Hated my macro Econ classes because it was so theoretical and hard to understand in real terms. Micro Econ was much more tangible and relatable. But, oh boy. CCP China is making it extremely tangible now.

I followed a dude that likes to cover US commercial real estate. He'd just randomly tweet out random mall properties. The US lower tier malls were struggling even before the pandemic. They were selling / foreclosed for rock bottom prices back in 2018-19. This trend was going to happen with or without the pandemic. The pandemic just sped up shopping patterns. The mixed used developments seem like a way better use of real estate. Asia does a lot of these already. This mall isn't one of them. Instead of the Little Pinks prank calling Japan about seawater, real nationalism would be to start a campaign about supporting local small businesses and not shop online at the big internet companies.

@DD-ld1xq The same concept if I sneeze in your face or if I sneeze outside in the air. Particles disperse and get diluted. This shouldn't be a hard concept.

@VincentConti-m5j I (we) think I'm the last part of the generation where we had small(er) stores. I grew up in the suburbs of an East Coast US city. We had a local pharmacy and a small / medium sized grocery store within a 5-10 min walk. Of course prices are going to be slightly higher than the bigger chain, but if you don't send some of your business there, it will be gone forever. I moved away for college and I think my parents said that a CVS moved across the street from the old pharmacy. Can't imagine it survived.
