When Donald Trump described Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug smugglers last month, Latinos took to social media to express their outrage and urge businesses to sever ties with the billionaire presidential candidate.

In short order, more than 10 organizations canceled their deals with Trump, in what Latino activists are calling an unprecedented recognition of their economic clout.

Latino spending power will hit $1.5 trillion this year, up 50 percent from 2010, according to the Nielsen Co, which analyzes consumer spending trends.

At an average age of 27, the Hispanic population is a decade younger than the U.S. average and just entering the prime of its earning power, market researchers said....

I just received word, the downtown Pittsburgh Macy’s, used to be the old Kaufmann’s store, is closing.

Well, this may be the wave of the future for Macy’s.

Yeah, I know. B-( I don't want to see anyone lose their jobs either, a lot of people's lives, including me, depend on them. It's a shame Macy's is caving in to bullies though.
