Not least because a post from one of my Zionist detractors, which openly calls for me to be “battered ...

Walmart led the charge by closing as many as four stores in Chicago. The store closures in the Windy City followed similar moves in Portland, where the Arkansas-based company closed down locations due to being "unprofitable."

"The simplest explanation is that collectively, our Chicago stores have not been profitable since we opened the first one nearly 17 years ago," Walmart said in a statement. "These stores lose tens of millions of dollars a year, and their annual losses ...
