yes, the stores are packed. No one is buying stuff. I was at the Montgomery mall (I know, mall shopping sucks) and so many stores are packed to the brim. |

packed with merchandise, not people (just wanted to clarify my post). |

Did you go searching for store managers while shopping? I’ve shopped A LOT in my life and can’t remember the last time I spoke with a store manager let alone got into a business conversation with one. |

dp.. you don't have to talk to the store manager. The numbers are telling. Sales volumes are down even as prices are up. https://www.inc.com/ava-levinson/black-friday-sales-hit-record-high/91272280 |

No they happened to be there and we just started chatting. I have worked retail for years while in college/graduate school and am friendly with retail staff wherever I shop. You might be surprised how friendly people can be if you are friendly and kind. Give it a try! |

Friendly and kind is anathema to MAGA. MAGA hates everyone and thinks everyone is stealing from them. |

Consumer spending rose according to the report.
Did the volume of purchases rise? Or are consumers spending more to receive less? Because I have to say, my spending definitely rose this past year, but I certainly got less in terms of the amount of groceries and household items. |

Are people really this gullible to believe these numbers? Serious question. |

Obvious astroturfing, you really have been working to keep posting this. Anyhow... Ignoring some facts, you probably won't come back here to address: -One million more unemployed Americans than a year ago -"Much of the consumer spending acceleration resulted from a rush to buy electric vehicles before the September 30 expiration of tax credits." -Stock market growth is primarily driven by a handful of AI stocks while the rest of the market is flat or down. Also... -AI growth driving job loss (see the first bullet) -Manufacturing down the entire time Trump's been in office -K-shaped economy where a handful of rich get richer while the rest of the average Joe folks are not benefitting. |

This is definitely an astroturfer. |
