    I mean, who can afford parties any more. Not even joking. None of my friends are buying anything extra for parties. Kids parties as well. Just the essentials.

      Idk, what circles you’re moving in, but consumer spending is up markedly, consumer sentiment is up, the economy is strong, and inflation continues to come in at healthy levers month after month for almost a year now.
