I know I'm in Direct Marketing. I sell the schlock you see on TV infomercials - and calls are up.
Media buys are up too -but there is nothing that can be stimulated in terms of more marketing or more importantly hiring. My sector maybe up some, but it's limited to people with disposable income
who aren't afraid to purchase - a growing minority
Many people are starting to miss car payments, and mortgages etc. No amount of stimulation by injecting liquidity is going to change that; which is why GDP is going to take a yuge nosedive this quarter.
We are as liquid as possible (interest free payroll loans to small business for ex.) but that is for when they start up again. You can't stimulate an economy by sending more money to workers that aren't working. QED
in your dreams"I take no responsibility at all" is quite the campaign message.
Any other president would be polling at 70%.

When this fades out and the retail economy resumes and takes off like a rocket, it will continue up.

The USA has lost WWIV to China with no other weapons but China Virus and some cash to buy democrats.
Even Jimmy Carter was polling in the 60's just after the Iran Hostage Crisis erupted.
And this from a dismal 32% just prior.

depends on the recovery. China has had lots of problems so their recovery isn't the desired V shape.
They have a much different economy -so you can only go so far looking at them, but I'm afraid what is going to happen is we're going to make a slow recovery as some of these businesses and workers as unable to re-open/are displaced
Not only are these polls worthless but it's so tedious with all the dolts cheering the exact same thing every week. For fuck sake, it's 47% and that means 53% is the other side. How sad are you people?
Weird because a month ago, you were predicting the exact opposite, and you were also deliberately and knowingly spreading false information and lies about the severity of the virus, which is why we are all now stuck at home today.
So once again, YOUR POOR CHOICES HAVE BAD CONSEQUENCES FOR EVERYONE.
You are 100% to blame for this.
The solution is for you to not make that choice again. Which is why I encourage every single Conservative to sit this election out.
