Wait, the Amazon Prime event moved the national retail needle? Hard to imagine. Show me the corresponding aggregate credit card debt level for the same period.
The retail spending by consumers will continue through Christmas, many of the purchases paid for by credit card, as the free cash out there is dwindling down. The hangover will come in January as all the bills come due with little money to pay for them. Then the true recession will rear its ugly head.
The big retailers all know this so they will fire people. Plus the supply chain remains out of whack, and inflation will go sky high now that the mid-terms are over and the artificial propping up of gas prices, etc. will be gone. And the weather in the top half states of the U.S. will suck big-time. Oil/gas prices will go up even higher.
You get what you voted for, you big chunk of idiots that voted for Dem/Socialist/Commies in the mid-term elections. Too bad you have to take down the rest of us with you, you ship of fools. Hard times ahead folks.
