Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Because it is.
No, you're confirming that you have reading comprehension issues. Ya might want to work on that. Start by re-reading the posts.

Well, yeah.
Obama has long advocated for rural, middle-of-nowhere areas to have broadband access, doncha know?

From the NPR link I posted earlier:

People have embraced online shopping.
The end.
Case closed.

So, Ford, Carrier, SoftBank/Sprint and Fuyao Glass are all due to The Donald - but Macy's is all Obama.






Got it.

You just wait.

It is called the Free Market.... Get use to it. You F-up you are held accountable. Macy's has found that out the hard way and there is no recovery in their future. Macy's soon to be bought out by Walmart.


I am waiting, so I can capitalize and make it here, putting Americans to work.

Lol. Oh, I re-read your posts.

You didn't clarify anything. You clearly stated this was the result of Macy's position against Trump.

Oh well, at least you smartened up and came around. Better late than never.

When I do an internet search for a product, Macy's doesn't come up in the first few pages. You get a bunch of Amazon hits, followed by other retailers, but Macy's might as well not exist unless you add "Macy's" to the search.

When I was searching for men's leather dress gloves, I got plenty of results that didn't include Macy's in the top results.

Adapt or die.

I would only temper that by noting the scoreboard clock starts at 12:01, January 20th. If people are handed their pink slips prior to that date and time or conversely, if someone receives their first new job paycheck prior to that time if it's on Obama. Same with Trump after 1/20.

In other words, announcements of jobs saved or lost are just that, announcements. They don't mean anything until the paperwork goes through. Then you can put it on the scoreboard. Fair is fair.

If true, I hate that 10,000 people are losing their jobs. However, Macy's is responsible for their own downfall. I used to always shop Macy's and breeze through Nordstrom's or even Dillard's. Now, I'll occasionally check out Macy's handbags and shoes, maybe buy some Lancôme or Fiestaware. I haven't bought their clothes in ages though, either they don't stock or their buyers suck.
