Amazon kills everything.
GameStop (and EB Games by extension) has a very high chance of disappearing before the end of this year, mostly thanks to digital purchases of video games and Amazon for video game merchandise (and GameStop/EB Games already has a good chance of going under even without COVID-19, given that COVID-19 gave GameStop/EB Games a little boost due to stay-at-home orders in various states and provinces).
Party City is also hard hit, thanks to the class of 2020 becoming thrifty and low-key.
PetCo is hit very hard as well since there's much fewer demand to buy pets and pet supplies (since having pets is major upkeep (and stay-at-home orders present fewer opportunities to walk one's pet(s)), as well as an increase in abandoned pets due to pets being major upkeep). Looks like the baseball stadium in San Diego's going to get a new name within the next few years.
Shoe chain Aldo seeks bankruptcy protection to restructure debt
MAY 7, 2020
Footwear retailer Aldo Group Inc. began a court restructuring process Thursday after the pandemic shuttered stores and worsened the company’s already-struggling business.
The Montreal-based company operates about 3,000 stores worldwide. It requested court protection through the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act in Canada and is seeking similar protection in the U.S., Aldo said in a statement.

Amazon kills everything.
That bald bellend has never got a penny out of me and never will.
But people are lazy and cheap so.....his workers can keep getting sacked for demanding better pay and conditions whilst the bald man gets more and more obscenely wealthy at the same time as he asks for government money to help top-up pay.
I'm going to start judging people who buy through Amazon soon.
Amazon should give a raise to all the warehouse employees. Some of their warehouses have been described as being furnaces (and a few Amazon warehouse employees in the United States died of heat exhaustion). Oh, and Amazon should improve their working conditions as well.I think I might have purchased one thing from Amazon. My wife is the amazon shopper though. Seriously though, companies like Amazon need to give back a lot more than they do. Tax them more, limit their growth. We will basically have Amazon an Walmart and that's about it. It's disgusting.
