Also…what kind of Christmas shopping season will it be this year? Think of all those Black Friday videos of shoppers crammed into narrow store aisles, getting into fistfights while trying to grab that last flat-screen TV off the shelves. Not too much social distancing going on there. Would you brave that kind of thing? If enough shoppers say “screw that,” it’s going to be a very good Christmas for Jeff Bezos and a very bad one for traditional brick-and-mortar retailers. Come January, how many stores that are just barely hanging on today will decide to turn out the lights for good?
