Across the United States, consumer spending is down. People are cautious about making purchases, with the looming uncertainty about how long the coronavirus will last or the financial impact it may have.
According to a New York Times analysis of data from Earnest Research—which tracks and analyzes credit card and debit card purchases of nearly six million people in the United States—spending on travel has slumped, restaurant sales have plummeted, spending on transportation is way down, shopping is down overall, and even spending on health, paradoxically, has fallen.
“This is the sharpest decline in consumer spending that we have ever seen,” said Luke Tilley, Chief Economist at Wilmington Trust.

In recent years a handful of giant digital platforms, including Google, Amazon, and Facebook, have grown in dominance. Each one has a market value of half a trillion dollars or more, and almost total control over some of the key levers in the digital economy: Search, online advertising, retail sales, and social networking. That has had a ripple effect on a number of industries, including the media business, where the lion’s share of ad revenue has been siphoned away by Google and Facebook. How did these companies get so big and as powerful? What responsibilities do they have when it comes to things like disinformation, and are they following through on them? And what if anything should we do about their dominance? Should they be broken up, or prevented from acquiring other startups? Should they be forced to help fund the industries they have helped to cripple?

O GLOBO – 16/04/2020

A crise provocada pelo novo coronavírus abalou o mundo em um período de especial agitação nas ruas. Uma época em que os chilenos marchavam contra a selites; os coletes amarelos enfrentavam o governo na França; libaneses, a ordem sectária estabelecida; argelinos, o poder encarnado por Abdelaziz Bouteflika; e iraquianos, o desgoverno de seu país. Masto da essa expressãode raiva social foi freada pela pandemia.
