And from your own link..take it with a grain of salt. Nordstrom's may be a major retailer but not to the masses..they frequent Target and Wallymart.
"I wouldn't be doing cartwheels that it was a particularly great or strong holiday season, but it could have been worse given the headwinds," said Ken Perkins, president of RetailMetrics, a research firm.

Or lay back and just take it like a champ?? that's what I'm going to take "use it to our benefit" as meaning.
Well, except for the champ part, that is YOUR premise. You've already accepted that (champs don't sit and whine, and assume nothing can be done about it).

You're absolutely right...but "to our benefit" is very broad...
I'm interested in what facets of life you would consider global governance desirable.
Wrong again sport. Prices are rising and wages are falling and their is more unemployed people than ever before. Food stamp recipients are at high levels. Calling that a turnaround is lunacy.

That may seem to be a horribly large number, yet it actually represents considerable improvement. The unemployment rolls contained more than 14 million names just a year ago.

California posted the sharpest reduction in raw terms, cutting its number of unemployed workers by 212,700 in 12 months. Oklahoma's drop of 20.8 percent is the best in percentage terms.
The decline in unemployment is the result of a broad upswing in job creation since the middle of 2011. On Numbers noted yesterday that 44 states and the District of Columbia added jobs during the one-year span..."
