OT Dow Jones Down

The problem is not only the number of ventilators or the lack thereof, but just as importantly, the number of people who are qualified to administer/operate them.

They can manufacture/obtain all the ventilators they want but if there's no one to run them, what good are they?

 

As the economy tanks, online retailers need to make up their sales.

Lots of sales going on. Nordstrom has 25% off pretty much everything except higher end european designers.

 

The only thing people are buying is consumer staples. Walmart, Costco, kroger

 

I'm buying a new robe and some cologne yo.

Even their cologne is 25% off....shit like Creed is on sale too. Mephistos all 25% off. This is nuts.

 

There's not much I need or want but maybe ill look around. I'm dipping back in the market, cautiously.

 

Cologne is very rarely on sale. If you need some, good time to buy.

Also highly recommend these Aer travel bags https://shop.nordstrom.com/brands/aer--17705

 

If there's a $1,000 TrumpBucks, I'll probably buy some bitcoin.

 

People losing jobs but look at this cologne on sale!! Wheeeeeee

 

Well damn, I like those bags actually....

 

I have the Travel Pack 2 and the Tech Sling. Both are awesome.

 

Gotta spend money to keep the economy flowing. At least I'm not hoarding toilet paper.

 

I think you can be empathetic and greedy at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive emotions.

 

sure. But spending money and talking about spending money are two different things

 

Deals to be had. This is a thread about the economy, money, market effects of the Coronavirus.

It will be a new normal, as much retail is shuttered and changed to online for the foreseeable future. Deals to be had.

 

Also, you could probably hire unemployed/temporarily laid off people under the table if you need something done. Cash is king!

 

I saw that Powells laid off their whole staff. Places like that could very well shutter for good.

 

I heard differently. I heard that airlines were having their best year ever when the virus hit. I also heard that they were plowing their profits into buying back their stock. I don't think they're hurting.

 

They were killing it with basic economy and luggage fees. Turning the airplanes into flying busses.

 

Yea fucking American Airlines charged me $60 for my bags on my Mexico trip each way, even though I got their stupid credit card just for the baggage fee on that trip. Apparently the card only gives you free bags on domestic flights, almost every other airline gives free bags on international flights without having their card. Such a rip off hidden fee. Everyone one of their planes, except one, that I flew on was a flying dumpster also.

 

Just remember two things:
1. Don't wear fragrance around hospitals or people who don't like it and don't wear it too heavy;
2. Don't wear it around people with asthma or hay fever.
Do wear it around certain women who are the type that like it.
