Not sure where you live....but highways are not packed here...You could not hit someone with a cannon in the shopping centers, and I see very little business activity change from what it was last year...
Sure there are some buying new cars but that is a seasonal thing..But what I do see a lot of is inflation....rents, food, utilities.....
This is showing up as profits for some public companies, however the euphoria will not last...
Your FR profile says USA. Well, the highways are packed in the USA.
