That’s great news. I just hope you are permitted to do your thing without "guidance" from up the chain. Good luck.

So here’s another question about the impact of the pandemic. How does the economy stand and what is the outlook near and long term? We’ve been pummeled these last few months.
W
The GNP dropped 30% last quarter and is likely to drop more. Businesses large and small are going bankrupt or running on vapors. Unemployment is beyond 10% with slim prospect of rebounding quickly. Renters are on the verge of eviction and landlords are equally hurting.
Only the massive infusion of money into the economy has kept the stock market up and avoided panic. What happens if reality hits or there is another shock to the system? We’re in a bubble and a crash is possible maybe likely. On top of that the $5 trillion or so is likely to beggar our children. Finally I recently saw a chart that showed the percentage of people whose income comes from wages or salaries declining and the percentage whose income comes from government increasing. In fact it’s approaching 50/50.....a very scary situation if accurate.
This question isn’t posed with intent to blame or excuse. I don’t want to see “Trump screwed up” or “Pelosi is using it to undermine Trump” or any excuse. Fact is we have been failed by each and every one of our so called leaders....may they rot in hell.
So do you all see what I see or not? Can we pull out of this by printing money wholesale or do we face a depression that makes the Great Depression seem mild? What can be done to stop or recover?
I’ll add my thoughts later but would like to read yours.

While so many people really need help right now, and I'm not talking about the free stuff crowd but honest hard-working Americans, there has to be a better way than printing such vast sums of money

However long it keeps up the deeper the hole we will have to climb out of

Well, if you look a little closer jobs are coming back. Beat the projections each of the last 3 months.

It doesn't really matter what you want. The blame lies with those who refuse to face the fact that 99% survive the virus and instead continue to push panic, like fauci the fraud.

If we wake up, tell gvt to fuck off and put this bitch back in gear we will be fine.

Oh and Trump has to win. We are all fucked if he doesn't.

Our only option is to open up the economy and that people back to work. There is no other long term option.

In the beginning of it if what is now known about the lessened risk for the young and healthy the correct option would have been to not shut down the economy at all. That would have to include very strong warnings to the office older population and especially those who already had been diagnosed with a serious medical condition.

But nobody knew that then

Surprisingly, today went very well. I found a couple of Google extensions that really helped me manage my classes, and it was a very good day. Guys, I think I can do this.
