Yea, businesses that are marginal only survive in a very hot economy. I'm not too concerned about most of these businesses collapsing. Sometimes, you need a big fire to take down everything so you can start over.
A store like that almost needs to be as cyclical as the economy is...pulling back to a core set of locations during the bad times, and expanding out when times are good.
That would take a massive amount of planning and logistics to do that, and it would probably lag the cycles by quite a bit. But you know, the good times last forever or so I've been told.
You and I both work in the semiconductor industry and you know the seven year cycle the industry goes through constantly. Only this cycle is much more severe due to Commiela and the globalists jews.
I know.
No one wants to go slow and steady, it's all go go go until it isn't.
