"The People Who Actually Had a Pretty Great Year": The sliver of America's professional class that's been doing just fine (or better than ever)

I was told today that rich people are ordering and shipping so much stuff that I have to work Sunday and probably Christmas Day and probably the day after as well. They just can't stop buying stuff. Their plight is so great that it can only be filled with buying even more stuff. It's all just such a struggle every day for them.

What's the alternative? People don't order things and your company lay off people?

Our online ordering has increased by a large margin, because we don't want to take any undue exposure risk to covid. I'm guessing that is many people, not that all of a sudden people are buying toys.

We try to order from local businesses as much as possible and do curbside pickup, but our online ordering has definitely gone up.

Also it's Christmas so instead of giving gifts in person many people, including myself, have been ordering more online and shipping more online to avoid in-person contact...

While it's no doubt that some people have profited during this pandemic, we feel it's in bad taste to gloat about it. As such, there's not much to discuss here and this thread is locked.
