There appear to be some bad signs coming out of financial markets though. Bond
markets which trade corporate debt are taking a nosedive. Indicating investors
are starting to believe not all the corporate debt out there is going to be serviceable in coming weeks/months. The Fed continues to use quantitive easing, but going forward, I see this will become an inflation problem. We're going to have money, nothing to spend it on, and a want to save it as much as possible. Some asset classes are going to fall through the floor while essential items are going to increase out of sight. A local example, 10-20c dustmasks are selling for $2 each here...

Before anyone drops the hot coals on my head...that is a great thing...especially if it is spread out to a wider area than just one country supposedly being run like a crime syndicate by an idiot who can barely walk & talk at the same time.

One thing I hope which comes out of this is the realization that when whoever moves their manufacturing to other nations not run like the US and they
decide to take a hard line to protect themselves...this can hurt everyone
else. These tariffs being imposed by a racist to look tough started
this...but hopefully a disease will end it.

Time will tell, and the whole economic issue is up in the air, with much of the economy unable to function with the restrictions on physical contact/social distancing measures. It will take years to sift through the fallout, once business is able to trade normally again.

Aunty I'm fine with, nline I'm more likely to read the Guardian or some of the other outlets. :)

Prematurely aborted/truncated, etc. ;) And it appeared you knew what was going on, because there'd be a second message with the text intact. :)

I'm sure some of it was typed, at least.

Hmm, OK.

Oh, I remember some funny crossposts happening when I blew up my Hudson messagebase on at least one occasion, which propagated through echos.
