Amazon and Walmart.
In the old days if you wanted a collection of different goods you had to go to the mall.
After Walmart you could get shoes, clothes, furniture, and trinkets at Walmart...for less. And latter you could just order it from Amazon and have it show up at your house in a couple of days.
Malls couldn't get compete because the stores there had to pay for appealing real estate.
In my area we still do have malls but I like in a wealthy-ish area and more and more the stores in the malls are high end.

The tepid nature of propaganda that Shrub experimented with was...underwhelming...and of course he shelved most of it as soon as the Democrats started whining about it.
If you want to win a war you fight it like you did in WWII. Yes that means a winning RoE, competent generals, but all an effort to keep homefront morale up. Ironically, the reason we lost the WoT is because Shrub and co had no problem sending grunts to their deaths but were TERRIFIED of getting spoken of poorly in the FNM.

2 teenagers, 1 man arrested for illegally manufacturing guns in Ventura County
https://t.co/XvPzGMwA15
http://tiny.cc/5v3yzz
Deputies arrested two teenagers and a 45-year-old man for allegedly manufacturing and possessing unregistered guns and automatic rifles in Ventura County, officials announced Friday.
At the conclusion of a months-long investigation, detectives say they seized 16 illegal firearms, three unlawfully possessed firearms, numerous firearm components and a “significant amount” of ammunition from a Santa Rosa Valley residence.
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office says the investigation began in May when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security intercepted internationally shipped packages destined for one of the two teens, who was believed to be residing in the 2000 block of Blanchard Road

When Jaguar was a serious car company, they really didn't have to advertise. The cars sold themselves, simply being Jaguars. You knew you were getting a beautiful-looking, fast powerful car that simply oozed class. And the fact that it needed to go to the shop regularly was simply proof of its thoroughbred ancestry.

The Mesilla Valley Mall in Las Cruces is about half dead for a few reasons. When Sears folded that end of the mall died and they've never been able to refill that huge space, most of the stores in the mall are not that compelling and are being slowly replaced by vape stores, and then there are the three Walmarts scattered around town.

Big socialist titties.
If they are socialist... aren't they owned by the gubbmint which is all of us, the people, and so We The People have a right to enjoy all the big socialist titties, without the consent of the "tit"ular owner?
Isn't that how socialism works -- we get to take from those who have to give to those who have not? They have the big socialist titties, and I do not, so I get to take them, or at least play with them?
I think that's how this socialism thing works, right?

Most incels are pretty leftwing and many of them have started to argue for the "socialization of sex" which would mean that people have to have sex with each other by random lot.
A stupid, stupid idea on many levels, but I mean, it is socialism. From those that have to those that need right? And a number of the early communes actually tried things sort of like this.

I have a spare steering box, sitting in another naked chassis. If the '08 proves to need more than a U-joint, I will pull the spare steering box, throw it in the back of the '99, and come down in it. It doesn't steer that bad, just not as good as it should be.

There were many complaints at Powerline; the response was, the ads are computer selected by the number of times a word appears in the blog threads. A keyword search initiates what the subject of the advertising would be. They used Googleitics or something like that. That's when I got my first adBlocker.

Nothing new. I worked in the comm manufacturing sector for decades, and the usual purchasing cycle for a new product was on the order of 5 years to volume buys.
A year of marketing ads, trade shows etc. Another year of sales coming presentations to top brass and engineering. Another year of engineering doing lab qualifications. And... Another year of initial installs and training of Operating Company staff, and finally orders in sufficient quantity to start amortizing design and development costs.
I got out :-) during the dot boom, and found that electric utility companies run on the same sort of schedule. Seems to have something to do with being highly regulated.

That happiest day of my life bit was cool. It gave me a great entree to share what today was like for me. It was pretty much the opposite.
They called to ask do another procedure on Jules, basically due to their incompetence. When I call back to check they say she has been moved to Critical Care. I'm thinking something bad happened. Finally find out she was moved from her room because they a trauma patient who needed it.
Then this Dr calls from Dad's rehab place and pretty much tells me he's going to die soon. OK, I knew that but is just a shitty day.
Get home and trying to decompress, some wine and leftovers, put the dogs out and Flash slips his collar after a bit. Can't get him in, he's an inquisitive 16 month old Gordon Setter, they are stubborn.
After 20 minutes I call the police, number in the phone book goes to city hall and they are closed. WTF! So I call 911, they notify the police, and then 20 minutes later the dog shows up at the back door.
Call police and let them know he's caught. Then sit down, have another drink and read AOS after one of the worst days of my life.

The mass shootings perpetrated in malls would tend to counter that. IMHO, main reason for malls? Being able to shop in a courtyard-like atmosphere in all seasons in shirtsleeve comfort. Biggest mall in Canada? Edmonton, a cold city in Winter. Biggest mall in the USA? Mall of America in Minnesota, also very cold winters.

Upstairs was the better answer. Buses routed by the malls became a 'diversity' form of entertainment. Easy access. Usually lots of whyite pipple with cash. That's when malls started going down, at least in the area in which I grew up. Late 1980s/early '90s. Then came the downfall of the anchor stores, the ones that were on a corner and also served as mall entrances; Monkey Ward, J.C. Penny, et.al. Those two were enough to be the kisses of death but then toss in a high rent smooch and, in mafia terms, it's over. The final nail was the internet. Who needs Spencer's Gifts anymore? Or Hickory Farms? (Although I do miss the free samples/lunch.) Mall bookstores? 'Tis to laugh. (And I used to work for Barnes & Noble/B. Dalton.)

Pellet stove still running, *knock on wood* but it's only been a week since I last worked on it. Found/fixed a couple of issues that I hadn't though of as issues before. Huh, we'll see.
Also bought a different brand of pellets. These didn't appear to have such long pieces as the previous brand, but do seem to be more powdery. Will need to screen the last bit of each bag, rather than just dumping it into the hopper.

24F here now as well. Temp has been a bit bouncy around 0.5 degree as it drops. Official temps are all 28F right now in the nearest towns.

I don't care who you are or for what public office you run, it takes a certain amount of guts for non-professional pols to put themselves out there and do it. Try vs. talk.

Changing subjects, cold cuts are not meant to be eaten cold. Room temperature or above, with some preferring to be heated. But room temp works. So for breakfast a turkey/ham/bacon sammich on a roll, with a homemade dijonaisse (added later). I'll do the corned beef hash tomorrow. Between all the potatoes, peppers and onions, don't feel like dealing with all that dicing right now. So sammich it is.
