    Ive grown a big nasty Corona beard. It’s part of my social distancing strategy. Worse I look the more people stay away. lol My hair is long and crazy looking now too. I like wearing my favorite hoodie with holes in it.

    Well, according to God, hes gonna harvest all and then sort the wheat from the weeds. So not all go down. Many will go up. But all will leave their wealth behind, bezos included.

    It would be a sucker punch if we didnt know it was coming. A balloon payment at the end of the low interest note shouldnt be any surprise either.

    I get your point. My analogy of a sucker punch was sort of meant to be in the reverse order though. Plus, I really didn't intend to go that deep into the weeds either ;-)

    Man, just think of how this businessman must be feeling right now!

    Here's why you can't find frozen fries, while U.S. farmers are sitting on tons of potatoes

    "Pink, who farms near Pasco, Washington, said fast-food french fry suppliers canceled orders for 1,000 acres of potatoes. He has already invested $2.5 million on those crops. Each acre produces roughly 30 tons of potatoes and getting them ready for sale would cost Pink another $1.5 million. He may have to plow the potatoes under - adding to food destruction in the U.S. produce and dairy sectors.

    “Do I continue to invest or do I stop and try to minimize my loss?” asked Pink. “It’s just devastating.”
     
    Ruthless and FoolsErrand Thank this.

    We're afraid of when our jersey run opens up again they're gonna slash the rates. Getting some business cards made up and hitting every place between Scranton-Binghamton. Going to check out an ex-nemf daycab for 6900. 350k single axle local truck. Got a tag sitting out behind the garage to throw on it. If it's halfway decent im coming home with it. Paying cash for it and get her ready for when things pick back up
