I was shocked to hear from a Republican who said that we were near the end of the economic strife caused by the Covid19 pandemic. The end?
I put us much closer to the beginning. Some laid off people stiff have paychecks in the pipeline coming in. The billions spent to keep “small businesses” afloat has been sucked up by large chain operators. Even if the virus has leveled off, I see at least 6 moths of economic misery before we get to the end of the middle.
Am I being pessimistic?
