Where does he get these statistics?

I will say I keep an eye on things, in the store, the super, the onlines, and things look incredibly slow from what they were even last winter. Perishables are backing up, clearance items abound (interesting that many of them are spicy). I was in a big box building supply last week and I'd swear they're planning to close it. Maybe it's all just typical of pre-recession. They stop replenishment and conserve cash.
