• American tourists splurge in Paris boutiques as euro slides

    Yep. Here it is. Yet another example of the horrible ways Americans
    are suffering. The poor dears! It must be terrible lugging all that
    weight around.

    American tourists splurge in Paris boutiques as euro slides

    PARIS, July 15 (Reuters) - American tourist Shawna Wilson says she has
    splashed out on four dresses at the high-end LVMH-owned department store
    La Samaritaine in Paris, tempted by the prices as the euro reached
    parity with the U.S. dollar.

    The euro tumbled below $1 on Wednesday for the first time in two decades
    on fears that rising energy prices triggered by the Ukraine conflict
    could tip the European Union into a prolonged economic crisis. read more

    “It's like it’s on sale here,” said Wilson, 49, from Colorado, whose purchases included two dresses for her daughter. "Because the euro and
    the dollar are about the same, it definitely encourages us to spend."

    The weak euro is big draw for tourists, particularly Americans – who are flagged as a key growth driver for the European luxury goods sector in
    the second quarter, according to analysts from Barclays.

    The strong dollar versus the euro contributed to a four-fold rise in
    tourism spending in Europe in June compared with last year, with an acceleration in spending from Americans, analysts at UBS, citing data
    from VAT refund provider Planet, said.

    The luxury sector has rebounded quickly from the pandemic as people
    rushed to spend money saved during lockdowns -- buying themselves treats
    as socialising resumed."

    Back when I was living next door to Mexico the peso was running
    around 10 or a dollar. Today you can get 20.5 Mexican pesos for one
    American dollar. Yeah the American economy is obviously in shambles. How
    could all of that public opinion polling possibly be wrong? LOL
