What are your hobbies, OP?

Start a car detailing business. Use the water to wash the cars.

Use the money from new, low-overhead business to do anything you want.

Malta, then *poof*

Both have temu-level garbage, but it's cheaper on Amazon.

Currently, as they are dying today, yes.

This is not how malls have traditionally worked.

In the past, malls provided a plug-and-play way for national chain retail to offer premium, private-labeled goods that allowed them to extract money away from a community's locally owned stores found on main street.

Malls were just a way to privatize mainstreet and allow the ownership class of capitalists to extract more money from a local economy through large chain stores and to give them private control over what used to be public space.

Now the middle class is worth a fraction of what it used to be, their purpose has dissolved.

People use Amazon instead of the mall because they can still afford the Temu-level garbage Amazon sells.

Peat = good insulation

The credit score is based on how much money the banks think they can make off of you, not your moral standing.
