Ate Lunch today at the Whole Foods in Cottonwood, Utah. Been eating there and drinking coffee there for the last three years. Since the election I have noticed less and less people in the store. Today the dining area was only a 3rd full. This store is located in one of the most affluent areas of Salt Lake City.
What does it mean? Change has come to America. Less people with disposable capital. Whole Foods is a modern day canary in the coal mine of America's despair.
As I pondered this change, I realized that all economies expand and contract. Right now this one is contracting. A simple reset of the engine which drives the economy. The question is how much rearranging of economic reality can we stand?
Time will tell. Tomorrow I will be there again, sipping coffee and pondering the change. I recommend the organic Ecuador. Strong body, rich flavor.
