Moreover, shelves are starting to look bare. We are losing the trade war of this self inflicted economic crisis.
I don’t see that happening. It says you posted this yesterday and maybe you were flying but Monday’s market performance seems to have been a positive reaction of the US and PRC agreeing to reduce each others tariffs so I am not so sure how long this doom and gloom narrative is going to last.
I can’t speak for Australia or the Hawaiian market but the flights to the far east (Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and PRC) have been prrrrrrrity full.
I am not sure where you live….maybe you are used to seeing Canadian sunbirds or other large groups of European tourists…..and don’t see them anymore.
Maybe I am just way too stuck in my suburban New York North Jersey bubble where everyday I see more and more foreigners.
One more thing the shelves look bare I think is more of stores changing to the increasing millennial and Gen Z trend (disappointing to me) to have your groceries delivered or picked up curbside.
