Just a year ago, our president with Blue-lips praised THE GAP, on newscasts everywhere, for raising their minimum wage to $10/hr. A year later the gap just shut 175 stores (1/4 of its stores) and cut 250 headquarter gigs. Socialism takes another wounded veteran. The capital hill store is closing FreeThomas, where are you going to shop?

    Are you starting to see the problem tommy as it relates to business? The market sets wages, not the socialist ignoramus' on the gap bored. See how your beliefs in $15 /hr could really hurt business tommy? Now you got free pub and a free introductory lesson in economics. Luck you

    Jake from State Farm can only buy so many khakis.

    RIP, Gap. Maybe if you hadn't jumped on the grow-grow-grow share price merry go round, you'd have built out at a sustainable pace.

    Same shit happened to Best Buy.
