    I guess the government is going to send all of us a check for more than $1,000 in the next couple of weeks.

    Yea my sitting on the beach and drinking Coronas is being dramatically hindered by the Hysteria on the TV and TTR .

    Yeah well, when you print the money, you can give away as much as you want.

    Just think about all the small business folks who have storefront commercial leases which are tied to their personal assets as collateral.

    It's not American capitalism to gouge in times of need. He would never dream of doing it if he had to exchange money face to face. Dude was pretty smart though. I think the fact that it is just hand sanitizer softens it. If it was baby formula we would all want to hang him.
    I have been struggling with this one. Lol. I have a hard time accepting the fact some douchebag who rented a truck and cleaned out the dollar stores is a capitalist. Instead he is just a opportunist hiding behind E Bay and his computer.
    I applaud the guy for his foresight, but he is getting his just do.[/QUOTE]

    I told my twenty year old son he and his kids are on the hook for it. You just can't print it. When you shut a economy down for just a week you already know there will be a recession. I think the Fed is trying to stave off is a world wide depression.
    I have a pint of rubbing alcohol and a full bottle of hand sanitizer. Gonna keep on trucking. I think we are the only country who can pull the rest of the slackers through a depression. God help our kids and grandchildren though.

    I was bashing Uber yesterday and cancelled a load for a better paying one on Convoy. I may have been a bit hasty with my criticism.

    Within the last hour, California ordered a mandatory lock down for the entire state for 3 weeks. Just out of curiosity I went onto the Uber app and the rates are going through the roof. Unfortunately I'm already booked for the week, but here in NorCal I'm seeing some rates over $6.50 per mile. So if you're in the communist state and have the Uber app, check it out. The Convoy app is still showing improvement, but nothing close to what Uber has at the moment.
