All sales done on credit and I predict many will be filing bankruptcy in a year or less.
I have more than I would like on a CC but a bunch of medical stuff had to be paid for. The other has a balance of maybe 50 as of today. A few reward points will take care of about half.
Christmas spending should be light this year.
Gift cards mostly.
Isn’t it fascinating that we know the amount of money spent nationally just yesterday, but they are still counting votes from the November 8th election?
We are a silly people.
That’s an excellent point.
Stocks will go up then crash when the railroad strike happens.
I spent a total of $22 on black friday - on an echo dot.
ROFL.
Of course! Who has actual money nowadays living under the Biden occupation?
Well the RINOpublicans refuse to do anything about election integrity so I assume election fraud will continue all the way to 2024 and Joey Bitme will probably be installed for a 2nd stolen term.
I’ve been saying since 2020 on Freep and elsewhere, do not expect Republicans to win the midterms unless we have election integrity, and all I heard the past year is “red wave red wave” Well gee whiz, look what happened. The Rats even managed to install a guy in the Senate who had a stroke! Good going on election integrity RINOpublicans! How does it feel to get reamed once again? Thank you Mitch McConnell for doing absolutely NOTHING
Yep, bought my summer vacation today, as well as gifts for the wife. Why even go outside with the crazies?
Foreign aid is but 1% of the federal budget and Ukraine is but one country of that 1%.
Was in Manhattan Monday and Tuesday. Lots of Euro tourists this week.
Serious question: does Trump have a plan for getting us out of the deficit? Does ANYONE even talk about seriously balancing the budget?
suspect the other half of the news will be carefully hidden:
“... at the expense of brick and mortar retailers, who found a massive year over year decline in sales”.
.......
Exactly.
As some say, they spent more money but got less. Also, one day of sales means nothing. Tell us what 24 November to 24 December looks like. What did people buy? More necessities type of spending?
Doesn't anybody go to the stores anymore?
