bummer

my buddy told me a few weeks ago he's glad he works for the State of CO in I.T. so he's perfectly safe... guess what?

And he lives paycheck to paycheck... actually worse... pretty sure he didn't even do that.

They're going to allow States to claim bankruptcy and the state of CA will be the first to file.

I truly hope that is wrong, but it appears unemployment numbers are tracking more accurate than Covid #'s.

I think we were on the same page about shutting down the economy. How could you not see this coming ? Let us work, not just all the people working from home. The ones that deliver,stock and keep your shelves full. and all the fireman,police and healthcare workers. I know first hand that many of the deliveries and grocers will be starting to go to being open very limited hours. They have scared the chit out of everybody, people are saying screw it.

Anyone fooling themselves thinking they're immune from an economy with 1/3 of it's workers not wanted is delirious.

The Fed's latest prediction is 40% unemployment.

The unemployment rate in October of 2009 was......

10%....

And people thought it was the end of times.
