The Kobeissi Letter highlighted strong August real retail sales, which rose 0.8% month-on-month to a record $231.6 billion and 3.0% since January 2026. 2 Jeff Snider disputed the implication that aggregate spending is robust: he said real retail sales have broadly moved sideways for several years, with wealthy consumers masking weaker spending among lower-income households. 1

The stories
- ○ a voice, on the left
- ◌ a voice raising half of these
- ● a subject, on the right, under its story
- ⌒ a line is a voice raising a subject — thicker, more items; colour is the story
The stories this entity travels in: on the right, each story with the subjects seen alongside it; on the left, the voices that raised them, and a line for every subject a voice raised, bundled by story. Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
