Same here... empty buildings for sale and rent... massive unemployment and no jobs available. I think all of the gun and ammunition sales helped December's numbers. Most manufacturers are a year or more in backorder... most stores are picked over... the good stuff is gone. I spent the day looking on the Internet and there are no semi automatic AR's and AK’s and the like left. Even ammo is scarce. Billions of dollars have been spent in just weeks.

Awesome. I love it. The supporters of the idiot are getting just what they deserve, fewer jobs and lower pay!

No amount of government largesse is enough to pay for all the crap they want.

I do not mind fighting but we need LEADERSHIP!

What's stopping you?

My employer is a very large multinational corporation, and we have our health insurance partially subsidized. However, due to the economic situation, several employees are being forced to take either 5 or 10 days of personal leave from now thru March 31, depending on position. If they have not accrued adequate hours of leave, they must take it as unpaid furlough time.

I am involved on the Local and State level and have been for years... but I have two businesses to run and employees to take care of and a family to feed. I cannot afford to run for National office. If I close my 40 year old business this year... and it is looking like that is a sure thing... I certainly will not have the money. You want to finance my run pal? How about you... since you made the statement? I’ll donate what I can if you run. Is it so hard to see that the republican party is like a Clipper Ship with no helmsman? Did I piss you off mentioning this fact?

In my neck of the woods, paying cash is the name of the game. My neighbor makes $400 cash just by managing the owner’s Amazon store. Of course, this is L.A. fabric/fashion district where every owner has 1 or 2 illegals working for their stores.
