I see a big SHIFT here. Like today I was at Sizzler during the lunch rush and normally has a line but today it had at best 12 customers. Things are shifting ang changing quickly so far in 2024.

I see two things going on. #1 There was a ton of money feed up during the pandemic. Money was sent out to everybody. Businesses were given subsidies to "cover their payroll" wether they we making money or not. Nobody was paying rent, there was a moratorium on evictions. People were staying away from work, the few who went back demanded higher wages and companies had no choice. All those circumstances fueled high inflation.
Now being there was so much free cash, capital investment groups went on a buying spree offering profitable business owners with good companies a huge cash buyout they couldn't refuse. Now this company is saddled with debt, how do you cut costs? Get rid of top management with big salaries and hope the business can be run by one or two individuals employed by the investment company and hope they know what they are doing, most often they don't have a clue. Now you still have all that cash lying about so what do you do? Absorb some smaller companies and put them under your failing command. BUT as recent court cases have proven, you can inflate the value of the pile of goodies and get even more money from the bank to buy someone else. The big hope is your can sell one of these portfolios you have assembled and make a profit. Regardless because you cut all those salaries, until the customers get fed up and leave you are showing a big profit less the debt. Eventually these houses of cards will fall and it's off to bankruptcy court. That is coming in the future.
Now back to those consumer lines shrinking. Well we all had to go back to work. Mean time the cost of everything has risen to offset all the countrywide wage increases. The undeniable truth is certian goods and labor have a hard worth and unfortunately that will never change. Ask the folks the next time you are in Louisiana, how did Gov. Huey P Long's proclamation "Every Man a King" work out? One of the current Presidential candidates hinted at closing our borders to intenational trade. Didn't isolationism fuel a Word War? Face it the economy got really screwed up during the pandemic. It's going to take a while to get things to adjust to regular levels, but it will.
