Stupid fucking OP. How can we be "experiencing" something that YOUR OWN FUCKING LINK says is "expected" to happen?

OF COURSE THEY'RE SPENDING A RECORD AMOUNT!! I spend a record amount every time I go to fucking Wal Mart thanks to your child molester n chief's massive inflation. Everything costs more. Doesn't mean they're buying more, it just means THEY'RE SPENDING MORE.

Oh yea, then they're just putting it on credit cards.


Anyone catch the OP? Read it closely:

EXPECTED TO BE RECORD LEVEL. We are 3 days into the holiday shopping season with MULTIPLE websites talking about sluggish spending for the holidays.

Truth: People have less money to spend:


Spending sluggish:


Spending very sluggish:


Can we just call the OP bullshit and end this stupid thread?

Most economist believe that the recession started in 2020 and the consensus is that it was based on the effect of COVID 19 on the economy. It was an inherited issue

Gas prices where I live are below 3.00 in some areas and back to what it was. If it holds then Biden may get a breather from the highs

How the economy affects people is probably based on political persuasion. Republicans will blame Biden but its not like they were going to vote for Biden anyway.

If it holds then then Biden has noting to worry about.

If you live in California and the few other high cost of living area then it is what it is

Shoppers took to stores across the world on a Black Friday that appeared subdued compared with prior years, looking for discounted electronics, clothing and household goods in the kickoff to the holiday shopping season crucial to big retailers.

Brokerage TD Cowen lowered its U.S. holiday spending estimate to 2% to 3% growth, from 4% to 5%, as it forecast flat Black Friday traffic. Discounts in October and November removed the excitement and urgency of Black Friday.

"People have already got what they want," said David Klink, senior analyst at Huntington Private Bank, which owns shares of Walmart and Target. "There are only so many big-screen TVs and Alexa [Amazon voice assistants] you can buy."

With many consumers squeezed by persistent inflation and high interest rates, U.S. holiday spending is expected to rise at the slowest pace in five years. Most major retailers slashed their seasonal hiring. Retailers will likely continue to discount throughout the season to avoid inventory gluts at yearend."

 
Name one thing that cost less today than it did 4 years ago.
Four years ago, we just started with a pandemic and a president who called it a hoax, creating a rise in inflation/reduction in products and services, causing higher prices and job loss. Got anymore ridiculously ignorant comments to make?
