Not even in Australia has this ever happened. I guess this is what happens when the covid, Trump and very poor money policy mixes together. I am not saying that Australia is all that great but I guess malls closing down like in the USA isn't one of those things that is going bad
With everything bought on line and working from home, and the beaches becoming the cities toilets, there won't be any need to go out, hence there will be no need for privately owned cars.

As with all brick and mortar stores, Fry's was more killed by Amazon than anything else.
I used to buy a lot of stuffs from Fry's to take advantages of not needed to pay sales tax since I am living in the East Coast. Only Micro center and Bestbuy left for electronics. After CompUSA and Circuit City liquidated, I am not surprised Fry's is next.

I have my own stories about visiting Fry's in CA. So sad to see it go. It was just an incredible experience for geeks... New York had its own J&R Music World (remember their catalogs? 9/11 killed it) but that is like comparing a neighborhood grocery store with a Costco.

9/11 didn't only kill J&R but also killed Manhattan Chinatown. I went to J&R often when I visited Manhattan Chinatown before 9/11. Newegg.com used to be a good place for computer hardware and parts too.

I wouldn't be surprised that all this attention is actually inspiring more attacks on Asians out of spite. It's not like Asians are actually going to do something themselves so it's not like these racists are going to be afraid for their lives. I don't know how many of you here have heard about the muggings in SF Chinatown before these latest incidents that have gotten attention nationally. If anyone knows SF Chinatown, Stockton Ave. is probably the most busiest street full of people in all of San Francisco during the most active hours. These criminals from the outside come into Chinatown with the street packed with locals and mug and beat people out in the open in front of everyone. They don't fear consequences because they know Asians especially immigrants won't fight back. The only way this will stop is if they're dealt with right then and there and then news will go back to their friends they brag about this to that inspires them to do it...
