    Yes, exactly. Cash in consumers hands “trickles up.” Always.
    It’s basic supply chain 101.
    Giving money to large companies does not trickle down to workers. It just fills the pockets of rich people who do not invest it in new jobs. They just buy back shares of their own companies’ stocks and do whatever they can to make money.
    All while the average consumer struggles to pay bills or buy anything to live.

    When the mall opened in my state, I went and never been so scared. Too many people, half wearing mask, no social distancing. Now my city is among the top 5 that had an increase in cases of covid. I fear more deaths will come when winter comes. We as a species haven't learned.

      They won't because the corrupt dogs who are CEO/billionaire will make an excuse why it will cost to much to make product in the west. Funny part is their profit is raising crazily but the ones who get richer are the billionaires but you know them, always making excuses like tim cook for not bring jobs back.

    We need a more holistic view of the economy and it’s health. We see that consumer spending has been growing without stop but that’s the only KPI/Metric we care about. This leaves aside the repercussions of creating all these new products, does not consider if we actually need them or the harm that they creat to the planet.

When was the last time anyone at WSJ looked at where their retail purchases are made? Other than cars and food, I have not seen anything made in this economy.

    I wonder if the country will ever locked down again. Say the pandemic gets much worse in a few months. I bet there are some states, politicians, business owners, and leaders are willing to "let a portion" of the country needlessly die off for a stable economy. At this point, we should throw morality and ethics out of the window and just focus on "the bottom line" from now on.

    Retail spending has been harmful high for decided while real economic value creation has been well below it's potential. Making stuff people don't need and manipulating them into buying it with money they don't have is great for GDP, but that's because GDP is a misleading metric based on incorrect ideas.

      Western shoppers want to buy the item that day or buy online. Since most merchandise is made overseas stores in US lack the ability to make in house so lead time becomes unacceptable. If the lead time of several months is acceptable, why pay shopkeeper when ordering from Taiwan or China merchant?
