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.

I am now fighting, physically, another terrorist teleporting Nazi out of England. I hate t o write it's name because it only gets these foul filthy parasites promotions after I write, but...it's this trashy creep Tom Hardy, a nasty violent racist Nazi scum trash personality with shitalina the t rash prostitute you all love for having sexualized feminism and allowing any racist Nazi to brutally rape and beat me for your racist Nazi schemes. Yes, behind him is the German ape filth scumbag and the English shit who attacked me just last week, and now they got this foul creepl leech who is punching me in the face from a side angle while I am literally in a deep sleep at night, with only 3 hours of sleep now because I can't protect my fingers any longer from the terror attack to cut all the skin and cuticl.es away from the nail bed, below cutting literally all out into an arc semi-circle conforming to the curve of my fingernail the slashes to the skin and cuticles is 1/4 inch beneath the cuticle area--cut to the bone and every day they area slicing more of the skin off these areas--all fingers have ben sliced into for years every nght but now they are digging into the bone and cutting cuticles completely off. They INJECTED ANOTHE RSILICONE LUMP INTO MY SKIN on y left buttock cheek--for the pig ape shit this is really fun. The government has allowed every mentally ill psychopath scumbag to have access to inflicting every kind of torture within boundaries of outright murder mutilation and rape poisoning mutilation. It's a frenzy of violence now the filth trump has been put back, the frenzy began months ago but after the worthless crap of Biden got out the sick even less worthy shit of trump and his filth team has brought on the filth of Ice Cube a black Nazi svcumbag leech with his antisemitism along with Obama(s) and all the blacks in power, almost all without exception and a plethora of Jews rushing for months and years to attack me (along with my Nazi family which has organized Nazi teams to rape poison and mutilate me then screaming at me that I am some endless neer-do-welol for having to fight for benefits which they say I am faking receiving denying lying. And I sit here now with another silicone injection they put into my body to disfigure me, my fingers being severed off layers and layers thinly sliced off and this dirty ugly sick creep who is extremely violent, along with the German rapist and Hegseth--this creep is not as sexually degenerate as t he others but more physically violent as slicing my fingers to the bone and having an extremely disfiguring injection put into my behind is pretty damn violent and ugly. All I did was watch a movie while under the influence of mind control drugs, extremely sick as always froom detoxifying the poison that their feminist-so-called protituted filth plastic surgery skank whore and the shit pig pitt ordered put in my body so I would remain incapacitated as they tortured me for information as they made milllions off my ideas I am fighting now literally to surive they are trying to make me homeless have had my money cut off after years of torture. All the filth and shit who have ravaged my body and life are waiting for me to have NOTHING so they can either derstroy everything I ever worked for my body r avaged injected poisoned mutilated as they beat and tortrure me and there is NO ONE ever here to do anything but join in and exploit me in this situation.
