The stores in the Vegas casinos were devoid of shoppers about a month ago. The casinos in Tahoe and Reno are three-fourths empty. We saw sales signs everywhere.
A month ago we were in Monterey/Carmel and a lot of familiar stores are closed. Restaurants that we used to stand in line to get in are empty; no wait and parking out front.
A local huge mall that was in the process of being built is now winterized and all building halted.
Gonna be a need for moving vans in DC come November 2nd and then the fumigation teams can try to remove the stench.
Things are booming where? In DC where Zero is hiring more thugs?
We can cite stats all we want, but I do not see evidence of zillions of out of work people when I go shop or eat. At Lowes yesterday, had to wait in a line to buy a dishwasher. Now, I DO see autos out of business: the Ford dealership is closed, the Chevy dealership has lost 2/3s its inventory. But it's not reflected in smaller-ticket items that I can tell.
Yep! Let’s hope there are elections in November to kick the Kapos out with!
You missed the point. Now that all those business are out of business and those properties are making no money...they are bound to sell for pennies on the dollar. And that is the rebound.
