Whose fault is this now?
Malls charged too much for rent, and raised the prices, so the average consumer does not want to spend the money there now.
product quality has taken a hit, and no one wants to buy things.
Mom's basement is too small, so the millennials do not have the room for all the crap. They can either have poorly made Chinese consumer goods, or mlp/antifa stuff, and they are choosing the latter.
the married, middle class consumers of the 80s are gone, and is never coming back. As a result you will have to adapt to the more frugal single millennials with student loan debt and no useful skills.
They will buy a handful of things at wallmart and target, bigger things online, and live a lifestyle that does not have that many material possessions. They are people that are not good for retail sales. They are the people that the corporate left made, and they are the people that will destroy the corporate left because they can not afford/ do not want to buy anything.

I'm a little proud at how long it took me to figure out what the hell MLP is.

I refuse to type that out.
when i was a child, they had this trope of the crazy veteran coming home and seeing all the men turned into nancy boys.
I have learned the hard way that this was not a joke, but a warning, and how important it is to pay attention and not be lulled into complacency.
I get out of the navy, go to college, and discover adult men are watching a cartoon about ponies. Not just watching the fucking cartoon, but buying the toys and jerking off to fan made porn.
I fully understand the horror that my grandfather's generation must have felt when they returned home from the first actions in Vietnam to discover hippies.
