        An place that supports consumerism that therefore supports more exploitation so some rich people can continue to exploit humanity to enforce their artificial of power through money over humanity

        Humans should live to be human and be free to express themselves freely, not be money making livestock to the few that enforce that power through money structure over humanity

          And a great place to go for walks if you are in need of rehab. Flat, level, ground and climate controlled.

            Here in Florida all the OG indoor malls have been abandoned, and developers keep building these new “outdoor” malls.

            Outdoor. Malls. In Florida. Where it’s hot.

            And people keep going there because there’s a new Sugar Factory or Fogo de Chão…

              My inner urbanist despises these outdoor malls (at least the ones I’ve seen in Canada).

              It’s essentially an artificial car-free downtown surrounded by a massive parking lot, and rarely served by public transportation. Why don’t we just build walkable downtowns instead? Is it because these are just suburbanites LARPing walkable living?

        It’s a rodent that my cat likes to hunt outside and bring home as trophies.

          No, you’re thinking of a mouse. A mall is when the top of something reaches a relatively high elevation. Like a giraffe or a multi story building.

            No, you are thinking of tall. A mall is actually something tiny. For example, a raspberry is mall.

      Here in Adelaide, Australia most of our malls are still here - probably got to do with the fact all our malls key stores just happen to be grocery stores, or Walmart style stores (sans groceries) like Kmart, Target, and Big W.

      Although Myer centre in Adelaide’s Rundle mall (basically a shopping street with no cars) is a bit dead on the top 3 floors - and has been for years now. It’s ground and basement floors are always packed (food court in the basement) though.

        Every mall I’ve been to since like 2018 has just been fewer and fewer shops that aren’t rotating their same, boring stuff often enough.

        And then Auntie Anne’s pretzels, which always slap.
