Full Walmartification

SI: January 15, 2015

133 stores closed

17,600 jobs lost

Target bought Zellers in 2011 which was a Canadian-based retailer founded in 1931. Now the final wind-down has begun. Even Target can't compete with Walmart anymore.

Soon we will just order shit directly from China and have it drop shipped to the front door via drone. Cut out the "middle man" formerly-known-as the domestic economy. 

When I say "we" I mean the five people who still have jobs.
