Inventory and availability discussion

To sort of answer your question - if 4.5 mil quit - could be they are not going anywhere. Or - they can go any place they want. Some might decide to take a year off and do a part time retirement. And to semi-sort of answer your question - where would I have gone if things were just a bit different? - The hot & wet part of Texas. Now still sort of looking around just north of Colorado.

I drove to work on Monday and noticed that the expected traffic was 1/4 what I had expected. The lower than expected traffic I guess is that some companies gave Fri off for New Years while others gave Monday off.

The last time I went to a sit down place to eat (early Dec); there were only a handful of people there. Most of the traffic decided to order and take home approach.

And the funny answer to the question you asked "where in hell is everyone going"....sorry; if you were not notified, we are not authorized to tell you.
