End of Splore a middle class canary in economic social mine

Splore is as important a middle class icon as full priced Birkenstocks.

It is a bougie drug enhanced family friendly glamping extravaganza for the middle classes and the fact they have closed should send deep shockwaves throughout the rest of the economy because when Splore fails, middle class NZ is dying.

Splore closing  is a middle class canary in a cost of living minefield for the wider NZ Economy.

Splore is a disposable cash festival, if they are knocked out it is a signal that there is far deeper damage within the middle class economy occurring and we can see that anecdotal evidence in hospitality and retail right now.

I don’t think we appreciate how suddenly the economic tides have turned and that in combination with an Austerity Government, we face a lot of social carnage.

I do not believe we are ready for this Jelly.
