Not sure what they had in the back, but the boxed units normally stocked under the displays were all gone. Employees in electronics confirmed mass exodus of TVs during Stimulus Week. Frozen vegetables gone for a few days, 1lb beef was dwindling most times (I wasn't visiting when they expect high traffic so maybe they were just being really efficient and what I saw was what was left without passing expiration date - no reason to set out a full shelf of beef at 8pm closing).
My sample size is... 2 Walmarts in Reno. But that was the forethought - "where is all this sudden money about to go now that everyone has 'free time at home'?"
The article prompt is ex-tech-leader pointing out reduced R&D budgeting, so I wanted to test the connection that there's an obsession with "watching" or "observing" pre arranged activity [via screen] instead of participating.
Everybody got the individual choice to purchase "what's already produced and available in storage" instead of being offered state money to build a few huge projects (spanning many provinces).
