I think HN and a lot of other storefront retailers never really understood how the internet has made specialty shopping an important part of retail sales .Sure I'll walk through the door for a fridge / washing machine , imported lounge (HN)but the other stuff, kmart etc cover a lot of it , and theres still all that space there for small niche buisneses to fill the gaps
I'm not sure this expanded tax will change a lot for Gerrys plight his buisness model went south a long while back (like spilt milk
)
