Not only do I hope they never re-open but they don't have a going out of business sale and move any remaining stock out of state.
I also hope the store owners never repair the buildings and leave then as a monument to government inability to govern.
There was a radio talk show that I heard today that was interesting. They were pointing out how businesses are looking back into a teenager's social media posts before hiring them as an adult, like so many are doing now, including sports. The feelings on this show was that looking back 15-20 years to posts made by that teen and censoring them for their childish posts ("wrong think") was letting those infantile sycophants gain control of society. With this idiotic pressure on people, many are "self-censoring" to the point of abdicating their First Amendment rights. The discussion pointed out that this just emboldens those immature-minded bullies to expand their scope of "examination" (intimidation).
Further comments were on how it USED to be that the crazy things that teens did would "mellow with age" is no longer valid and the "infants" are running away with the country.

I have said plenty of things as a youth that would reflect very poorly on me as an adult and are not representative of who I am today. Holding something I posted at 15 over my head for the rest of my life cannot be right.
That said, even the things I post on here (like saying that liberals having fucking brain damage) could probably get me fired if I posted them openly. So much for our first amendment.
I think i was in my early 20s when i first looked back at my teen years and wondered how i survived being so damn stupid, AKA growing up, i think some folks never do that

I know. A local police department in these parts (won't name them) is WELL KNOWN for corruption and their specialty is ripping off dope dealers then selling the shit themselves (or planting some on a poor sap with a burned out tail light). I could tell you what happened to the poor rookie who thought it was wrong, but then the department's identity would be known. If that got back to me I wouldn't be posting here anymore. Everyone knows it, but NOTHING is done and they go about their business day after day. And, the ripped off dealers... what are they gonna do? Call the cops?
