The "going out of business" signs have gone up at our local Big Lots discount shop.
#BigLots #Retail #Ohio

An empty orange shopping cart with the words Big Lots sits in a parking lot in front of a shop. A sign above the wide sliding entrance doors reads "Big Lots Entrance." Between that sign and the sliding doors is a vinyl banner that reads "Closing" in huge letters. Two big signs are posted on the doors. One reads "store closing" and the other reads "Entire store up to 25% off." The pavement of the parking lot has numerous cracks.

An old advertisement for Coca Cola. A hand holds a glass bottle surrounded by the words "I'd like to buy the world a Coke." However, some of the words have been crudely superimposed by new text. Now it reads "I'd like to take away the world's mouse so they have to test their own website with a keyboard."

One obvious reason this could be the case, despite the stimulus impact of the war, is that a lot of dotcoms / tech companies are highly sensitive to the stock market, VC funding, etc.
IOW, revenue from the stock market & VC funding suddenly disappeared, leaving them at the mercy of high rate loans, due to the historically high Russian central bank key rate.
And so, huge swathes of high tech are at risk of debt spirals and ever-increasing rates on loans.
