Home sweet home

What’s happening?
Every place in our small village is fully packed with people, but tour operators announced a plunge of bookings around 15%.
All those pubs and restaurants are overcharged with people staying home for the holidays. Not only because the weather is very fine, but also because spending habits are changing.

Funny thing I read elsewhere – coming from CBS Channel 2 Chicago:

The City of Chicago is basically closed for business on Aug. 17, a reduced-service day in which most city employees are off without pay. City Hall, public libraries, health clinics and most city offices will be closed.
Emergency service providers including police, firefighters and paramedics are working at full strength, but most services not directly related to public safety, including street sweeping, will not be provided.
That also includes garbage pickup...
The message is clear: in the US local authorities and cities are running out of money. This will result in higher taxes. And less consumption. Be prepared.
