    U.S. consumers slowed their spending by 0.2% in December, cutting back for a second straight month in a worrisome sign for an economy struggling under the weight of a still out-of-control pandemic.http://apne.ws/wYo99J5

        That seems incredibly high. Who's buying anything but essentials right now?

        This is not at all surprising. Millions of people are about to lose EVERYTHING! I don't think anyone truly understand just how bad it's going to get. 😟

        Because people are going broke, they can't spend what they don't have. Many have reached the end of their savings, America is in survival mode and many in congress just keep slowing the recovery process.

        It's almost as if the pandemic and everything around it is a lot more of a big deal than people think it is. Whether you think Covid is a hoax or not the shit going on is serious and need more attention than "it will sort itself out".

        Maybe if consumers spent their earnings on essentials instead of constantly donating to billionaire politicians we might be able to shore up the economy from the bottom up. Politicians are like vampires whose unrelenting need for $$ is killing our democracy and our economy.

        Lol you don’t need signs from consumer spending to know the economy is in shambles. Just look at how long the lines are a food pantries. Look at how many people are applying for unemployment.
