When they first called for a 50% capacity at local bars and restaurants They were freaked out that it would kill them. Not going to be good. I highly doubt staying open to be a take out place would justify the expense of a bar or large restaurant. Booze is where the money is at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is quickly becoming a self fulfilling prophecy of panic. It’s idiocy. But, I’m much more prepared this time than I was the last. If this continues, houses and land will become dirt cheap as they enter foreclosure as people lose their jobs again. I’m buying...and I’m not gonna fret one bit about throwing a family out on their ass along with their stock load of toilet paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s shit going on behind the scenes at Boeing that would probably make out eyes bug out. Anti gravity designs and weird ass shit like that. Trump did step in and force the grounding of the 737. I think there’s a lot more to that story in which we’ll never know. well its dirt cheap right now 3 hours ago, Edmo said: Not worried about it. My only fear is US shutting down all flights. Just have to run that rental all the way back then. No biggie. Had a client who's an attendant for United. 10 people on her flight from Colorado. She says its bad and thinks many planes will be grounded and her options are either an unemployment check or some kind of partial pay.
