Farewell to Kmart. Shopping at Kmart used to be a socially-viable institution. A kind of homage to Super Walmarts of America.

I remember (happily) back in my childhood of memories of people in Champaign (Illinois) going to KMart as a form of socially-accepted household shopping. As I read from the article, the Kmart stores began back in 1962. Growing up many people were not embarrassed to say that they got their discount stuff at KMart and there was no shame in saying publicly that this or that was bought at a Kmart. Later on, in the 80's, Kmart became a kind of slur word implying lower class and/or ghetto (also increasing in poverty status in the 90's). I stopped hearing any reference to Kmart once the Walmart explosion altered the American household shopping scene. Then there were a plethora of SUPER WALMARTS.

I had to rely on walking over one mile to a Super Walmart back when I lived in Pensacola after the terrorist organization forced a potentially deadly car crash in a "freak" sick accident that included a migrant worker literally using a grass blower taking the instrument as he blew grass from the side of a busy road I was driving upon to blow dirt directly into my windshield as the terrorist driving the car right in front of me stopped dead in the middle of the road, causing my car to be smashed so badly I had to completely scrap it at the junk yard. The terrorists had also broken my seat belt the week prior to this terror incident thus trying to literally murder me. This happened on my very first day in Grad School at the University of Florida in Pensacola.
I thus had to walk over one mile in that condition to be able to buy food from the terror operation apartment building which I had signed a contract in order to attend grad school. Asides from that:

I discovered that Super Walmarts are an all-in-one life-saving choice for shopping if you do not have a car, if you can't drive to multiple places and the quality of the items is not as flimsy as in Kmart clothing and products (but Kmart was acceptable and often extremely good quality). Yet Walmarts, in particular Super Walmarts, although deemed a kind of working class symbol of grass-munching consumerism, are extremely incredible for people who are in the position I was forced into (also no bus service provided adequate access, as buses lumbered down this one-mile stretch at a once per hour pace, which made shopping very arduous and getting anywhere past 6 pm impossible).


Still, a way of living is now almost dead. The last remnants remain in Illinois of this former shining blue light special (or was that the red light special-) of the Kmart universe. RIP to another memory of having grown up in Illinois.

Ameica really needs those ole Kmart "Dollar Days" back: (don't miss Martha Stewart claiming that "class is imagination and not how much you spend" line for the first commercial filmed back when she looked like a completely different homemaker, promoting places like Kmart which were considered "chic" but not expensive by the advertising campaign reps and some American people as well.: But when I was growing up even at the beginning of the Kmart empire, shopping at Kmart was not a sign of consumer chich it was considered working class and/or lower class even back in it's heyday.

Ongoing physical mutilation terrorist report: the slashing under my fingernails and cuticles so that elevated bloodied swelling continues, the fingernails and fingers swollen, cuticles completely severed-off my toes and fingers, in addition to poisons put on my toenails to harden the nails into coarse, hard plastic texture never-growing deformed twisted and blackened. The mechanical arms are constantly going underneath all the layers of protection I wear every night also into my scalp to make hair fall out--falling out in clumps once more so the little bit left on my scalp is mostly gone.//While ugly shitalina the filth torture prostituted Nazi bigot of Whorewood with the German ape scumbag rapist her ally in utter genocidal violence, promoted by Trump and the Nazi 4th Reich and Gotti dynasty mafia with Stallone, et al (gmbh ltd English monarchy ltd) and once the slash under my skin they inject poisons, or foreign substances or materials so the "mind control "terror regime can continue for HOURS upon my waking from hate skits forced into my sleep state while being teleported, while they are slashing into my body and my consciousness is teleported outside of my "prime" body.//Every day dirty ugly shitalina has her rape dirty foul "men" and herself laugh about my breasts while I am getting undressed--the poisons she laughed about having her dirty nazi scum and brown and black and jewish minions pour into my body every day for the past 15 years, with my family, neighbors, and the 4th reich death squads having done this for decades priorr to this filth creep (but her dirty Nazi daddy was involved in this contract out on me back as early as 1974 or 1975, probably 1974 when my step-father the highly skilled poet writer professor was involved with the author of Deliverance in a poets seminar in Atlanta and returned extremely embittered, and he had to change his priorities of writing he then partnered with one of the English terrorists back in 1987, in London when I went there for a summer post graduation of college--and this man is intimately connected to the English royalty as a painter and his wife is the daughter of the director of Deliverance--partnering with dirty shitalina and pit ape pitt for over 15 years but ordering my family's targeting, my poisoning (which did begin before they got their filthy leeching apparatus sucking apparatus onto my life for their endless promotions) I was sent to live across the street from this English bigot back in 1987 in the organized hate structure, and my step-father was also involved in this orchestrated plot for his own promotion. But beyond all the greed and sleaze of this group including my own family, I must state that this ugly dirty whore has looked at least 20 years youjnger while I look 30 years older from the parasitic leeching off my energy, having dirty men rape and beat me as she watches on smiling and laughing along with dirty foul shit ape pig pitt and ther est of the apes and scum of Whorewood and Congress. The joke is that my breasts are not plastic surgery like ugly shitalina's and the jokes are endless after abuse death trheats this German ape endlessly punching my head and face, getting the crap of the Steven Tyler group connected to Stallone's Italian--all with English Italian French and German fascist Nazis rushing to join into collaboration of their take-over of Whorewood with dirty u gly stupid shitalina and pig ape pitt put endlessly into the Oscars every year, as they have been taking turns since their clutching onto my life for this contract back around 2014, taking the tech from Depp and putting Musk into power along with T-rump. The rest is " history" but you all keep silencing this situation so it's more death squad censorship.
