I think you'll see a few things : you'll see a decline a new car sales except for luxury brands. You'll see a decline across the board in products in technology like Apple, you'll see a decline in healthcare enrollment.

middle tier restaurant sales will decline Amazon spending will decline. people will forego insurance on their house or car if they think they can get away without having.

essentially everything except for food and a yearly vacation will be cut

Interesting

What else would we expect to see cracking, under this middleclass deferred maintenance and upkeep hypothesis?

I'm thinking routine automotive servicing, landscaping, and fencing.

Undisciplined

Has nothing to do with the economy cracking...

> their premium, contractor-grade paints are found only at their dedicated stores, the HGTV HOME™ by Sherwin-Williams paint line is sold at Lowe's. However, the HGTV HOME™ paint sold at Lowe's is a different, lower-quality product than what is available at Sherwin-Williams stores, so if you're looking for high-quality paint, you'll need to visit a Sherwin-Williams location

Markets are efficient, gatekeeping your product in your own brick-and-mortar is inefficient

The fact that they expended unnecessary overhead in the form of their own stores, in a natural state of consolidation, is just fighting an unwinnable battle against entropy. 

Cheap debt and distorted price signaling allowed inefficient business practices to carry on for too long, this is just nature healing.

Another sign that the economy is cracking in the middle class. This is related to my prior post on the drop in HVAC sales. Normies are tapped out.
