Problem is some parts of the economy are well and others are doing horribly, if we went like this long enough much of the economy would adjust (# of restaurants, hotels would go down), problem is in the short term. Not too different than when Walmart goes into a small town and puts small businesses our of business. 5 years later things adjust.

Strange when someone says they see nothing wrong (read the news) and same with when someone says everything is going horribly (not everything). If you run a restaurant, mall, movies, performance art, hotels, car rentals, airline, your sales have likely taken a big hit. The "in my city things are running normally" doesn't change the overall effect in the country.
