They shift the demand curve to the left.

Nod.

Wow, look who decided to actually answer a question. Sort of. “They shift the demand curve to the left”—congrats on describing a textbook concept in six words and pretending it's a mic drop. That’s not analysis, that’s just the CliffNotes version of Econ 101. A lot like "It's a sampling error."     So let’s go a little deeper since this is your thread and your job is to defend it:

1. What’s causing the shift—decreased consumer confidence, rising input costs, policy uncertainty?
2. Are we looking at a temporary correction or a longer-term signal of weakening demand?
3. How does this tie into broader indicators like job growth, inflation, or global market reaction?

This is what defending your thread looks like—not asking everyone else to fill in the blanks while you toss around vague econ phrases like confetti. You’ve got the floor, Veghead. Make it count—or dodge, and I’ll just keep returning the favor in my threads.
