Did COVID suppress consumption or just redirect it? Less restaurant meals and more PS5s, and now the pendulum swings the other way as people socialize in person again.

Good question, I suppose. I work in the grocery industry and COVID was absolutely incredible for business -- my yearly bonus doubled. Wouldn't have wanted to own a bowling alley or a movie theatre, though.
That said, we never corrected to the degree the tech industry seems to be now. I'm glad I never followed through with those Facebook recruiters ...
