Pacemaker sales up 33%

I saw a video from ABC News that was posted on Yahoo, but the video went away before I could link to it.

In a nutshell, pacemaker sales were up 33%, McDonald's opened around 165 new locations and the sale of liquor and wine are up. Not to mention candy and video rentals. All at a time when layoffs have been big and will get bigger. So, what does this all mean?

It means we are seeking out ways to take our minds off our troubles because there will be plenty of them in the upcoming year.
