Consequences Commentary

I sat this AM, and noted:  "Target is closing 9 stores in Democrat-run areas like New York City, Seattle, San Francisco, and Portland, citing retail theft and organized crime that made stores unsafe and unsustainable."

As someone commented....this is likely phase one, and in 60 days...there's likely to be a phase two with 20 additional stores.  By late summer....a likely phase three with forty more stores.

So I'm making a prediction of consequences:

1.  Survival of most stores like Target will revolve around the idea of you entering one single point of the store....flashing a credit card, and your entry is logged to that card being charged for all items in the cart at the end.  Attempt to skip or not-play?  You get denied entry.

2.  Other stores will go this route by the end of 2026.

3. A majority of voters will wake up and demand real jail-time for theft/shop-lifting....like six months in a county jail.  This will expand construction of warehouse-operations that offer jail-accommodations.

4.  By the end of 2028...within a 20-mile circle of where you live....at least 40-odd empty buildings will stand.  Former Wal-Marts, or Target or Piggly Wiggly shops. All left to decay because of thefft.
