Even if this was true, because a company didn't support or endorse your candidate of choice, you're gleeful that thousands of people are going to be out of a job?
You can't make this nonsense up.
Trumpistas. No punishment harsh enough for those who dare besmirch the name of Orange Julius Caesar.
If people aren't going to Macy's, where are they going?
People aren't "going" anywhere.
They are shopping from home, the office or wherever they have internet access.
As was noted earlier, Macy's CEO acknowledged that their online sales were good this season.
People simply aren't shopping in stores.
"The Internet is set to continue its inexorable march upward this holiday season: digital sales are expected to hit $94.71 billion this Christmas period, according to research firm eMarketer."
I'm a very devout Republican, yet I can't blame Obama for this...
Wow, a sensible, logical Republican. I wish there were more of you.
It's a joke to blame Macy's problems on the government. Since the beginning of time retail always follows the same trajectory: a period of hot growth and expansion as the new stores are the latest trend; followed by a long plateau as the franchise is built out; followed by a decline in sales and store closures as the brand is viewed as "tired," "old school," "only Grandma shops there."
Same as Sears, Woolworth, Gemco, Circuit City, Western Auto, Radio Shack.... I give Walmart 20 years before it too becomes a tired brand with declining sales.
If people aren't going to Macy's, where are they going?
Macy's said their online sales are good. More people are buying online at various retailers. Many stores like Walmart, Home Depot, Target, Macy's realized that they needed to compete with Amazon so they have ramped up their online sales technology. Walmart recently bought Jet. Walmart has rolled out a service where you order online and pickup in stores.
I'm a very devout Republican, yet I can't blame Obama for this. Macy's made the mistake of rebranding all of their "legacy" regional nameplates (Kauffman's, Hecht's, Famous Barr, The Jones Store, Burdines, Lazarus, etc.) to the Macy's nameplate. That took away any regional pride those stores may have had. Macy's is also tied at the hip to many dying malls (thanks to massively long lease agreements). Macy's is a mess due to inept management.
If people aren't going to Macy's, where are they going?
I just bought some clothes at REI, Whole Earth Provisions and Nordstrom Rack, not everybody has those stores though. I buy online too.
