Here's a follow up, with a similar theme:

Message 31029022

A new real estate crisis has begun.

You might find that hard to believe. After all, the government put out all sorts of laws and regulations after the last housing crisis. These measures were supposed to protect us from a repeat of the 2008–2009 financial crisis.

Plus, U.S. housing prices are rising, not falling.

But I’m not talking about the housing market. I’m talking about retail real estate.

What needs to be addressed is discounting.

How long can or will Americans keep demanding discounts on everything when they know obtaining those cheaper prices is costing so many American jobs. If we want America First, we need to accept higher costs and wagers for employees and stop demanding deep discounts when we shop. Also stop expecting every company to have increased earnings every quarter to appease shareholders.

Maybe reducing earnings reports to twice year would also help.

I can see Amazon buying up some distressed retail space. Maybe in malls to have people order goods and services from PC terminals and return goods there. Store employees could also demonstrate & sell services they have to offer. I've already read somewhere their thinking about buying some Boeing transport planes to lessen their dependence on Fed-X & UPS.
