They’re going to eventually stop, along with many other things.
Will Business Interruption Insurance Provide Coverage for Coronavirus Losses?
When POTUS gets a breather after the worst is over, insurance issues need to be sorted.
Give it a month. I’m hoping to get a 737 with low miles via eBay. Gas should be pretty cheap, too. :D
Has Fauci been doing any short-selling lately?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Why isn’t the market “sheltering in place”?
It would seem to alleviate the issue of manipulative trading.
We could teach the traders how to “invest” before they have to teach us how to farm.
The Dems and the Fake News are high-fiving each other!
I think this may be Trump’s Achilles heel.
I have a vacation scheduled in Dallas in early May. Flight pair DTW/DAL. Southwest sent me a notice that I had to change schedules. Went to web page, made changes, Southwest credited me $82 for essentially the same flights. Price of tickets went from about $90 each to about $50.
But then....
Oh, so we can look forward to going through all of this nonsense again, pretty much any time the political hacks decide they want to wreck the economy or prevent people from assembling... or for whatever reason the little dictators in state houses around the country feel like it. Awesome.
Delta (DAL) down 50% since Jan. May have to jump in in about 2 weeks or so. When this is over it will be flying time big time.
We all need to step back and take a deep breath. This is not the first time the world’s economy has taken a hit.
WWII. While no direct comparison there are some similarities.
The world’s economies all switched from consumer goods to military goods. There were shortages and there were rationing and there were millions of deaths.
It was brutal, difficult and harsh, but the world did not come to an end, civilization did not come to an end.
This pandemic will come to an end. Some businesses will fail, some will grow stronger and new businesses will be created.
Some business models that have been hanging on since the 1900 will finally die out (with some exceptions).
The internet and the digital age has been available for years now but businesses and governments have been reluctant to embrace it. Now they have no choice.
With the old business models failing, new business models will take over.
We have had the ability to hold business meetings without having to travel for years now. Perhaps this will become the new norm. Instead of sending an individual to a meeting with all the associated cost, meetings are held via the internet.
Working from home has been a possibility for years, perhaps more will be able to do so in the future.
Home schooling is also something that has been possible for years, maybe more will join the movement and teach their children at home.
I can not think of all the new ways of doing things but someone will, and that someone will get rich.
At the end of WWII Europe was destroyed. It had to be rebuilt.
In America, while spared actual physical destruction, there were still a lot of shortages. It took time but America came out of it better then she was when the war began.
The 1950s was the GOLDEN AGE for America.
At the end of this pandemic, Americans will return to work and we may just enter another GOLDEN AGE.
