Small businesses are shutting. That is what we are seeing. People are moving in with relatives. My less affluent students are becoming food insecure- so the schools are stepping up food hand outs. It is not a good time to be lower middle class or poor. There is a great divide that is ever widening between the haves and the have nots- and those who would embrace the 1920's paradigm will live to regret it- we all know what followed the 20's- though I doubt we even get that far. It's pretty grim out there in America. It's not just BLM to put people's panties in a twist- there's hunger, and insolvency and rampant homelessness. That ought to make people wet themselves- since that triumvirate can destabilize our society.

I'll take "reasons Steve is full of it" for $400, Alex.

I said.........the people still working getting a paycheck and not spending money because they were staying home ........AND getting $1200 bucks on top of that are seeing their bank accounts go up. If you are making more and spending less how can your bank account help but go up? .................Of course they may be spending online in which case the keynesian dump of money is accomplishing its purpose. You must really be living in a depressed place. And I do see those depressing food lines in places down south, but that is just NOT the case where I live. Not sure what to tell you Alex as to why things are so miserable where you are looking?
