You -- and boy did they ever cash and nearly 50000 retail workers -- in your hired last month.

As shoppers at the malls in droves.

A retailers -- very far better than almost any other sector out there in this country but -- those jobs here to -- keep -- -- a lot of we're told.

Brett Anderson thinks that there might be something of more staying barrier is a former CEO our best buy one of the early ones you know.

I'd be a good idea at the employees knew what they would do talk as a brilliant moment.

Good to have it while it's great to be here thanks -- -- -- going on here is it real with -- -- I think this might be real.

We're seeing because we're seeing things going concurrently with seeing GDP growth beginning to pick up 2%.

We're seeing customer confidence began to grow that's really significant -- none of these are great numbers yet.

And then 50000 hiring that is an honest statement of and -- mental seasonal but that's also statement and optimism on the -- retailers and that's.

If they if you look at October sales there's a reason that they're optimistic and I went.

I don't know this from inside information that looks like November problems -- it to.

Which is something profound -- forgotten read it in urban on this performs a year ago yeah candidate that we sort of pick up -- -- it's OK everything's over relaxed countdown.

We're back to the -- and obviously we weren't right what.

Makes you think this could be different.

I think we're so far we've been into this recession for so long people are so used to it.

And have so integrated into the system and I this is fundamentally an energetic country.

And enthusiastic and optimistic country I think we've been pessimistic for too long but given any kind of -- out we're gonna take it at least I hope that's what's if you're seeing a veteran and and speaking Becton testified.

Did you do -- view.

Toward the not so cheap stuff they're buying the plasma TVs they're buying.

These very expensive games call of duty whatever it is -- mean.

-- at a minimum sixty bucks a pop for that kind of stuff that's not just splurge that's.

Gambling and nothing has you know if you look at you know fuel costs are down -- I'm sure there's nothing else to give them a lot more money to do that.

Saw it get -- -- yeah I think that and those are things what more arms -- -- it's -- its -- not like we -- entertainment at home not like -- -- -- place to -- anything so.

If you see -- people start to loosen up on that that's a real good sign that people are feeling better -- more confident that things are -- -- -- in -- -- that's -- to retail experts who were never CEO's of major retailers.

Who say well you know break it down it's really.

The -- well to do that catering establishments that are fed up with the real early beneficiary is not so much other guys please.

What we've been seeing that for a long time I'm in -- -- that but if it's picking up.

It's -- if that that was already there when you already -- the more well to do -- during most of the year continued to do.

Shopping you with the retailers and we're just hated who more well to -- we're doing better now it seems to be across the board that's -- On.

What's new in the -- it was a thing and -- you talked to a lot of your.

See everybody's past and present.

And they all to a man -- woman argue.

We -- -- Watson for back or something to incentivize us to look forward to future -- boards that are what's changed what's going on now.

I -- hope -- hope that not incentivized to look towards the future mean I think that's it.

That would be I mean -- there's a lot of -- any government yeah I mean there's still a bit that there's plenty of reason to.

One of the things that -- -- as I get a chance to look around now sort of morbid -- there's a lot of of the -- and innovation here meanest.

You look at what we could be energy independent -- to North America.

Manufacturing could world could move back to North America.

I mean there's a lot of things from and I would stopping.

Wildness we decide not to build a pipeline that isn't good.

And if we decide not to -- -- oil -- capture that energy independence at least practically goes away for for.

The foreseeable future and that effects that has a chain of effect down things like things it -- make this president also held up Keystone Pipeline yet.

-- that's a bit yeah I think that's the best team and and why again because that would just leave us that well because we if if we could move to genuine independence from North America.

If you think about it as you go through the rest of the chain of things.

Now it makes more sense -- factory in north American -- might somewhere else.

You because you've got a relatively low cost of energy -- here that starts to equalize.

Other kind of cost constraints -- might be greater and some of the costs and other -- will be going up.

So you're a little more optimistic than last which yes.

Yes a little I don't want an alarmist because there's all clouds are still there are overstated but yet I'm more optimistic there interest all right -- Anderson thank you -- pharmacy you know -- that's.
