By the top of this month, there might be no extra Walmart shops in Portland.  Greater than 641,000 individuals reside inside the metropolis limits of Portland, and so you’d suppose that there needs to be some huge cash to be made there.  However Walmart has determined to wave the white flag.  Portland has been reworked into an entire and utter hellhole, and apparently Walmart executives have decided that issues are usually not going to show round any time quickly.  So that they have introduced that the final two Walmart shops in Portland that had been nonetheless operational might be completely shut down by the top of March…

The final two Walmart shops inside Portland’s metropolis limits will shut in late March, the corporate introduced.

The areas, at 1123 North Hayden Meadows Drive and at 4200 Southeast 82nd Avenue on the Eastport Plaza, will each shut on Friday, March 24. Walmart says they’re closing the shops as a result of they weren’t assembly monetary expectations.

A spokesperson for Walmart used very cautious language to elucidate why these shops are being closed…

“The choice to shut these shops was made after a cautious overview of their general efficiency. We think about many components, together with present and projected monetary efficiency, location, inhabitants, buyer wants, and the proximity of different close by shops when making these tough selections. After we determine to maneuver ahead, our focus is on our associates and their transition, which is the case right here,” a spokesperson with Walmart stated.

In fact this isn’t precisely the reality.

However what do you anticipate Walmart to say?

Do you anticipate a company spokesperson to confess that Walmart is leaving Portland as a result of it has grow to be a drug-ridden, crime-infested hellhole?

One buyer that was interviewed concerning the retailer closings addressed the actual motive why Walmart is leaving…

“We gotta resolve the shoplifting a technique or one other,” she added, addressing the subject of retail theft on the metropolis’s areas, “as a result of that’s merely the issue. It’s gotta cease.”

At this level, a lot of Portland has been became a large tent metropolis for the homeless.

And a really excessive share of the homeless are hooked on medication.

The one approach that lots of these addicts can fund their addictions is by theft, and as I famous in an article that I posted yesterday, over 2,600 downtown companies have left Portland lately consequently…

Enterprise house owners are fleeing Portland in droves amid a pronounced rise in crime and homelessness, officers within the Democratic stronghold have revealed.

Public knowledge exhibits that for the reason that pandemic, greater than 2,600 downtown companies have filed modifications of deal with with the U.S. Postal Service to go away their downtown ZIP codes.

A number of big-name employers, such Umpqua Financial institution, have been among the many mass exodus, carried out by house owners who’ve taken subject with the rising crime ranges and homelessness – and the town’s failure to handle it.

We actually are within the midst of the worst drug disaster in the complete historical past of our nation.

And it’s getting worse with every passing 12 months.

Now we have additionally simply discovered that Amazon might be shutting down retail areas in New York Metropolis, Seattle and San Francisco…

Amazon plans to shut eight of its Go comfort shops, the corporate stated Friday, a choice that coincides with a pullback in its bodily footprint and a broader effort to chop prices.

The corporate will shut two Go shops in New York Metropolis, two areas in Seattle, and 4 shops in San Francisco. The shops will shut on April 1, and Amazon stated it would work to assist affected staff safe different roles on the firm.

For sure, all three of these cities are additionally coping with large crime waves which are being fueled by determined drug addicts.

And is it only a coincidence that just about the entire main cities which are having monumental issues with crime are run by Democrats?

Look, the reality is that our complete nation is quickly degenerating throughout us, and that features areas run by Republicans.

However the far left insurance policies which have been applied by radical Democrats throughout America have clearly been an entire failure.

In 2022, the ten states with the best official charges of unemployment had been all run by Democrats…

The ten states with the best unemployment charges in 2022 had been: Nevada (5.4 p.c), whose governor was Democrat Steve Sisolak; Illinois (4.6 p.c), whose  governor was Democrat J.B. Pritzker; Delaware (4.5 p.c) whose governor was Democrat John Carney; Pennsylvania (4.4. p.c), whose governor was Democrat Tom Wolf; New York (4.3 p.c), whose governor was Kathy Hochul; Washington (4.2 p.c), whose governor was Democrat Jay Inslee; Oregon (4.2 p.c), whose governor was Democrat Kate Brown; Michigan (4.2 p.c), whose governor was Democrat Gretchen Whitmer; Connecticut (4.2 p.c), whose governor was Democrat Ned Lamont; and California (4.2 p.c), whose governor was Democrat Gavin Newsom.

Do you suppose that’s only a coincidence?

Sadly, it isn’t simply our society that’s deteriorating.

As Egon von Greyerz has aptly famous, the complete world “has been in a means of self-destruction” for a really very long time…

For a minimum of half a century, the world has been in a means of self-destruction.

Because the decline accelerates, the subsequent part of 5-10 years will embody main political, social, financial in addition to wealth – destruction.

What may be extra heinous than a complete financial and monetary collapse accompanied by a possible World Struggle III that at worst may destroy the world completely.

Sadly, he’s fairly right.

If we keep on this self-destructive path, the results are going to be much more horrible than most individuals are even prepared to think about proper now.

So allow us to hope that we reverse course whereas there may be nonetheless time to take action.

Sadly, evil continues to unfold like wildfire all all through our society, and the clock is ticking.
