So what do you think? Do you think these ladies have what it takes to keep the economy (and businesses) afloat this year? I for one think that it certainly won’t hurt…but it’s not going to come anywhere close to how well those stimulus checks worked-wait….
If nothing else I suppose retail businesses can cater their advertising to focus more heavily on this demographic.
