Zombie The Coronavirus Financial Thread (Personal, Local, National)

Always been like this. If you want free money be an unmotivated bum. If you want free insurance get OHP. You want to fraud the government and get disability all you gotta do is go see a Dr.

 

Yeah. The real hustle is producing YouTube videos or creating content for people who normally wouldn't.

 

Most software guys and programmers I know, have a “side hussle” and it’s usually youtube for a niche, whatever their specialty is or contract work. Its also a way to keep their skills sharp and build portfolio’s.

 

One thing that will be big is being a consultant to set up hygienic protocols.in the post COVID19 WORLD.

Lots of businesses will want that in the future.

if you have the right connections, you can absolutely kill it.

 

It was so easy to scam small businesses and persons to pay $500+/month for social media management, SEO, and all that crap for the longest time.

Lots just need the bare minimum presence and consistency.

 

Not sure if its a good or bad thing but there will definitely be those who turn the covid19 pandemic into generational type of wealth.

 

Even a flunky lawyer could make bank drafting opening protocols and employee covid forms or training manuals.

Some of the docs I work with are writing up their own Covid consent/release forms for patients because the worthless insurance companies have no guidance for them.

Also big business in rapid tests. Big discussions going on for how to screen patients. Some docs are requiring social distancing, some are doing antibody tests, etc. This will be required for many businesses if nothing is developed as far as a vaccine. Short term, its gonna be huge.

All the rules haven't been set. Everyone is fucking winging it right now. Big money is there for the taking.

 

I thought J.C. Penney went bankrupt several decades ago. They appeared to be hurting long before either Sears or even Monkey Wards.

No way the NFL will have packed houses for their games. No way. Edit: Not what I want or don't want, just saying that's how it will be.

 

Probably a good time to buy Tesla stock

 

NOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Never mind, my financial planner said it’s not, even with the 10% drop. Don’t get stock tips from me ever again!

 

Selling a property close to a mil. Buyers backed out day of closing (appraisal was a factor)

 

Damn. I know people that pulled listings out here too. Market is bad if you are selling and isn't bad enough if you a buyer.

 

I'd like to buy a nice property in Lake Oswego. I still have my federal VA.

 

Problem is the rich stay rich. Wealthy established areas don't change all that much when housing crashes because people still want to live there. Limited space versus burbs where you can build out further and further.

 

Not only that but Lake Oswego is an extremely well run city. I can attest to the excellence of the fire department which responded to my wife's 911 call and saved my life. I've never seen a city with so many fire hydrants and they are color coded which tells you whether the water comes from the City water or from Oswego Lake. Parks, schools and police are excellent. Tress are carefully preserved so there are a ton of old growth trees out here. The streets are frequently swept and people just don't throw trash out their car windows. They have one public swim pool on the lake and another that's semiprivate. People drive a little slower and more courteously without much tailgating. It's really a slice of heaven out here.

 

But they’ll judge the hell out of you if you aren’t wearing name brand sneaker
