Very sad. Very concerning.

(25,183 posts)In any case, the retail world has been changing and still will be changing, this just accelerates that. The travel industry has been on the same track, it used to be that people sought the aid of a travel agent before going on a trip, now people are their own travel agents. And as a result of this crisis, there may well be a realization by corporate muckety-mucks that all of that old-fashioned business travel is a waste of time and money.
