When confronted with facts, Rambunctious responds with, "Nuh uh!"Well, I certainly cannot know who all is included in the "we" the good poster is referring to.
But I know some. Some of the 'we' I know pretty well.
For one tiny soda-straw view of the economy, I look to Lowe's and Home Depot (I own stock in each)....but, my stock ain't what's telling me about record buying. It is the store managers.
They had a record 2020 as people were at home and wanted to build stuff. They are having a record 2021...for much of the same reason. Not to mention the stimulus cash that lubricated the wheels of commerce ---and people's gears to spend.
Couple that with Covid infections at workplaces.....both manufacturers, distributors, .......that crippled production and flow-of-goods making supplies tight. Which then generated a perception that 'we better buy it now lest we can't get it in the future'.
All that has given impetus to ....you guessed it, poster Rambunctious......."record buying".
Trust me on this one.
