@melissa_repko this is bc in the $2 trillion stimulus bill there was no relief for retailers, outside of the property improv tax deduction, meanwhile the airline industry received $58 billion. Outside of the big 3 @amazon@WalmartInc@Costco all other retailers need aid asap.
@JRogersK makes a great point on @CNBC - 2019 10K+ stores closed, 19 major retail bankruptcies & it was a record year for retail sales - my outlook for 2020: brick & mortar tsunami w/ 400 malls closing, @Macys shutting 300+ stores - the winners @FedEx@UPS@amazon & @Shopify

Agreed, Brian Cornell mentioned on @CNBC@Target is experiencing daily digital traffic similar to cyber monday - even w/ the #COVID19 lockdown they reported 7% increase in same store sales - #BOPIS & 100% increase in e-commerce @TargetNews also increased their wages for employees
