    Dollar Tree to close 390 Family Dollar
    stores in 2019

    Go ahead... blame it on Trump... I dare you. Never mind that Obama/Biden was in
    office 8 of the prior 10 years.

    Ummmm... ...wrong.

    Biden has been president Since the beginning of 2021, so that's a little
    over three years.

    Trump was president for a full four years.

    So that's seven. So ten years means you're counting three years of Obama.

    Ergo, the total for Biden and Obama is a little over 6 years, loser.




    You also didn't mention the Democrat-caused crash of '08-'09

    Bush was president until the beginning of '09', loser.

    It's amazing how you only perform this analysis when you want to blame Democrats.

    I did a little research on this.

    Dollar Tree bought Family Dollar in 2015...

    ...and then closed 400 stores...

    ...out of something like 8,000 Family Dollar stores...

    ...and a grand total of 17,000 between the two merged entities.

    How is this anything but a business rationalizing itself after merging
    two competing businesses?

    I hear the goal is to close all the unprofitable stores and start
    selling higher priced items to more affluent customers who have
    abandoned the ritzy stores in favor of Walmart and Dollar General.

    I have to choose the lesser of two weevils?

    If you wanna buy cotton shirts and not Dacron®.

    Well if you want to buy extremely shoddy, made in China goods, by all means shop at stores like
    Dollar Tree and Dollar General.
    Things like USB chargers, extension cords that have a fake UL listing on them are shoddy garbage.
    You run the risk of burning down your house using that junk.
