The Kid with A lot to Say

What is happening to our economy? Mervyn's announced that they would be closing all of their stores within a few months. Now Circuit City is planning on closing 155 of their stores by the end of the year or the start of next year. Circuit City was a store that I loved to visit from time to time. Actually a majority of the electronics that I own, were purchased at Circuit City. Except for a laptop computer that I purchased earlier this year. I purchased the laptop at Best Buy for only 450 bucks. According to the local newspaper, Circuit City has decided to not close the El Paso locations. Who knows for sure? The way I view this whole situation is, Circuit City will eventually close all of their stores. Then within a few months, they will operate as a web based online store. It seems like everybody is shopping online anyways. To be honest with you, Best Buy has better prices and a better selection of items than Circuit City. El Paso has three Best Buy store locations and two Circuit City locations. I hope that all of the employees that will be laid off, can find employment A.S.A.P. Why do companies always have to lay off workers during the holiday season?
