RELAXING. Good weed, catching up on books, reading the NYT, dancing to
music & Grubhub.

So far I have enjoyed eating, smoking and doing absolutely nothing

Good: catching up on sleep

Bad: too much drinking

Going to start back up on my normal healthy routine when the beer run out

I'm not neglecting other aspects of preparation, self-care and physical health by simultaneously preparing for the possibility of total breakdown.

I get that it is a tough concept to understand for many (especially in NYC), but as with our previous discussion (50 pages back? lol), it's just in the mindset.

I came from a world where you fight to your last bullet even when you're sick, dying, covered in soon-to be fatal wounds, and with no hope for rescue. Then you pull out a knife, and when that breaks you use your hands until they fail. That's just how my brain works. I don't rely on other people or results that come from other people's work.
But you grew up in NYC

I'm walking to trader joes but have to take the train home after due to the distance and carrying the groceries. I will happily risk the subway for fresh veggies and produce. I will not stop taking care of myself and eat just processed crap!

Wow, that's almost as bad as Trump's behavior throughout -- downplaying the virus every chance he gets in order to preserve his precious stock market, at the expense of our health and our lives.

The ONLY thing he has done right so far is cutting the flights from China. Everything else is a huge failure and going to result in an enormous disaster. It already has.

Last time I took the subway was about 9 days ago. I think maybe should have stopped taking it earlier than that. It seems it spreads extremely easily and many times I was taking it I was certainly not 6 feet from anyone, more like 2 inches.

Default Financial impact on NYC

The budget is already 95 billion with de Blasio. The city Government is extremely bloated. The subways & buses might as well be tagged ‘debt’

Tourism is down & unemployment claims up. I don’t see how nyc will not be able to avoid raising taxes if things get close to chapter 9 bankruptcy.
