But, for now, it does feel like the economy is on shakier footing than a booming market would imply.

On the retail end, everything I'm hearing is in the direction of expecting the winter to be get worse not better on the supply chain front. Coin shortages are showing up again, paper towel/toilet paper is thinning out, a lot of bottled beverages due to plastic supply issues .. in general more empty shelves are appearing. The big difference is that the public in general is not quite as understanding of this as they were a year ago, so I'm curious to see how that goes from a customer point of view.
