And great point on the checking account balances..and my guess is that WFH does impact that way..and that money might fuel pent up consumer demand as we open. Anecdotally, 2020 doing its thing seems to me and friends as well. So far during this shutdown i have 1) repaired an air handling unit to tune to $600 2) Needed to buy new grill..$700 3) Needed to repair irrigation system to tune of $500 4) had a car die, so bought new car 5) rejoined club as full golf member, cause what the hell else was i gunna do And seems like all my friends have had similiar things happen..Gods way of forcing us that spend i guess!

Buffalo_Gal Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Bad, but not as bad as expected. Maybe because some reopening had started? Private payrolls decline by 2.76 million in May, ADP says, a much smaller drop than feared * Private payrolls fell by 2.76 million in May, according to a report Wednesday from ADP. * The total comes on top of a plunge of 19.6 million in April, the worst in the survey’s history. * Economists had been looking for a decline of 8.75 million. The reason for the wide disparity was not immediately clear. </snip> 2

By getting everyone to destroy their own businesses and putting more people on welfare, government bailouts, we can get them to feel the same pain as the inner cities. Then we have them right where we want them. If people want money and food, they will have to compete politically or they will starve. The plan is going well comrade. We will win. Once we get them desperate enough, we can get them to trade their guns for food.
