Values don’t get you anywhere when the economy is in the crapper. Unfortunately, it seems like Americans like the economy the way it is.
I hate that abercrombie store with its blaring “music” and its bags with nekked heathens on them. Last time I was there, I asked to talk to the manager about the volume of the music and told them it was driving the customers away and I also asked if they didn’t have a bag without a shaved chest on it. I was only there because my then 14 yr old wanted something from there. I cannot stand that place and it is not cool.
Now, that being said about your chosen name, I will respond to your erroneous message. Values is the only thing. Period. In good times and in bad.
It isn’t that the majority “like” the economy the way it is,
it’s just that so many of them are not being affected by it because of the “safety net”.
