The Nightmare That Stole Christmas
...or Santa Claus Has Left The Building.
The smallest of the three Christmas-All-Year-Round stores on Route 66 is history and another business is moving in. Noticed this on my way back to Rather Manor after visiting Aleks in hospital. (More about him later.)
The economic pundits are saying the recession is over on Wall Street and the recover will filter down to Main Street in a quarter or two. Well, what I see is that small businesses are still failing, and people are still being put out of their jobs, and there is no relief for the desperation of the workers whose jobs are in a precarious day-to-day state.
The pundits are counting on the Christmas buying season to pull everybody through. It won't work if nobody has money because nobody has income.
