The Democrats seem to have gotten themselves a little momentum on their amorphous ‘affordability’ gag, but can it last? Tech Buzz ran a story yesterday headlined, “Black Friday shatters records with $11.8B in online sales..” Womp. The sub-headline added, “Americans spent $11.8B online on Black Friday, up +9% year-over-year.”

The numbers,” the article said, “are staggering.” It wasn’t just online sales. Retail foot traffic rose +1.17% overall, retail sales (excluding autos) rose +4.1%, with department stores posting a solid +7.9% increase in discount seekers over last year.

I cannot attest to this personally, since I would rather undertake a series of dental surgeries than go shopping on Black Friday. But you get the idea. Americans are spending like drunk cruise shippers on a Tijuana shopping excursion.

It seems clear. Despite Democrats’ gloom and doom about ‘consumer sentiment,’ the National Retail Federation projects this year will be the first holiday season in history to rocket past $1 trillion in consumer sales. It’s good news about consumer sentiment, and it is very good news for retailers and retail workers. In other words: more Trump 2.0 records.

This is a great start, but remember what I told you. Cost-cutting is fine and dandy for the short term, but we can’t deflate our way out of the Biden inflation. Wages must rise.
