I’m shocked at this year compared to the last 2-3 years. My city is crippled with inflation on groceries and rent… I’ve even had customers ask for refunds to put towards their bills!

    The sooner people tighten up the faster the economy will slow and they can begin to drop the interest rates and level off the inflation. I read that Friday sales were above last years level according to the credit card processors.

      I SO agree! I’ve been saying similar things for awhile. ‘Govt.’/media should talk about that more. Teach ppl u slow ur spending will slow inflation, rates MAY not need to be raised so much, etc. the way the govt. attacks it hurts vulnerable people & businesses (esp. small biz). I hate seeing layoffs & int. rates that ripple higher costs for people. Black Friday, I’ve read poor sales but I’ve seen high sales mentioned more. & That’s modern media. U can skew numbers in a few ways. Bottom line is HOW r the real people doing? Best to all.
