>what killed american consumerism?
Blacks given mass transit (buses) to shopping areas. Plain and simple. The whole point of malls was that the stores could no longer operate in peace and safety in the city, so they built storefront shopping complexes in remote suburban areas.

No one wants to use mass transit. No one wants to drive through slums to shop. No one wants to pay extra to live in the city outside of slums. The whole point of cities was to maximize efficient use of resources with proximity while keeping savages out. Now they are full of savages so the entire equation is now backwards. No cities, no civilization. No network of exurbs and suburbs is going to survive if you keep expanding the areas savages can access.

Or you can say its climate change. Tf do I care. I'm not going to argue what is obvious.
