Who is doing the big buying?? This has been going on all week!! IMHO, the US stock market, gold and silver have all become places for wealthy Europeans with their negative interest rates, wealthy Russians with their miserable economy and lyin' Putin, and Chinese and Hong Kong folks who worry about what Xi will do next perhaps even more than we worry about Trump because Xi has more power than Trump to put their money. Just a guess.

No one thought of keeping the supply chain going. There's a horrible video of a pig farmer who was forced to kill thousands of pigs because he can't sell them. The poor farmer says he's not qualified to kill that many animals on his farm. Where does it put thousands of dead pigs? The problem is the slaughter houses. They work in very close conditions and they were forced to shut down. I live in MN so the first we saw was in SD. Almost all their covid cases came from one pork plant. It had to be shut down. Then, I Googled to see if it was happening across the country and it was. That was a long time ago.....many months ago. The supply chain is broken. No one had a plan to keep it open. Dairy farmers are still dumping milk but it's not as bad as it was. Some of it is being turned into cheese. Farmers don't know what to plant. No one bought their strawberries so they lost the crop that pays for their seed for the next planting but what do they plant? It's all cycling out of control.
