Twice As Many 2020 Gifts Will Be Returned Than In 2019


AP news is reporting that retailers are expecting shoppers to return twice as many items this year than they did in 2019. It will be about $1.1 billion of returns. Part of those returns will be because of a wrong size or bad color, etc. But that can't account for a doubling of returned items.

Part of it has to be because of the recession -- and the government's refusal to help hurting people. Many people will find they need the money much more than they needed the gifts (no matter how much they liked and appreciated the gifts).

Much of the pain of this recession is because the federal government (mainly the Trump administration) badly mishandled the Coronavirus pandemic. It's time for the federal government to step up and help the people it hurt the most.
