I mean sure, why not? The unemployment levels were fantastic before the pandemic. But it won't take long for it to get under 10%.

Also he not only has 2 first names, he has a male first name and a female last (first) name. He's probably a terrorist.

I think he’s pretty accurate with that prediction. Many companies that return will downsize until they recover and get out of debt.

But of course not until their corporate heads got all of their bonuses. This country is so full of greed.

If anyone hasn’t gone to an AW event before and are curious what @coolangeldude and @formerprohalofan and @badassladiesmanhalo and @coolestHalofanEver, etc. look like, it’s basically working from home Homer Simpson. 

I'm more like John Goodman in 2009.

Got word that Tahoe is opening up at the beginning of June. Just booked our hotel room. 

[Redondo]

The word around here is that local casinos will open June 1 also.

They have been moving the dates so not sure about this.

In recent weeks, several countries have raised their flags, vying for production. They tout their incentives, facilities and locations but also their low COVID-19 numbers, testing capabilities and measures to keep productions safe and minimize outbreaks.

Must be nice to be in a country where the leaders acted quickly and intelligently.

CBO projects 38% drop in GDP, $2.1 trillion increase in the deficit

In perspective.  The federal deficit in 2019 was $984 billion.  And we still haven't done the second round of payouts, or state and local rescue bills yet.

[gotbeer]

The government is bringing back a bond from the 1980s to help pay off a record deficit

So we'll be paying for this shutdown for at least 20 years.

They started adding a little strip mall of restaurants to the target by myself. They’re continuing with the project now. Weird
