As if Biden really contributed to that article.

 

Voting for Biden is voting for a generic Democrat.  If he were to win, he wouldn't be the one making the decisions, it would be his unelected staff.

I read that today. Generic and non-specific. Nothingburger. 
 

Several lead stories today forecasting very slow economic recovery. This makes sense. Some of it may be fear but I also just don’t see companies jumping back to capacity quickly. My clients who just fired 30+% of their workforce won’t be getting 100% of their orders back for a while. 
 

I am watching the university scene with interest. I am guessing this is going to be a catastrophic year for private colleges. It’s not easy to get 70K/year commitments from families right now.

Yeah, it won't be a V recovery.

Cuomo says he wants New York 'to reopen as soon as possible'

Interesting meeting of the governors led by Cuomo.   Almost seems like a power play of sorts.

  Meh.  Cuomo can say that all he wants but it is an entirely different matter to actually reopen ASAP.  It sounds like he is leaving himself plenty of room to put off a restart for at least the next few weeks.  I still think entertainment venues and nonessential shopping stay closed for quite a while.

Yup. He wants to get ahead of Trump... 

(which I'm thinking is what Trump wants)

FTA:

 

Perhaps nothing will prove more difficult to salvage from the train wreck than individual rights, the fundamental building block of subsidiarity, which are being eroded at an unprecedented rate. The need to track the whereabouts of literally every citizen in the name of "contact tracing" the public means government will demand to know exactly where you've been and who you've ever met with. Scrupulous records will be kept on the public's biometric profile to make offices habitable again.

I think this more than anything is what prompted Trump's tweet.  Which would be an entirely inconsistent position than Trump's hesitance to not enforce a nation wide stay-at-home order.    

 

I'm guessing Trump is fuming right now, he sees this for what it is, a powerplay by Democratic governors to "lead the way".   The Governor of Rhode Island essentially just said and I'm paraphrasing here:  "We governors have been leading the way for safety and now it's only appropriate that we lead the way to getting our economy going".

 

I expect today's briefer to be extremely contentious and I think Trump is going to make a big deal of reopening the economy.   Truth be told, Trump has been the one leading the charge about reopening the economy, even though Cuomo you could see in his briefers has been very eager to do so as well.

You can't turn the gas back on fast. Everyone will be cautious and no one has extra cash. A bad combination. It's a good argument for getting this thing going sooner rather than later. Another month shut down could equal another year or more in recession. There is no quick climbing out of a hole with 15-20% unemployment.
