So Macy's etc. aren't getting their ass kicked because of online retailers it's because of anti-trade rhetoric? BAC, you are smarter than that.

Please respond to what I am actually saying, not what you want to argue.

Are you of the opinion that WalMart isn't projecting what Trump's anti-trade rhetoric will mean to their business and if they will need to close more stores??

I'm speaking to economic fact BAC. Retail stores have been in trouble for years. Retail stores have been closing for years. This has largely been due to the popularity of online shopping. I'm not saying something new or something we all aren't aware of.

You're getting so caught up in the President you are missing the forest for the trees.

High tariffs and trade wars affect supply chains which affect retailers. That isn't the issue retail is facing right now. Not yet at least.

B&D stuff is pretty amazing. Often 1/2 the price of "professional" grade products. I've often bought their stuff with the intention of using it on one job and throwing it away. However the stuff still worked as new after the job, so I still have it. I have a "cheap" B&D belt sander that is 25 years old...

I'll have to wait 24.75 years to challenge you on this. I recently bought a B&D circular saw to do a small project up at my cabin. I didn't plan well and left my good saw at home. It did the job well...

I'm of the opinion they're smarter than you and will keep their stores open because they aren't afraid your lies are going to hurt business.......

I was talking to a contractor about this just a few hours ago at lunch......he said B&D tools are currently a pile of crap and was worried that they would ruin the Craftsman line by treating them the same as their other lines.........

???.....I wasn't complaining about battery life but continuity......I think it was a year or two......the point is, they chucked the original design and the batteries they are making now don't fit in the screw drivers they were selling then.......

Come this spring, hundreds of large retail outlets are going to shut their doors and with it, thousands of jobs will disappear. Right after slump the savior assumes the throne.

Come on slump suckers!!!! What's your excuse?????
