A lot of those stores are dinosaurs.

As Locker said, radio shack is a relic.

Blockbuster got netflixed.

Sears and jcpenneys seriously f*#ked up and their business plan, which was stale anyway.

So what?

The jobs aren't going away, they are just shifting to other businesses.

The graphs Larry posted tell a different story.

The labor force participation rate remains at historically low rates.

Americans not in the labor force is at a historically high, 92.6 million.

Ron, come on. You seriously can't blame the government for this.
Most of these companies are the victims of corporate mismanagement.

What exactly IS your problem, Sketch?

what kind of psychosis do you have that makes you see everything as negative?

were you bullied on the playground?

low self esteem from always seeing other people as much smarter than you?

jealous that no good woman would want to be with you?

We're fortunate to have posters like you, unwilling to resort to cheap personal attacks.

You're awesome.

Yes Ron, there will always be businesses going under.

And, there will always be new businesses arising to hire unemployed people.

Let me guess, you are moonlighting as an economics professor? A labor consultant?

"...republicans tend to win rural districts where no one lives, and Dems tend to win more urban areas that are population centers. "


Yes, and there were more Repub votes in the last election than Dem votes because more Democratic voters stayed home.

Anyone know the last time the Dow lost 300 points?

Yes pyro, republicans tend to win rural districts where no one lives, and Dems tend to win more urban areas that are population centers.

Could you list one of those districts.... where no one lives?

"Anyone know the last time the Dow lost 300 points?"

I'm thinking sometime around 2007? That was downright disastrous, wasn't it?

Who was POTUS at that time?

Oh, yeah...right...

Isn't this what happens in a capitalist economy? there are winners, and losers. It seems like the conservatives cheer this, because it means that losers pay for being losers. Those people who lose jobs keep the salaries of everyone down due to the increased availability of labor.

What is the alternative? Gov't programs to help struggling companies? Isn't that what we did with GM?? Didn't the Conservatives scream and cry over that, that GM and all its suppliers should have been allowed to fail?

And DMT, you said it somewhere......it's all about the Supreme Court.

Whoever is elected will be most certainly appointing people who will be in power for as long as 40 years. They have absolute power, with no check. They are not elected.

Consider carefully who you would want appointing these positions.....

Ron, all we can ask for is improvement.

The President walked into the biggest economic mess since the depression. It is going to take time to recover.

Sketch, why did you come back?

No one --I mean--no one--likes you, missed you, appreciated your posts, or insults, or thought you had anything interesting thing to say.

I suppose you are here because you enjoy trolling people who don't like you.
What does that say about you?
