it is just odd. A lot of people I’ve discussed this very thing with also think it’s odd. People must be maxing out CCs, be on SSDI or other social programs to “afford” all of the stuff they are buying.
I use the scare quotes around the word afford, because I don’t think anybody is affording items, they are simply kicking the can down the road much like the government is doing currently.
I’ve talked to a few people about this and all have said they have no money or hardly any money and are doing cut backs.
Either it;s my area in north east FL St Augustine which has no money or many are on some kind of welfare cheating the system thus giving them more money.
It was dead where I live, the mall in Jacksonville was not filling up till later that morning, no long lines etc
I honestly do not understand where people are getting money from
