The only reason many malls survive is because of the many ways they receive 'corporate welfare'.
Like how they help to push the tax burden off unto the poor slobs they employ at minimum wage or slightly above it.
The retail space rents charged is literally theft.
They 'tax defer' any spaces not rented.
W are up against the real estate and business associations with their ever constant push of legislation aimed solely at them getting every corporate welfare break they can. The worm whole with this runs far deeper than most could ever even imagine. Never the less fully know about.
While the corporate executives are making millions hand over fist. With plenty left over to permanently retain entire law firms to play every legislative trick in the book to keep the massive amounts of money flow going straight into their bank accounts.
Why go to shopping malls, anyway? When their is the world wide web? More products at much more competitive prices are available. Even with shipping charges you can obtain any product at relatively 50% of the cost at any given mall store. You do not have to pay the traveling cost. Risk your life in traffic related terrorism. No red lights and burning up a gallon or two of gasoline sitting still in traffic jams.
The only trips to any mall should be for getting food at any given grocery store.
Other than this, shopping malls with their greedy owners need to be boycotted out of business. Make these greedy, already wealthy land owners bite the bullet an go DOWN! Stick o keeping the grocery stores highly competive. In turn, keeping the cost of food down to, reality.
It has all become so out of control it is insane. Along with our government(s?)
That's another sling. Local, state and federal government? How much more crooked levels of government does one nation need?
