Some interesting things about Black Friday sales numbers.
People concerned about our nation probably did alter their spending. To help understand what happend--
our 2025 "K-Shaped Economy"
is the new
"The Rich get richer
and the Poor get poorer."; People who have plenty of money spent money-- not caring at all about The Mass Economic Blackout, or anything else. But for people concerned about the Mass Economic Blackout--; "Early data from RetailNext found that in-store traffic on Black Friday was down 3.6% compared to 2024."; “We have 3% inflation, so maybe (the 4.1% increase in spending) is a real increase of just 1% or so, which is not that much of an increase."; "Online order volume in the U.S. dropped 1% year over year on Black Friday, while average selling prices increased 7%, per Salesforce data."; Thank you for everything that you didn't do this weekend!
