Retail stinky jobs is the last twig holding up the bankster’s house.
That is just it, isn’t it. Industry is gone and lots of folks moved into services. Retail, insurance, banking, stocks, etc.
Insurance, at least health insurance, is in a choke hold and if...no...when it collapses will take a lot of things down with it.
But now add in the low paying service sector collapse...we already have 92 million Americans not in the workforce. That is nearly one third the population...by summer this country is going to be tearing itself apart.
Actually, the last bit that will hold together the 1%’ers house ‘o’ cards is massive quantities of peasants’ anesthetic:

/It’s been going on for thousands of years:
I recently read of a new translation of a Mesopotamian clay tablet in which some king or another assured a distant mayor that the citizens wouldn’t notice cuts in their food supply as long as they were provided with lots of horse racing to keep their minds off their problems.
This happened in 700 BC.
Send everyone back to school, the obvious solution to a decline in retail employment is for all those people to earn a master’s degree in sociology or women’s studies or perpendicular pontification.
