MORE CONSUMPTION IS GOOD NEWS. DO NOT THINK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.
some interesting quotes in the article
>The number of shoppers visiting stores at the weekend rose 9.7% in March from a year earlier, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) said.
>However, the BRC said footfall remained below pre-pandemic levels, and the recent recovery in numbers had slowed.
>The overall number of shoppers visiting stores is still down 10.2% from pre-pandemic levels, the BRC said, with consumers and businesses facing a “challenging economic environment”.
Over all numbers and what people are spending, is more important, than “when”, sure firms can tailor their offering / staffing levels to busy times. But if people simply dont return to pre 2020 numbers, then its more “deck chairs on the titanic” than anything else.

They always have reasons why stores have less footfall but never included the reason I shop less in the high street
They never have what I want so I have to buy online
They act as if it’s a shock that people actually like to leave their homes and go into town for some shopping

Do not think about consequences! Do not consider [the environmental damage that is not represented in GDP](https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/dasguptareview)!
