Note that women now make up 50% of payrolls. That trend reached its logical conclusion. It's over and we need to adapt to the new reality.

Here's something else that will most likely cause us to adapt. What's going to happen to the previous charts when the following long-term trend starts forming?



What's going to happen if Corporate America's new wave of robot workers decide not to shop at our country's many strip malls? Then what?
