gets as much food for his family as I do, even though I\u2019m the one growing the food!<\/p>\n Communism is completely antithetical to Human Nature. It will never work, and hasn\u2019t to date worked ever anywhere on the planet.<\/p>\n Human Nature always wins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Target has announced they\u2019re closing 9 stores across the country.
