In an ironic twist, the Trump-hating protesters of America (71% of which believe an economy-wide downturn is imminent) have boosted American growth since the inauguration - sales of poster boards, markers and other sign-making supplies jumped more than 30%. Bloomberg reports that, according to data from the NPD Group which tracks sales of consumer goods, in the week of the inauguration alone, Americans spent an estimated $6 million on supplies - not insignificant considering that many of the individual items cost $1 or less. Sales of foam boards rose 42 percent. Poster board sales grew 33 percent, and in the week before the inauguration, stores sold roughly one-third of the 6.8 million poster boards sold in January. Paint markers and fabric paint for t-shirts also sold more briskly than normal, said Leen Nsouli, director of industry analysis for office suppliers at NPD. With more demonstrations planned for the future, retailers might want to stock up, Nsouli said—and protesters should plan ahead. First world problems - poster board shortages. Talk about a major blow back for Marxist causes that tend to be anti capitalism, when all they are doing is making millions of dollars for businesses that are involved in the office supply world. Funny how some of these Marxist protesters declare down with capitalism at their protests, when all they are actually doing is making capitalism rich...From data use on their cell phones at these anti Trump Marxist protests to making millions for the sign making supplies business world. It would be hilarious if where they get these supplies to make anti Capitalism and anti Trump signs are from businesses that vastly voted for President Trump in the election...As that would simply mean spending millions on supplies to make signs are making people who voted and supported President Trump rich. See folks these Liberal Marxist may be protesting Trump and Capitalism, but while they bitch and moan they only continue to help the Trump economy...What a hilarious backfire to these idiot Marxist who never think about what they are doing are likely making people who voted for President Trump rich.
