Did I miss something?

Since this depression/recession started things have been kinda slow at my plant. We typically have 3 peak times each year, back to school being the largest. The last few years back to school has been very slow. This year was probably the worst. We had more people laid off for even longer than usual this year. Now suddenly we're getting slammed for Christmas. WTF? Did the economy suddenly get much better & I missed the memo? I'm betting the buyers have jumped the gun & ordered way too much & we're going to go overfill the warehouse then stall out. What's your take?

The way my luck is with vehicles & the amount of traveling I'll be doing over Christmas I could see a break down happening.
So which auto stores will be open that day?
On my end I'm pretty sure this will result in more lay offs. Our warehouse is going to be full soon & when it doesn't sell we'll be stuck staring at full bins unable to bring anything else in until it sells.

The POTUS and his minions are telling everyone the "recession" is over and a lot of people believe them. The stock market is going up, etc., so some manufacturers probably think it's going to be a good 4th quarter. I hope they are right but I'm very pessimistic.
