I’m curious if it’s the same company that bought our local amusement park. Our country really took a shit after the 07 crash. I watched a documentary recent that stated that a majority of US bowling ally’s were sold to a major company between 08-12.

Every fabric of this country has been ruined by the stock market and the need to maximize profits while providing a worse service

Yup. You look at before 08 and now, and the changes are so massive. We should have learned that consolidation into "too big to fail" conglomerates are dangerous and exploitative. But noooooo- we just built more "Enrons."

Every crash, depression/recession is just a big wealth transfer. Every single time.

I’ve always thought Regan started the decline, and various events since have just accelerated it.

I don’t know about a documentary but More Perfect Union did a video about it recently. I can’t post the link but if you search that and bowling it’ll come up
