I expect a huge increase in consolidation as the Empire implodes upon itself. I believe the only retailer left will be Walmart for all practical purposes. Very few grocery stores with union contracts will survive. Right now our store is only hiring part time. Kids quit and they aren't being replaced on my crew. Expect a small bonus this year for Xmas then that comes to a screeching halt as sales drop off a cliff.
Only advantage we have is that Walmart can give food a way at cost to bring in sales. Multiply this across the country and you can see what i mean about the demise of union companies.
I'm glad I left California because it ain't going to be pretty in those "hoods" and what's left of the middle class has to watch their houses being repossessed.
My sister and her husband down there have moved in with their daughter to survive. Expect a lot more of that.
Patty and I will be out of debt, with no house or car payment in about 20 months. We could make it with out the car but that shouldn't be a problem. Trying to help someone else will not be fun. You never know about recessions (or depressions) we could all be in the poor house.
