    State of the Economy

    I am a nobody, but I do have an MBA from a crappy state school. So here is my State of The Economy.

    Stimulus Check: Where is it?
    SBA Loan for Small Businesses (PPP, EIDL): Maxed out with funding for less than 10% of business receiving funds
    New Unemployment Claims: 22 Million
    Stock Market: Screwed

    The average recession comes every 10-14 years and lasts for an average of 3-7 years. I have little doubt that we are entering a recession.

    If anyone has any financial related questions or concerns I can give you some crappy advice.

    Stimulus Check: Where is it? (Just released yesterday from the U.S. Treasury Dept., physical checks will begin to go out on April 24th. It will take "months" to get them all issued.)
    SBA Loan for Small Businesses (PPP, EIDL): Maxed out with funding for less than 10% of business receiving funds. (Correct! I am part of the unfunded 90% of businesses. I am clueless on how I will pay my staff come May 1 with everything shut down, NO reserve funds left and NO new business coming in.)
    New Unemployment Claims: 22 Million (Make that 22,000,003 come May 1.)
    Stock Market: Screwed (Only if you are an average investor. Plenty of money to be made by Wall St. "Fat Cats" if your in the loop with the stock market making wild daily swings.)

    The average recession comes every 10-14 years and lasts for an average of 3-7 years. I have little doubt that we are entering a recession. (Ever hear of the "Great Depression?" We may be heading into the "Great Recession" if not the "Second Great Depression."

    I will stay optimistic. We have weathered worse. Yes it will be very unfortunate for a lot of people. That’s a fucking shame. But most of us will survive. I hope I’m right.

    The worst thing that can happen is that we let ignorance, fear and hatred overtake us. If we ever needed a time to consider our fellow human beings with love and compassion, this is the time.

    Topic is not hobby related.

    Moved to the proper forum.

    It's always darkest before the dawn. Last history has shown that when the government (any government) steps in to help recessions and depression last longer. When they don't do anything the free market corrects it self quickly.

    At least there are opportunities that come from these situations. Now let's line up with our five gallon Homer buckets and get our oil ration

    You think it is bad now, just wait until the politicians realize their coffers are empty due to no sales tax revenue. After screwing us over by shutting our businesses down, they are going to raise taxes on us! G#D forbid any public employee miss a paycheck during their 8 week paid vacation! Oh yea, they will probably all want a pay raise next year because they work soooo hard and are soooo underpaid!
