US$ spent in the last 24hours up?

Has anyone else noticed on the homepage that the number of US$ spent in the past 24hours is up by about half a million? That's despite many business owners reporting low sales, residents either having serious issues or being locked out all together etc.

Seems a little dodgy to me,

Residents having serious issues and being locked out? What's new there?

Most of the business owners who are reporting low sales are attributing the dip to the mature search filter being reset during the new client installation.

However, if you lose a sale because somebody didn't find your store in search, it just means the sale was lost to *you*, and not to the SL economy as a whole. Most likely, your potential customer will have just gone and spent their money at a rival instead. If somebody was shopping for shoes, they'd still find shoes... just not _your_ shoes.

So yeah, I can believe the turnover figure... and I can also believe that M-parcel owners who rely primarily on classified/find places advertising are hurting. But the money is still flowing... it's just flowing to a different set of store owners than usual.
