And the Good News Is:
Sales are expected to be flat for the Christmas season, which means bargain hunters can look for a bonanza in sale items, not only after the holiday, but also in the days just before. (See The New York Times' story.)
On the other hand, the slow employment recover will undoubtedly drag on. (See The New York Times' story.) When retailers can't sell their junk, then the manufacturers cut back. In this case, one is left to suppose that the Chinese economy will begin to suffer.
You heard about the 263,000 job losses last month, but the numbers are grimmer. More than 571,000 workers dropped out of the job market altogether. (See The Washington Post story.)
Chicago Is My Kind of Town:
Frank Sinatra crooned, but then the chairman of the board was known to have connections with certain unsavory types who, reportedly, helped manufacture his career. If you were on the Olympic board, would you want The Games played in the city of Al Capone? The 1968 Riots? The Infamous Mayor Daley (#1)? The Black Sox Scandal?
I have a dream:
That I can be super rich without even trying. (See Gail Collins' Op-Ed.) "So, how's that been working out for you, Jim?" To date, I'm still dreaming. Maybe I should start watching Dancing with the Stars and taking notes.

O, city of broad shoulders and meat packer of the world …Ah, t' heck with it. … Let's all go down to Rio and par-tay!
Symbol of democracy extended to cemeteries, of lovable losers …

Alright! Let's saddle up for another junk-shopping trek to Mall-Wart. Then I'll have some more junk to set out with the garbage in a few months.
