Macy’s is definitely for the “middle class”. Well, the middle class has NO discretionary money any longer, will see 20-50% premium increases (again) on their health insurance this year, have seen state and local taxes increase, groceries are up, and Hillary promises to raise taxes on this group. Can’t wait for HRC to make some kind of statement about Trump has caused Macy’s to retract.

Very accurate soaring cost-of-living assessment!
From what I understand, the upper+ middle class are feel’in too.
Golfing course activity and profits have dropped significantly, upper end boat and RV sales are down too.

Has anyone noticed that Sotheby’s and Berkshire Hathaway are increasingly representing lower end homes, < 350K?
Geez, Sotheby’s used to be only for the Thurston Howell set!

And does anyone ever remember hearing elders say to you in the mid-1980’s, “Kid, you’ll never have it this good again” ?

They were right...

...

Maybe if Macy’s starts selling groceries like Walmart they can attract the EBT crowd.

Macy's is NOT for the middle class - they're for liberal elites... the same liberal elites that Penney's and Target are for...

They're competing for the same small pool of people liberal newspapers and magazines compete for.

(Here's a hint for Macy, Penney, and Target: WHITE LIBERAL ELITES IN THIS COUNTRY ARE PROPPED UP BY LARGE NUMBERS OF OF PEOPLE IN THE BLACK UNDERCLASS... FOLKS WHO AREN'T GOING TO SHOP AT MACY'S...
