I still go to some brick and mortar stores, but they must pass a couple of tests first: (1) They must be local. I will support local small business. (2) They must not be in a mall. I will never ever ever go to a mall. I don’t care what shop is in that mall, whatever is in the shop, I don’t need badly enough to go to a mall.
If I want something and I can’t find it locally, e.g., our local bookstore closed, I will as a last resort go to Amazon, or directly to the manufacturer. Otherwise if I don’t need it, I don’t buy.
Gwen Ifill was a mainstay on the Public Broadcasting System’s (PBS’s) News Hour, and was a trained print and broadcast journalist for north of 35 years. She was tough, she was fair, she was HONEST, and she was funny. Her insights and questions forced both the respondent and the audience to think. This is a sad day for everyone who values the truth.
