      The sharpest drops from March to April were at clothiers, electronics stores, furniture stores and restaurants. The long-standing migration of consumers toward online purchases is accelerating.http://apne.ws/B7j0f0z

          Consumer spending is 2/3 of the economy Trump’s horrible virus response means the economy likely shrank 10+% If only he hadn’t wasted all that time golfing and tweeting insults at the virus...

          It was planned. We have become a nation of total shut-in. Put fear in people, made us to think everyone has IT, as we pass by others avoiding, ducking, turning direction, as if everyone we come in contact with has IT! It’s total mind control.

          This has made me appreciate the retail experience, though. There's definitely still a place for it. I miss browsing and buying a thing or two just because I like it & it's there. Online shopping don't hit the same. Not every retailer is going to survive & malls are done though.

          BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSED. Wow! You’d think that the corona virus had nothing to do with it.
