Since this topic now has carried within it US world history, it might as well contain information about Covid-19. The latest prediction here was that a recession was looming. Well now we are darn well in it. Can’t predict how fast or slow we’ll emerge from this economic situation because of the countless layoffs which includes store chains as well as universities.

I would be remiss if I didn’t recommend something in this pandemic. I own all 3 of these books and recommend them. What I don’t recommend is to rely on everything that is online for information, only. Read these books by clicking the links below to help you learn crisis management. And don’t freak out.

RECOMMEND these Survival Guides

The country is now experiencing 1930’s “depression” levels. Unemployment is way too high. And is having a ripple effect.

Maybe it's time to make a new topic. We're officially in a new recession. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus_recession

Thanks for that Wikipedia article. Here’s some categorical links for the general reader: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=11069

Recommend reading through this thread as it contains some important history. It may even deserve an index.

We have serious problems in this country and for the record this momentum is playing into a party hand. Received the curfew order this afternoon:
Notification issued 06-01-2020 at 6:35 PM.

“New York City has a citywide curfew from 11pm tonight until 5am tomorrow morning. Essential workers exempted.” More info here: https://on.nyc.gov/3eGkPv7

I rarely buy The Daily News; this was today’s front cover in New York City reminiscences of TPOTA.

For this record to reflect this historical post, I am posting date and time in this nation’s history. We can hope for a more sanguine outcome, hopefully.
