Many of them, especially the high priced boutiques, were going bankrupt because of the lockdowns and economic collapse. This is a great out for them. All the unsellable merchandise gets paid off by the insurance. They basically get a golden parachute to retire on.

Yup, and the small businesses will suffer. It truly is a sad story.

Surprised by Apple being attacked? Think who is very happy for all this mess? Who is very unhappy when Huawei is not doing very well?
