I know there are a lot of Americans who are getting, or will get, economically screwed by this continued global shelter at home. I feel for all you Pedes who are in that boat. But there are some of us for which this is actually a pretty great opportunity. I'm getting to work from home where my kids are every day. I'm seeing them a lot more than I use to when I went to the office all day M-F. That is great, I'm really enjoying that. My job is very conducive to working from home (Mechanical Engineer) and my company promotes it. My wife is in healthcare and still has her job. So our incomes are safe and most likely will remain that way. We aren't going out or buying anything so we're saving money and we've cutoff all revolving monthly charges. Therefore I see this as an opportunity. Stocks are dirt cheap, so I'm buying great companies at rock-bottom prices. Real estate is another place we invest and we're expecting to see prices fall over the summer buying period as the economy screeches. That's an opportunity to buy investment property at a discount. I'm seeing a bright side for myself and I'm sure that's the case for many Pedes here as well. Stay strong and vote to MAGA. It's always darkest just before the Don.
