They all still exist bro, just go outside.

It's cheaper to buy things online.

They still exist but they're a lot less important.

>>131220354
ACCEPTED

The Clinton Foundation was more than just "Pay for Play". They were using their network of Democratically elected Sheriffs and Judges to pervert the justice system.

People would pay Indulgences to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for leniency or outright Exoneration of Crimes committed. (This is how they built their Blackmail network)

Cheaper and more convenient to buy shit online

Also all the malls are 90% overpriced clothing stores now aimed at teenage girls

They still exist

I go to malls to shop, mostly brusnwick square, Woodbridge, oldbridge, short hills and they are always packed

Tons more niggers though.

10 years ago it was mostly whites and asians/Indians

>>131220354
Online shopping. Online games. Online socializing.

>>131220354
It is a failure of consumer capitalism. In the first place malls, bowling alleys, and arcades were consumerist extravagance, but the ongoing disintegration of nation and people have rid themselves of these distractions.

It was a problem that solved itself.

>>131220354
It signifies that people are so overstimulated what were once exciting hobbies are now considered boring.

>>131220354
>>131220494
Yup, niggers.
There's a Japanese fast food place in my local mall that I enjoy, but I only go very, very rarely because the entire place is wall to wall niggers.

>>131220494
This.

We had three malls within a reasonable distance of where I lived. One became a nigger infested hell hole back in the 90s, and predictably shut down when the actual paying customers stopped showing up because of it.

Said paying customers started going to the other two malls, one of the malls was still within walking distance of shitty section 8 housing, so all of the sub humans started wandering over there as well.

Without boring with details, we now have one mall, it's surrounded by major highways that are not easy to cross, and the nearest section 8 housing is probably a good 4-5 miles away. It caters primarily to yuppies progressives, but does well financially.

>>131220631
lol @ New Jersey malls.

They're such shit.

Bowling alleys still exist, popular with sports fans, elderly, churches and daycare folks (lotta mentally handicapped).

>online shopping

Possibly the biggest:

>>131220354
>malls
Online shopping is killing them. I still prefer to go to real stores to buy clothing because it is hard to tell how things will look on me by a picture. I also have feet that are 1/2 size different from each other so I have had bad luck buying shoes online. I need to try them on at the store to make sure I'm getting the size that is the best compromise between my two feet.

>bowling alleys
The ones in my city still do fine. I have friends who participate in bowling leagues. It is a lot of fun and a low stress sport. Its a great way to go out and drink beer with friends and have a good time.
>arcades
Those were always a ripoff. Nobody wants to pay $1 to play a shitty game for 3 minutes and lose.

When I was a kid my arcade had special nights where all the games were free but it cost like $15 to get in at the door. Those were fun nights. There was always a huge line on the Tekken game and the winner would keep playing as new challengers kept coming and going. Sometimes I could stay on the game for like 20 fights before somebody beat me.

Saddest part is that they needed a study to know that participation in the community would decrease when you destroyed the community.

Different races (and there ARE different races) can absolutely work together, they can trade, even have mutually beneficial interactions. They can't live together without issues though, just like different cultures can't exist together without problems.

>>131220354
Kids got into cell phones, and stopped hanging out at the mall. The lack of kids killed the malls. Ironic, when you consider that most mall businesses wanted to get rid of kids.

i remember in the 90's malls actually had cool stores, lots of novelty/entertaining stuff to buy/see/do. and arcades. most malls still around just have clothing stores that all sell variations of the same shit. along with several closed/closing store spaces. no new, indoor shopping malls have been built in US since 2006.

>>131220354

I can tell you, the malls in my area have no short supply of Blacks, Mexicans, and Muslims.

Not really true, they want to get rid of non-paying kids. The same fucks that go to a mcdonalds, buy a drink, and then refill it for the 8 hours their parents are at work.

If they were quiet, or even semi-behaved, they wouldn't be an issue. However, the average teenager these days is a disrespectful little shit that no one wants to be around.

I'm a manager at an arcade that isn't D&B or Chuckie Cheese. Arcades are still popular if you happen to live near one.

>>131220494

Not entirely this, but this is probably the majority reason. There are a shit load of malls in Orlando, all the ones in the more "diverse" areas have closed and one is in the process of closing down. Online shopping is another facet, but if that were the only one then why do we have 4 other malls in affluent areas going strong?

Bowling alley are pretty full here in middle TN. Lots of them are open late night and sell alcohol so it's a nice alternative to bar/club for evenings out.

>>131220962
I've been to a few places where the bowling alley is the town bar and it's pretty fun and a nice place to hang out.

Malls are to America as coral reefs are to the sea, their death is a harbinger of doom, as the reefs die so does the sea, as the malls die, so does America.

>>131222113

There is only one that's good in Nashville area but it's pretty fun, hadn't been to one since 90s so it was a walk down memory lane, open fiarly late too.

Not packed but during 10pm or so still had a ~15 still there.

>>131222410
Kind of like you with the brown people in your country

The death of the American mall is fascinating to me.

From what I've gathered, they still seem to thrive in upscale suburbs. I visited a large mall in the northwest Chicago suburbs a few months ago and it was packed with people, and those people seemed to actually be buying.

Outside of that niche though, their days are numbered. My hometown of 90,000 people just had the Sears, Macy's, and Penney's close in the span of a few weeks, so it's done.

When you can buy literally anything on Amazon for cheaper than what brick and mortar stores are selling it for, have it arrive in two days, and not have to deal with sales people, malls are simply the latest in a long line of American staples rendered obsolete by technology.

This is the correct answer. Niggers ruined suburban malls just like they ruined the urban outdoor markets. Whites keep moving further and further away to escape them, eventually we will just stay in our homes and never leave except to work. Diversity ruins everything.

>>131222864
did you post in the wrong thread, you fucking autismotron

>>131222686
The official nomenclature is either shopping center or commons, but we all know they're fucking strip malls.

Seen my first flash mob at a mall last weekend in Biloxi, MS. 50-75 nigger teenagers invades the mall and chimping out. Honestly sounded like the monkey exhibit at the zoo. We noped the fuck out

That might be the case actually. We don't have niggers at all where I live, and our malls are thriving. However, I go to some large city and they're just shut down.

>>131220354
They will have to provide something you can't buy online, like fresh food, unless restaurants beat them to it, but then again Americans don't care much if it's natural fresh or not.

Malls in general have declined mostly due to the advent of online shopping and that most average Americans don't have a lot of expendable income anymore if any. It's also worth noting that people had no qualms about going into massive amounts of debt before the turn of the 21st century.

These days most American's are luckily enough to have any kind of credit, let alone massive spending limits. Also prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union the idea of an inevitable nuclear holocaust pushed more people towards credit cards and heavy spending since it wouldn't matter when the bombs fell.

Slightly related, when my grandparents bought a new house back in the 60s they specifically picked a first-strike zone so they wouldn't live to see the aftermath of a nuclear war, kind of fucked up but understandable.

Arcades started their decline around the crash of 83 and 84 and now mostly exist as novelties or historical exhibits. Some chains like Round 1 in high-pop areas do fairly well since arcade cabinets have largely moved towards special experiences not found on consoles or PCs.

You can't have large urban spaces like that without social trust, and no one trusts niggers.

During the heyday of shopping malls when they were being built left and right, it was well known that every city had a white mall and a nigger mall.

Once the nigger mall inevitably closed down due to crime and poor sales, the darkies went to the other mall, eventually driving the white people out. Then, of course, those malls closed, too.

Malls always had a limited shelf life. It was how retailers expanded their markets in the 70's, when mail order via catalog was the only alternative to going to a huge Sears or JC Penny, or going to small stores in out of the way places - and was part of the rise of fast food, as a lot of chains started in malls.
Now, retailers don't need malls, and most people don't like having to drive, fight for a parking space, fight crowds, to buy the shit they need - and it's even worse during the holidays. The mall near me is a fucking madhouse for Xmas, the entire month, from Thanksgiving to Xmas eve, you can't avoid almost complete gridlock in that part of town, because of the mall.
Amazon and online shopping? Fucking heaven. I can order something, and have it at my door the next day - and they're getting better at same day.
70's-80's was the Mall. 90's was all about boutiques. Since 2000, it's all online and Amazon. It's evolution, in action. Malls were a means to an end, for the retail industry, and now they don't need them, so they'll die a slow death. Most malls now charge too much for rent, anyway. Most of them are a waste of space, and with the people who go there, more and more dangerous every year. The parking structure at the mall near me has police alerts constantly, from the niggers preying on people there.
Amazon is the new Sears. Once upon a time, people bought everything from sears, mail order, even houses. We're back to that. Malls and "mall culture" are over.

Strip malls are dying out, fast. The ones around me, which have been here since the 80's, are going fast - they get their rents jacked up, the original companies who were there decades leave, then it's a rotating door of massage/nail joints, then it's torn down and something new built. The only function strip malls are the satellite shops at the mall near me, the same ones you see at every mall now - Panda Express, Jamba Juice, AT&T.

Brick and mortar as a whole is dying. You just can't compete with Amazon.

Malls are the MSM of shopping.

Someone explain to me how crime even fucking happens in a mall. Its a large enclosed space and youre surrounded by hundreds of people.

>>131220494
Unironically this. No point going to a mall where there might be niggers around ruining everything when you can just shop for anything you want online

Malls have become after-school centers for teenage niggers. Strip malls are a big thing now because no air conditioning so cheaper to operate and it don't attract them.

Physical spaces are decreasing in size and online spaces are increasing in size. 20 years from now people won't be crying about the malls anymore, but instead how nobody can afford a McMansion. You'll be updating your Instacrack and shitposting on 4chan in your tiny Japanese style apartment.

Got a family member in Upper management for an international mall company. They still exist and are doing amazingly well in higher class areas. They have been selling off the lower-income area malls for the last decade or so because of competition from online retailers, but the higher end areas are doing better than ever.

Outdoor malls are also starting to catch on in a big way. Expect more and more of those coming very soon.

Where are all these malls closing?

I'm yet to see one close down, I live in NJ

Around me are 4 malls (Short Hills, Bound Brook, Jersey Gardens, some other one). They've all been open for years. I went to Jersey Gardens for the first time in 2 years this weekend, and it was packed as fuck.

Crossroads Mall in Oklahoma City

Used to be one of the biggest malls in the country. People from around the state flocked there, it was packed every day.

They can't compete. imo malls need to have more promotions similar to steam fire sales. Things like xx% off for the next 45 minutes where you have to go in person. That way it appeals to human brains like gambling.

They arcade owners are still trying to use Nintendo 64 games in their stores. The shit graphics, stale replay value, and a world that lacks depth is not appealing in itself and it sure as hell doesn't warrant blowing big money to sit there and play on the same machine as you did when you were growing up.
The only thing I find worthwhile at an arcade is ski ball, but every time I go there are screaming kids everywhere and niggletts walking up the machine to manually place the ball in the best hole. The tickets are worthless because you can just cut the middle math and buy it the exact same shit from >>>/g/61065382 for even less than you invested buying shit tokens.
On the subject of tokens, I'm not fucking paying tons of money to throw a plastic ball up a ramp.

>>131229059

You mean loafers? Sure. But it depends on how formal we're talking. If it's a black tie event, black loafers with your tux. If they're leather loafers for the office, just make sure to pair it correctly with your belt. If they're suede, it doesn't matter as much.

Make sure to use complimentary color combos. If it doesn't look weird for your belt, it'll be fine for your shoes. My personal go-to color combo is a vibrant navy/cobalt blue with a cordovan. I usually go with monk-strap for this, but a tassle loafer can look pretty sick, too.

>>131220354

>What happened to all the malls

I personally never liked indoors malls. They're sterile and creepy and the smooth 80's jazz just makes it more so. A tomb is more inviting and comfortable then an abandoned mall.

On top of this, niggers are spreading outwards into older suburbs from the 40's and 50's. Almost all malls with niggers infesting in it will lead into a downfall of people wanting to go there.

>bowling alleys

Peoples interests change? This isn't the 50's anymore. Also they still exist.

>Arcades

Arcades started seeing a rapid decline by the mid 90's as computer hardware became cheaper and cheaper. The 5th Generation Primarily was one of the final blows especially with how cheap CD games were on the PS1 to play the same game as you could in the arcades. >>131228553 summed it up.

>And does their absence signify anything?

Convenience. I can buy all my shit online with better deals and use my time more productive.

Very good reason why these stores are dying, especially Sears/Kmart. They been struggling since the 90's, a very slow but noticable death that has to do with their inability to change to the environment. Brick & Mortar isn't dead. Stores like Wal-Mart and Target are alive and kicking because they feel welcoming and not rundown shitters with awful deals and terrible service.

thats the thing though, because of this the traditional arcade is dead, but instead of evolving into something different, they still do not change their mindset leading into bankruptcy. If arcades started to allow people to bring in their own set ups and charging accordingly, doing membership programs, making games 25-75 cents a game and what not, it would be a whole different story than what we are seeing now with arcades.

You would be surprised how many people i see bring their towers over to the local gaming spot I go to for smash tournaments and pay 20$ for 2 hours of high speed internet and games
But if kids who wanted a place to get away from their parents and play some games with their friends, why not charge them 10$ a person for 2 hours and includes internet and a good TV to play on, 5$ for a rental remote if you are short on them, and 5$ for a game rental that can be switched in and out for as long as you are there? Whats wrong with that?

Everything in kmart is yellow. There is no "clean new white". Its got the same feeling as walking into one of those flea markets that some dick set up in an old store that went out of business in the 80s and he bought for whatever reason and now rents out stalls to different rednecks why want to try their hand at retail.
With a look like that, they simply cant compete against someone like walmart with their 5000k lighting, clean white shelves, and overall sterile feeling nomatter how disgusting the store actually is.

I dont know where you live, but that $20 for only 2 hours of internet is not attractive either. here, 100mpbs is only $30 a month.

There is nothing wrong with the idea, especially the thing getting away from people. You reminded me of an xbox arcade someone set up over here. They had those "gaming chairs" that they tried to push a few years back, the curved L shape that rocked. It seemed like a chill place but the vibe I got was that the only people there just couldn't afford an xbox fo their own. It was basically a similar trap to those "rent to own" places poor people always get suckered into.

Hosting a lan party as opposed to an arcade could be profitable given the right location, though I dont see that happening in my area.
I get the feeling you live in a larger city.

I do have to say the community aspect of a clean, modern, and relaxed setting does sound good, almost nostalgic. Reminds me of those videos of computer arcades or whatever the Japanese are actually using as apartments

from St Louis, and im aware that 20$ is not attractive at all, thats why i proposed 10$ for 2hours + internet along but you are allowed to bring in your own equipment and games. If you don't the store can provide equipment for 5$ and a game rental that can be swapped at any time for a different game for 5$ that is good for the whole day.
No one ever set up anything like xbox arcades, but some of the card playing joints that evolved into these goofy console arcades that did what i suggested, did this with LAN parties and LAN leagues in the 2000s. Also hosted many different tournaments and currently host Smash4, Marvel vs Capcom 3, Overwatch, and League. This is another thing on why the classic arcade is dying, very few arcades are hosting tournaments in popular esports games, or games in general. But when they do, it is often ran by themselves and not the community that is being hosted so it runs into terrible problems like bad bracket seeding, bad rules etc.

From my experience, social outings are just sort of in a decline. I grew up in a rural area, and we had a bowling alley and movie theater. By the time I graduated high school, they had both shut down. I originally thought it was just the town depopulating, but it seems to be a larger trend.

I can't speak for everywhere in the US, but I think it really is just the case that people don't go out as much, full stop. I've moved around a bit, and it looks like even a lot of bars have to sell food just to stay open. It's just easier to game online, shop online, watch movies online, find women online, etc. And I don't think I'm less social. It's just that my social life now is just playing cards or some shit with my gf and my buds and maybe picking up some hooch from the liquor store.

Of course, this could just be me turning into an old man, but this is just my take on it.

This. Negroes and spics are becoming more suburbanized through subsidized housing. They obviously retain their primitive cultures.

Some malls have stopped letting anyone underage in on certain days - Friday and Saturday for example.

How about not allowing anytime with out an adult, require ID, charging token fee, say a dollar or two, trouble-making = Lifetime ban. Could possibly save *some* malls.

There's a gaming center, similar to an internet cafe but with gaming PCs, high speed internet, and preloaded games, near San Diego.

Malls are falling out of style because of how things are vs how they were back then.

I know for a fact that when the nigger population rises every business starts to get out. Could also be that online shopping is easier but not everyone has access to the internet.

I dont know why but when niggers start to infest community places like malls and parks they tend to fall apart due to increase crime and that generally niggers are very unpleasant.

>>131239309
An arcade in my hometown has survived by focusing on being a 'family fun center' and cutting back on video games. It's called Scandia, there are a few of them in California. They scaled back the vidya and pinball and put in more modern games that take up more space and aim at attracting the smartphone generation. They also have skee-ball, air hockey, basketball and other assorted physical activity games. Their driving source of business is the outdoor activities - go-karts, mini golf, boats, batting cages.

Because niggers ruin everything. Even other niggers admit this. I'm from the SF Bay Area, and here is a quick rundown of what happened to my town's entertainment options within a span of 15 years:
>roller skating rink closes due to gang violence
>pool hall shuts down due to being surrounded by ghettos and the crime and violence that comes with them
>bowling alley closed due to niggers selling drugs and fighting constantly there
>table tennis center opens, closes within a year due to niggers breaking everything
>largest public park and swimming pool gets section 8 housing all around it, proceeds to become niggified and abandoned by whites, now overrun with homeless and drug addicts
>mall filled with niggers, creating an unpleasant and unsafe environment - about ten years ago a guy was executed in the parking lot in an unsolved gang hit during peak evening shopping hours on a Friday night
>bike path built through middle of city with small playgrounds and benches for people to enjoy being outside - niggers drink on benches all day and deal drugs in playgrounds, bike path now unsafe in the day and a death trap after dark
There is nothing for people to do, so they stay home. All of the above plus rampant crime and nogging has caused white flight to other towns. Meanwhile gentrification of San Francisco and some parts of Oakland has pushed the ghettoest of niggers out into the surrounding cities, with mine being the last stop.

>>131226103
The only reason I go to arcades if for pinball since you can't really emulate it like a video game. Plus most now have bars so they can make actual money on alcohol.

Still, I only go to these places if they have a "free night"

>>131220494
Never had the problem, that I remember. Was great hanging out with friends though.

Malls are booming here, its hard to find a parking spot, most people arent rich so it has nothing to do with money. But we have a pretty homogeneous society, that may come into play.

Keeping the nogs out, if in a decent neighborhood would likely increase profits. The fee alone would probably do the trick.

Amusingly, my nearest K-mart became an antique store like you describe there when it moved out of the mall.
And yet, the one further across town still managed to become a more depressing place despite being in a newer building.
Walking into that place (before it closed a few months ago) felt like stepping 20 years into the past until you started to notice things that didn't exist in the '90s spread across sparsely filled shelves.

The niglets would sometimes jump over into my yard to steal my veggies and tobacco plants and they always made me feel uneasy because I can feel their jealousy whenever I got home with tons of groceries.

I even had to set up a pick up from the post office system with my mail because they stole a 50$ fan I ordered from amazon.

Well as of 2 months ago the section 8 complex is being converted into an apartment complex. I haven't seen 1 shit skin in 2 weeks and have seen piles of shit in front of the building.

Now the only section 8 housing is in Harrisburg and other shitty towns. Ive even seen less of them in nice shopping centers.

The only ones Ive seen are the ones adopted by old married couples and those dudes arnt that bad. still ugly though

I just moved to the Bay Area (San Jose) and I was looking at some of the malls around here.

Vallco in Cupertino I bet was once one of the most beautiful malls ever. It is a pity that the only thing left there is the movie theater.

I had some niggers try to rob me at the Tanforan mall in San Bruno. I just came out to my car and they jumped out of a minivan and demanded my phone and wallet and keys to my car.

Fortunately for me a Police Officer was driving by and arrested them. It felt really good watching them look at me with such hate. (funniest part was they first tried to pretend they knew me, then changed the story to I called them niggers. Niggers really are such liars.)

I just wish for a world without niggers. What a happy place that would be.

Nigger hives. Malls in white areas like New England and the PNW are doing fine.

>>131220354

Arcades suck. They should peddle large rooms with big tvs with every console and serve alcohol.
Probably get $20 an hour to play. More for upgraded rooms with service.
Millenials would eat that shit up.
Fuck it, sell $15 "gourmet" grilled cheeses, fucking faggots.
With 5 rooms you could probably make $1200 a day in time alone.

(If going to Atlanta and flying into the airport NEVER take the airport train to where the hotels are. Take a cab, uber, lyft or anything else. Niggers stalk the train and rob people. Nigger mayor of Atlanta doesn't give a shit so the police can't do their job)

Pic - white liberals doing a "Black Lives Matter" rally in the mall. All chanting "I can't breathe" and "hands up, don't shoot".

They were there because niggers were booted from the mall and they were protesting it. I hate white liberals more then niggers.

Traveling salesmen - truly a dark time in human history.

Malls and similar venues have been hotbeds for anti-social behaviour.
Given a choice most people would avoid them hence why they are all dead thanks to the internet.

sO MANY niggers at the malls these days. Back when shit was segregated in the 2000s they had their own malls and shit they would go to but they closed down so now they go to the white malls.

My hobby is taking photos of arcades. It's a faggy hobby, but I can at least make a confident reply when someone asks about arcades.
>Barcade (a chain of bars in NYC with large arcades) was such a hit in New York that nearly every decent-sized city nowadays has a Barcade clone. Some suck, but others have very legit spreads. I'm particularly fond of Up-Down in the midwest.
>Dave and Busters can also be found everywhere. On top of that, it's so popular that many clones of it have also been popping up everywhere.
>Round 1, a line of Japanese arcades with a gigantic selection of imported games, moved into America a few years ago. Their handful of locations have been so successful that they're opening around 10 new locations a year. It'll take them a while to get to less traveled states at this rate, but their success is a great sign.
>Family Fun Centers seem to be doing great in the current climate. I know of three small chains that have recently been able to expand due to their success.

Arcades are doing the best they've been since the DDR craze of the early 00s. They've just switched formats in recent years.

I'm not a photographer, I just like visiting arcades I haven't been to and taking (usually phone, because using a camera gets the staff asking questions) pictures of anything interesting I find. Last week I found a shitty boardwalk arcade that had all four Crusin' games for some inexplicable reason.

I like to think I'm preserving their memory in case they shut down.

>Those were always a ripoff. Nobody wants to pay $1

that was only later on when the simple arcade games you see in say MAME, your Donkey Kong/Pacman etc were replaced with full sized sit down machines etc.

other wise they were clearly a social thing for kids back in the day.

Malls mostly died when the internet started to replace needing to go a store to see what one could even buy in the first place. All the unique mom and pop stores got replaced by Forever 21 and it's clones. Just no point to go there unless you are a teen girl looking for clothing.

The rebirth of the mall is going to be on the higher end. Like Sacramento has Arden Fair that's trying to do that but it's still mostly a nigger fest. It's staying alive due to it's whoop ass location.

but the real killer mall in the area is the Westfield Galleria up in Roseville. High end suburb area where a lot of whites from Sacramento moved to 20+ years ago.

Remove the niggers and other trash, have unique shops and cute chicks all over the place. It's just not like that at most malls anymore. When you go there you can see why Malls where so popular back in the day. I mean look at the pic, that's a cool place to roam around.

Oh, same here obviously, but it's not like they were doing it without a plan to replace it with consolidated foreign shops/services such as the ones available in malls.

How are the bookstores in Poland? Do you have small bookstores, big chains, one big chain + some smaller ones, or what?

Recently they managed to economically ruin our biggest publisher/bookstore chain, that first put all its small competitors out of business over the last 15 years, so now everything is fucked, they're selling bookstore locations and it looks like selling books in physical stores will die as a business.

This is a thing now. A few popping up around me. These "gaming lounges" appeal to teenagers mainly and some older gamers into tournaments like smash, CSGO, LOL etc.

You can pay by the hour and play on Co soles old and new and play on high end gaming rigs. They're gaining traction. They also have tabletop games and MTG/yugioh.

I hope it's the modern "arcade". It's great because nogs can't just go to loiter.

That happened 30 years ago. Most of /pol/ probably isn't even older enough to remember a time before that. Beat-em-ups and fighting games were basically the only "normal" cabs that were still around in the 90s (also whatever happened to be loaded onto the Neo-Geo).

>>131227185
Yeah outdoor malls are getting big. Easier to run and more money for everyone

worst part of going out is the "human" interaction. it's a bit of an oxymoron, because the conversations are scripted to get you to sign up for their email, register for their loyalty card or give your social security for a credit card.

No. I just wanted this one item. I'll be paying with cash and exact change because i'm planned this out in advanced.

>>131246291
An hourly fee is the key to getting rid of nogs and other undesirables. The reason they infest places is because it is free. Charge a modest fee, $5-10 an hour, and watch them disappear.

>>131220354

It's a nasty chain of events.

Malls flourished when we had a strong middle class, but that timer starting ticking down as wealth began to be concentrated in ever-larger amounts, shoving more and more good paying jobs off in favor of "service-related" (read: you want fries with that?) employment, which in reality doesn't generate jack shit for income by comparison.

Without enough middle class shoppers, malls became more and more deserted. They instead went after lower-class shopping, which drew in niggers and ghettoized the areas, which finished off the job completely and left many malls dead zones.

Some manage to rebrand as a sorta super-food court, with as many restaurants as possible since people still do tend to spend a bit of their checks on a meal out. But rich people don't do malls, and there aren't enough blue or white collar jobs to support the malls that exist in suburbia. Bonus: the death of malls also accelerates the losses of service jobs, driving the cycle even faster.

It's a sign of the oligarchy and obscene levels of wealth concentration. It takes wealth circulating through the middle class to support something like a mall, and the wealth has gone elsewhere. Strangely enough, the places malls still tend to thrive are in oil country, where there's still enough money pumping through the local economy for people to be buying enough- and keep the really poor trash out.

Even bowling alleys here are on the sharp decline like much of the rest of the world, and local arcades are inseparable from malls. In almost all of those arcades the current dance game is Just Dance or Dance Central.

This but its not that theyre niggers per se but more that theyre unsightly and obnoxious in gangs and as teenegers.

BUT ITS ALSO BECAUSE people are just ugly. No one wants to look at even white people anymore because no one dresses nicely. The mall is a place to wear fucking pajamas and a bun instead of combing your hair and putting on some clothes.

This is a problem fucking everywhere is lazy ass Americans who dont want to look decent in public and make everything look terrible. I hate looking at fucking hipsters with their rings in their wherever and a fucking tank top. Im so sick of people basically wearing rags to places. How fucking hard is it to put on CLOTHES.
