These are just some of the hundreds of retail companies who were targeted, cellar-boxed, and bankrupted over the last 20 years. Not all of the stories are the same, but they were all targeted to make way for Amazon, Walmart, Target, and in general, eCommerce.
Remember the early days of eCommerce? People didn't want to buy books online, and were even less interested in online clothing purchases. What if it was the wrong size? What if it didn't arrive in time? How do I know it's a real company?
Why would anyone order (3) pairs of shoes online, if you can drive down the street and buy (1) pair in the right size? Just makes sense.
These are just some of the conversations you might remember, and largely the reason why retailers were targeted. Humans like routines and dislike change, so if eCommerce would ever be adopted en masse, it would need some help. Existing retailers would need to be consolidated or destroyed, eliminiating options until only a few remained.
That is essentially where we are today.
This is what my pinnned supply chain data proved, and what GameStop has put an end to.
We were told that the pandemic is the reason for lingering inflation, but in reality, it's because we lost control of our ports and cannot control the goods flowing into our country.
If the pandemic weren't planned, how were so many countries ready-to-go with newly established manufacturing hubs and distribution centers? These were in place prior to 2020, just look at the data.
Amazon was weaponized against consumers, too. By changing their import method and establishing a "private network", they were able to accelerate the bankrupting of the US, by avoiding import duties/taxes. Each time you order from there, you help this happen.
There's a lot more to share, but I'm trying to keep this simple and short. Attached are three images:
- Initial analysis of parcel marketshare, showing Amazon established an effective monopoly in 2023
- Private messages confirming that Meta/FB & Amazon were launching secret "private delivery networks" in Q1 2023

If any elected leader opposes data centers or the reindustrialization of America, just say you support them in Chinese. Make every reply below their posts in Chinese.
They will eventually go insane.

American-made products are not impossible. Stories about iPhones costing $37,000 or laptops costing $100,000 are psy-ops, sometimes pushed by foreign adversaries but more commonly by American corporations that want anything but an upset to the status quo.
Palmer Luckey says companies are exaggerating the cost of American manufacturing to justify staying in China: “They don’t want to admit that it is a choice.” 🇺🇸🇨🇳
“I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who pretend that manufacturing in the U.S. is this impossible, order-of-magnitude problem. A lot of it is very self-serving.
They want to justify why they’re in China. They want to justify why it’s OK for them to stay in China. They know that when sanctions hit as a result of a potential Taiwan conflict, they want to say, ‘Nobody could’ve predicted this, and I had no choice anyway.’
They don’t want to admit that it is a choice.
If Chinese subsidized steel is a third of the price of American unsubsidized steel, a tariff isn’t going to work. But if the price difference really is 30%, then a tariff could bring the American steel industry back.
It’s critically important to get this question right, and there aren’t enough people talking about it.”

Dan Ives reiterated an Outperform rating and $32.00 price target on GameStop Corp. $GME
He elaborates: "GameStop continues its shift from legacy video-game retail into a leaner, profitable collectibles platform, with collectibles now approaching half of the sales mix. GameStop’s edge in trading cards is infrastructure rather than merchandising: a national store network, a decades-old trade-in culture, and an enthusiast base that already treats the store as a place to buy, sell, and swap."
