Do you think they should ban on-line shopping?

For one thing, physical stores would come back like Kmart, Sears, Radio Shack, AES, Boston Store, Macy's and many more.

It would get people working again

Returns would be easier

You can instantly tell if something was crap

Man so many pluses

I often watch several youtube reviews on products before I purchase them online, as well as go by legitimate purchaser reviews, they must have a minimum of 2,000 four star and above to make sure they're not shills, and not come directly from China. I must admit I do mourn the loss of malls like everyone of our generation is, however, due to my terminal cardiopulmonary issues I cannot go out as much as I like, I have become 24/7 dependent on assisted oxygen amd get exhaused and short of breath quickly. To many online shopping has been a life saver, I should also add that catalog shopping had been around since when Sears introduced it in the late 1800's, which in reality was no different.

@BrewCityBarfly After a year? Stop buying cheap or abusing the product then, most things of quality last. I was taught at an early age by my Grandfather, who was an engineer and product designer for companies, that buying quality is cheaper in the long run, because you don't have to keep buying those items like you do cheaper ones. Unboxing videos are actually informative, regardless of whether the reviewer got them supplied or not, one such reviewer goes through discreet third party buyers so that the sellers won't send choice picks, it makes his reviews more honest, he lives in Las Vegas and can be very brutal with cheaply made shit, specially if those items are expensive.

@BrewCityBarfly A stretch belt? Most likely you over tightened it and stressed the buckle.

@BrewCityBarfly You're obviously too dense to understand what I just wrote 🙄

@NativePortlander1970 I still get some store catalogs in the mail.

I still get a kick out of filling out the form, put it in a envelop, put a stamp on it, put in the mail box and put the little red metal flag up. Got to let the mail carrier know there's mail in the box

@HumanEarth Then wait your six to eight weeks, if it doesn't get lost in either direction.
