      Yeah and they killed shopping malls. Never buy anything from there, might as well sail the high seas.

          Before Amazon were malls, before that, the big stores came along like shopko, Walmart, etc. which still persist. But of you go back far enough you get “Department” stores, mainly in the big cities 100 years ago.

          As an aside, the stock market has also always been fucked. All the way back to the beginning like Jay Gould and the rail company corruption.

          The system has always been against us.
