Cyber Monday: US buy weak. Europe buy strong. Tax hurt.

Big news! This moon's Shiny Stone Buy Day, when many tribes trade for new furs and tools, saw less shiny rocks move in West Caves than in Sunrise Caves. This is new! Old Salesfoot Rock, a big talking stone, show that West Caves trade slow. People not trade much. Why slow? Big Chief Trump, leader of West Caves, make angry talk with other tribes. He make trade hard, no let good stuff move easy between caves. But in Sunrise Caves, Shaman Elders make shiny rocks less precious, easy to get for many. So Sunrise Cave people get many shiny rocks and trade much new stuff! West Caves people keep shiny rocks tight, fear to let go. Less new warm furs, less sharp hunting rocks move this time. Gronk, strong rock splitter: "Me try sell good sharp stone axes. Few come. Many just use old dull ones." Lara, fast berry gatherer: "My basket not get empty fast. People not buy new berry pots either." Chief Bog, Head of West Caves Smooth Talkers: "We need make trade easy again. Big Chief Trump must talk good with other tribes. Make shiny rocks flow, make new things happen!" Story by Zog from Caveman Talk Fire, on the scene.
