I once heard a saying that if it is destroyed build it better.

Sorry for the inconvenience it has to be worse before it’s better.

Heard Macys is sadly the next business to go.

What happened?

Rebranding too fast?

Raising prices to exclude the undesirables?

Making stuff free for the chosen ones?

Thinking company’s had enough excess to absorb the shrinkage?

Throwing away millions of merchandise just because you thought an individual would suffer or struggle?

All I see is the traditions and community that made the United States especially New York are gone.

Gone Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade (sponsored by Macy’s)

Gone Santas photos (Miracle on 34th Street)

Gone fireworks on the 4th of July and New Year’s.

Gone is Bed Bath and Beyond

All I see is empty store fronts and empty cities with no celebrations.

By taking away not only those brands you took major reasons New Yorkers celebrated and the world would watch and want to be the United States of America.

You said I was a fuddy duddy and was being too restrictive.

But the inconveniences are destroying America and unless a change happens soon tourism is gone also.

Why would you want to go anywhere when all you see are crashes in the sky, empty store shelves and buildings surrounded by those who smash and grab.

People are stuck in their homes no place to work, cause jobs are cut because they’re only a few businesses buying nothing because they can’t afford it, losing their homes and cars because they can’t afford it.

When are you going to see that you are hurting your nose despite yourself?

What is left if you don’t have Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s and the 4th of July to celebrate?

Seriously humans can’t work hard if there is no business to work hard within, and humans can’t celebrate their wins or holidays if there are no more celebrations.

A community works and celebrates that is what strengthens the economy.

Heck, how is LA going to host the Olympics?

Seriously where are you getting the material to rebuild if the tariffs are too high and no businesses in the USA to help the economy?

Remember every street is empty, the malls are empty and mom and pop can’t afford to have their local business because it has to be a certain brand.

Thinking the next televised event that brings together a nation will be?

Ridiculous and disgusting it is just at home with just TikTok video of 11 or less celebrating and living.

You can’t protect a business or brand if there aren’t humans that have income to help or support it.
