AND NOT A FACTORY IN SIGHT...
AMERICA SEEMS STRANGE DURING THE CURRENT DEPRESSION...
THE MALLS HAVE ONLY WALKERS...THE STORES ARE EMPTY...EVERYTHING IS ODDLY QUIET...
THERE IS NOT A FACTORY IN SIGHT...THE SOUND OF THE FACTORY WHISTLE...OR THE "RUSH HOUR" OF SHIFT CHANGE...IS A THING OF THE PAST...TOTALLY 20TH CENTURY...
AMERICA IS A VAST DEAD SEA OF RETAIL STORES... WHERE UP UNTIL LAST SEPTEMBER...EVERYONE PAID WITH A CREDIT CARD...FOR EVEN THE SMALLEST PURCHASES...EVEN FOOD AND BEER...
AND NO...THEY DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THE "FREQUENT FLIER TYPES..."
NOW IT'S DIFFERENT...THE CREDIT CARD SHOPPERS ARE FEWER...SOME PEOPLE BUY SMALL ITEMS FOR CASH NOW...AT THE POPULAR "DOLLAR STORES."
THE RETAIL CENTERS OF AMERICAN ...AND THAT IS ALL THAT IS LEFT...ARE DISMALLY EMPTY...
THE MAGIC IS GONE...
