Exactly. Ridiculous and does more harm than good.

Well, if crowds at the gun shops are any indication, LOTS of people are concerned. If you don't have good self defense ammo it probably is not available. 5.56, 9mm, 45acp is either not available or limited selection, as in ball range ammo. Was in a shop today and "carry" ammo was limited to 2 boxes. You have the proper permits and want to buy a firearm, be there when they unlock the door. waits are 4-6 hours to get "approval" from the state.

Has your sister changed her tune at all? It's been a week now, and tone across the board has changed.

8 years after dot.com crash 2000 and 6 years after 2008.

Well it depends on how crazy this gets, if it's a couple of months at most like I think yes, if somehow we are like this for a YEAR? Well then we have a problem....

I was right predicting the market would go up today though I'll admit it was a bit more muted than I expected. Now I'll say it goes down tomorrow, but again in a muted way like today.

I would agree with doing what Cuomo did in NY to business, to salons.

Cuomo issued an EO mandating office headcounts on site at 50% or less normal, today made it 25%.

I'd be fine with allowing salons open if they cover and do not use enough chairs, so that they are using just 1/4th the full utilization rate.

That allows some cash in, but avoids folks sitting 2 feet apart getting haircuts.

They should also have to do the same in waiting rooms. Store 75% of chairs and sofas away.

Leave 25% , at minimum 6 feet apart.

It’s going to be unlike anything seen in 4 generations. And the ones who did see this first-hand, are now in their late 80s and we’re only children when they did.

It. Is. Unreal.
