Blame the severe weather on global warming…
It’s not Obama, it’s not the weather. It’s internet sales finally taking it’s toll.
How convenient to leave out the totals of internet sales, which were up from last year.
Hey my friend,you’re ruining the narrative here.Dont confuse these boys with the facts!
And you fail to mention that OVERALL retail sales were up in the entire holiday time frame by nearly 3%.
Short season is a big reason, imho we as a population tire of the whole holiday trend. If you want to bitch about the war on Chritmas, start with the folks that profit the most from it.
Panic? Came up empty? The only down figure I see is store walk-throughs. And that figure is down about as much as internet sales were up.
Contrary to popular belief, more money made by the wealthier members of society does NOT filter into the economy as it does when the middle class/ lower class gets more money in their checks. When prices rise to increase corporate profit, what paychecks remain (what wasn’t outsourced) don’t go as far, and there is far less discretionary spending, excepting credit purchases. With credit purchases, there’s a whole other set of issues, including default and reduced future spending.
Yeah. The media is reporting that but economist put out a report today that says sales were up 3.5% over last year and exactly what they predicted. Keep feeding the sheep and not living in the real world. Internet sales were up 16.5% too. Yes. It’s shitty in America.
