4. Big business as usual
Not unlike the CEO's at Transocean who received giant safety bonuses after destroying the Gulf of Mexico.

5. Next time you buy a book on-line from Amazon.com, you will be part of the process that killed the
big box book store, which killed the main street booksellers.

The thing about Borders that I still like is that it is a sort of public space, one of the last, where one can sample the product at one's own pace to one's heart's content, morning, noon and night.

6. Used to work there. Hoarders needs to go away completely.
They've always treated their workers poorly, and are anti-union.
