How far down the rabbit hole do we go?

Hate to be political, but it might be determined on the first Tuesday of this November

I'm just looking for 2020 to be in hindsight. These two and a half months have lasted 20 years.

Who knew that it could get worse than 2016, 2017 and 2019 so quickly.

Not going to lie, the sense of dislocation right now is staggering.

Surreal.

Yeah, it’s sad how caught-off-guard everything feels, even though we’ve had months to prepare

Less than 7 weeks ago Kobe Bryant was alive and we had the tournament to look forward to.

Less than 7 weeks ago, we already knew about the virus for like a month.

Two weeks ago, Bernie Sanders was on his way to the Democratic nomination and this was the strongest economy in a generation.

last night, in an address that was supposed to be about a pandemic, the potus emphasized the goat economy, over and over.

It wasn't a virus way back then. It was a hoax.

and still is to many

my wife's grandmother, a conservative trump supporter and devout christian (church every sunday and three church groups/week) lives in rural nebraska...we tried (in vain) to get her to at least agree to stop shaking hands and hugging, at least for the time being.

her response? a rant about Obama and swine flu, the media blowing it out of proportion, and ending with her being convinced that god would save her

So how long of a recession are we in for? 2 years? 5 years? A decade?

Nobody knows. What's the market going to do Monday??
I don't know.

Fucking shame Paul Volcker died. He may have been the only one with the balls to to inflict the necessary short-term pain to set the long-term back on solid footing.
