  "Summary": "Recent chart on inflation-adjusted (real) retail sales.  We are still spending above long-term trend (straight line from before COVD), but trending down. I contend that in coming years (later this decade) we will dip below this long-term trend line as our economic difficulties increase, with high chance it manifests in another shock drop (serious recession), and a slow climb out over 5-years back to trend.<br />",
