Trump should do awa with reporting the numbers until things open back up (a democrat would). Heck I remember when Obama change the way some numbers were reported to make him look better

The number was worse than economists had been anticipating, with most having forecast a 12 percent drop.

Economists must live in free states where you can actually go our and buy things. I guess they didn't see it coming.

The headline is factually wrong. It may be the largest monthly drop on record, but it’s far from the lowest NUMBER on record. Eejits.

The American people better wake up and realize the Democrat Party is out to destroy the American Republic Nation completely. Democrat Governors like Coumo, Mayors like De Blasio, leaders like Pelosi, Clyburn, Schiff, Nadler, Schumer, etc., etc., ared doing their absolute best to prevent the USA from rebounding back to economic and job growth.

Then take the General Flynn saga and all you see is Democrat Party Traitors And Turncoats everywhere you look.

But...the real horrible gig is that history will prove that the leaders of the Democrat party starting with, and being led by ex-POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama are in 100% cahoots with the Chinese PRC leadership in supporting their biological attack on the USA and entire world, killing millions of innocent people.

Now Americans you can all end these Democrat Party Traitor acts & gigs very simply by just not voting in any coming up Democrat Party POTUS primary elections. Fact is POTUS, Trump is politically slaughtering Democrat Joe Biden in just about every primary election thus far. (Idaho & Oregon Primaries are next Tuesday). Save the American Nation Republic by politically destroying the Democrat Party politically, just as you did in the House Congressional Primary election in Wisconsin & California,last week!!!

Support out great, POTUS, Donald J. Trump...100%...period or, you all can just stand by as you lose your jobs, your freedoms, your liberties, your future to the Democrat “Hate America” Party and a “Big Brother” Democrat piece of human scum & vermin & Low Life dregs!!!

If true, we’re facing some serious economic issues. The effort to recover those losses is going to cost someone dearly, there’s no way around it. I’ve never seen government absorb that cost over the long-term. Businesses can NOT absorb that cost and remain solvent. So, who does that leave to be left holding the bag?

But yet, Amazon sales have rocketed through the roof. No wonder I’ve seen Amazon install their Amazon Lockers at many more locations in the Sacramento, CA area.

Yes. Looks like many political/regulator folks will inevitably be stepping down a notch or two.

I’ve ordered lots of good things online from smarter nearby independent retailers for outdoor recreation, home security systems, other personal security items, gardening, etc. All stocked up since early January on necessities.

Destroy all businesses.

Leave the mega corporations which will be an arm of the state.

To the surprise of no one. Funny what happens when stores are forced to close to flatten the curve which has morphed into find the cure. It’s all BS.
