Every one is "happy", "hip", or uses rapid fire speech. Or they are over the top in their behavior.
It is like be bombarded by witchcraft.
The country is a mess, yet the advertisers try and tell us everything is snappy and sarcastically hilarious.
later in the article:
"But there is evidence to support a more positive view, too: the strong jobs market"
Strong jobs market? Yeah, LOL.
Just wait until they raise Interest Rates, kaboom.
I think it will happen the moment a Republican is sworn in as President.
In CA I refuse to aid punitive government taxes as much as possible and we only purchase what is absolutely necessary.
Let the illegals support the corrupt deviates running state government.
Its not the will to go shopping I lost, just the funds to do it with... I unlike our government, cant spend what I don’t have!
US consumers, caught between government-stimulated inflation, government-stimulated rises in healthcare costs, government taxation, and an endless variety of Obama’s Marxist intrusions into business and private life no longer have the CASH to shop.
People are spending their money on traveling. With gas prices so low they are trapping all over the United States. Why be in a store when you can be on the beach? I know this is not the beach but Disney World in Orlando was packed to the limit the 10 days I was there with the family. Vacations are the hot thing to do this year. Nobody wants to be in a stuffy store.
EVERY money/finance report, no matter the source, is inventing plot to justify ... they really aren't sure WHAT'S happening nor what to do about it.
I've come to believe the unemployment rate in the US is closer to 30% than not
That people are buying what they need because of the fear foisted on us by a political world that no longer makes sense
The only stable thing people can hang their hat on is the faith they have developed in Donald Trump ... merely because they believe him when he says he's gonna' make America great again
The devil is in the details and we HEAR the words that seem to make sense and that they will work ... but there is a nagging understanding that there is an enemy SO intent on destroying us as a free nation ... and subliminally we're beginning to suspect we are already neutered ...
There will be no Mussolini take-down, no Ceausescu ... not that we want to be monsters .... but we want the attack to end ... and I'm afraid we don't have the will to kill
Politics is our only hope at this time ... and because that is almost a religion (we want to BELIEVE something good will happen), the financial world is also a faith and a religion
I've been reading for a couple of years that there was a big unstoppable change coming
I haven't seen it, but I think more IS coming at us
Without jobs there is no ability to care for yourself and your family ...
outside of a government that has no money, nor the food, clothing and housing one needs to live
Damn ... I wish I had stayed asleep and not come in here
Also, they seem to expect people to go out and spend with income now at a 30 hour work week level and with healthcare expenses that have doubled or tripled.
FAT FRICKIN CHANCE!

People are losing the will to shop, because everything is made in China.
Bring back American jobs, and people will buy stuff once again.
LOL!!!
Thanks for posting. Be prepared.
The entire “most transparent everything in history” administration of Obama has been nothing more than BS and smoke and mirrors.
Seriously ... just look around your house and ask yourself if you really need anything else.
People sure seem to be buying iPhones. A few days ago I stopped by AT&T to increase my mobil data and the place was so crowded it looked like Macy’s the weekend before Christmas. When I walked in the door a lady took my name and said It would likely be a two hour wait. She told me it had been that way every day since the new iPhone 6s became available last month. Of course I didn’t wait.
Not losing the will but the ability to shop because of lack of disposable income.
