The current situation cannot continue. The engine that drives prosperity, productivity, has been killed. Many businesses will fold. Contrary to what the left thinks, businesses don’t have infinite money. There must be sale of product.
When you see that no money is coming in, but the expenses continue, and the taxes will have to be paid, you realize that it will be months or years before you can once again on the positive side, assuming that you can open this summer, and so you close everything.
Knowing when to hold and when to fold is essential.
The government has NO resources, and it is insane to think that the government can pay everyone not to work indefinitely. It has already committed to deficit spending that will hurt us bad, assuming there is a recovery someday.
While I agree that this "lock down" needs to end today i.e. NOW I still have the feeling that some, maybe a lot, of the small business owners are sitting on millions in personal wealth while we feel sorry for their temporary cash flow problems.
