this is a “new one” for America and at this point all you can do is sit back and prepare for worst and hope for best. I literally kept myself up at nights worrying and reading and wondering and crunching numbers. I’ve gone over my finances and no exactly where I sit and how long I can go without a job.

I’m done with it. No more news. No more watching stock market. No more AA/APA blasts. I’m putting a hiatus on all of it and gonna take advantage of this time to connect with my kids, make some long overdue phone calls to old friends, help my neighbors out who need some help, and fix some crap around the house. All I can do. I’m not that smart and people wouldn’t listen to my ideas anyway.

It wouldn’t make a lot of sense to push a ton of guys down the list if they aren’t going to furlough.
