On how grocery stores are doing, in the U.S.
I found an MSN slideshow that had a few details for every state.
It was kind of repetitive, but a few things stood out. One was that now that many stores, everywhere, currently do not have to accept cans and bottles, Iowa, for one, has over 1,000 stores that are PETITIONING for that change to become permanent!
And in NYC, the fancier stores have lost a lot of business, since wealthier New Yorkers have fled the city.
And, in Vermont...
"Grocery clerks in Vermont have officially been dubbed €śemergency workers€ť by the state government. The new status gives them access to free child care."
