Don't have time to read the whole thing right now, but the first few are not signs of the apocalypse. Unemployment claims are at a six week high because they went down in Nov. and Dec. due to seasonal retail hiring. Now those seasonal hires have been laid off. And Sears and Kmart have been closing stores for years. Walmart and Target keep opening hew ones.

American Figure Skating Boot Maker Klingbeil is closing shop.
The sport has lost skaters, and I hear they haven't made money in a couple of years.
High end sport, very expensive, folks can't afford it, this is last boots made in America, their is one Italian boot, the rest are made in China, which really sucks.
