Re: I may be in the minority but

To the OP, I am with you I am watching shopping channels for a welcomed distraction.  Not purchasing anything, I could be laid off at any time as my industry is directly affected where I am.  The City of Boston has shut down all construction, withing their city limits and many surrounding cities are following suit.  My projects are all Healthcare, which have all been stopped for obvious reasons, but with no timeline on when the restrictions will be relieved, I have to worry about more important things like keeping a roof over our heads, bills and mortgage payments.  Not my makeup or adfing to a non essential pile of summer clothing. I almost fell over when I saw HSN selling a 4k 82" TV yesterday for a couple thousand dollars.  All these types of channels may want to consider adjusting their programming slightly, large buying will be slowing down.

I am buying.  I feel like retailers need an infusion of money right now.  Maybe it will help to keep some people employed.

Make good choices, be well, good luck 'cause we're all together in this one!


I think the Walmart cashier was callous. "New normal"? This is not going to last forever.......
