Nothing to argue about here. Worst GDP drop in US recorded history.

Hedge got arrested again. He called me for bail money. I thought I paid it but I could have been distracted.

Ha. A real, big time depression is coming even if we went full steam ahead now, IMO. Many businesses will not re-open, many businesses will not staff up to pre-COVID levels. Entertainment will (such as your fall festivals) for the foreseeable future, even after this has past, be seen as risky ventures that might get cancelled for some emergency for years to come. Each little drip is one other person who cant buy as much shit as they used to, and then that company they used to buy more from cant survive, multiplied by millions/billions/trillions of cascading drips. Pre COVID and post COVID are two different eras in history, and the differences will be more and more stark the longer this shut down orders go on. We are being kept afloat right now only by a firehose of stimulus checks, unemployment bennies that are the equivalent of $30,000-50,000 salaries, and foregivable stimulus loans to businesses.

4 more years!

Fucktards.

I’m worth it. (Was gonna try and meet them halfway).

we want to move but people are blocking the road!.....fucking morons

Even though the economy had bad news, the big tech companies reported incredible quarterly earnings which shot their share price up 5% in after hours trading. On one hand I’m happy since I’m heavily invested, on the other I’m afraid we have our own version of oligarchs.

Yeah because it's still light out and that isn't even your city. Damn E. If you're gonna be a racist don't be so obvious about it. At least in public. In here we already know.

Ya knew this was coming. Biden might be senile but he was sane enough to predict this like most of us. Trump knows it's over. So does prof and crotch. That's why they fled this place. They hate me being right.

"Incredible earnings" accompanied to what extent exactly by stock buybacks with money from the CARES act?

Of course tech companies got a boost. What the fuck else do we have to do? If you were smart and got into zoom stock early in March you are eating well. Hang on to it. Wave 2 is coming

quite a bit of restraint. I would have shot that motherfucker as soon as he said he'd kill me

around here boats, rvs, atvs and outdoor sports equipment is selling fast. Once this covid-19 dies down you'll see some bargains on craigslist from people unloading it

With low rates, real estate is selling like hotcakes. Homes are only on the market for a couple of days before the sellers give a deadline for best bids, and people are buying over list at a significant rate.

This balloon is about to burst wide the fuck open, and everything is going to make 2008-2010 look like chickenshit.

Gotta spend that Monopoly money

Save as much as you can. You'll clean up.

this is mafia shit...BLM demanding store owner submit to their demands or face harrassment

According to a press release, members of the city's Cuban community will meet outside the NuLu restaurant at 4 p.m. Sunday to support the immigrant-owned business, which "has been subject to vandalism and extortion in recent days."

The release states that La Bodeguita de Mima was forced to close July 24 during a demonstration that shut down East Market Street, at which several protesters presented Martinez with the list of demands and said he "better put the letter on the door so your business is not f*cked with."

The restaurant remained closed the next two days because "management and staff were concerned about safety," according to the release. "30+ staff members (mostly immigrants) were unable to earn a paycheck."

On Thursday, a small group of protesters returned to the restaurant after seeing Martinez's post about the demands on Facebook. While there, one protester smashed a flower pot outside the business, while the rest spoke with Martinez and other employees about why the demands are needed.

The demands and an attached contract, which were created by local organizers and activists, ask NuLu business owners to:

Adequately represent the Black population of Louisville by having a minimum of 23% Black staff;
Purchase a minimum of 23% inventory from Black retailers or make a recurring monthly donation of 1.5% of net sales to a local Black nonprofit or organization;
Require diversity and inclusion training for all staff members on a bi-annual basis;
And display a visible sign that increases awareness and shows support for the reparations movement.

Phelix Crittenden, an activist who works with Black Lives Matter Louisville, said the demands and related "NuLu social justice health and wellness ratings" were not meant to be a threat but were instead intended to start a conversation with owners about how their businesses can better reflect and support Black people.
