It destroyed me, financially, for years. Wishing job loss on someone - especially at a time like this - is in poor taste. 5 hours ago, jkeerie said: Wouldn't mind seeing Shopp go.

I don't wish unemployment on anyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time I’ll tune in is when Sal is covering. I listen via the Radio.com app since I’m from LI. During Howard’s and Jeremy’s slot I prefer to listen to Boomer and Gio since they bring more from an entertainment aspect but covering nothing about the Bills of course. I don’t mind Howard but Jeremy is basically a Schopp wannabe IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people think once this is over the light switch will turn on and everything will be back to normal. It will, it always does as proven with history. Might take sometime.

But honestly we were due for a recession anyway. This kind of stole the thunder of the real one that was just around the corner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who is an anesthetist and he is basically just being deployed as a regular doctor on an ICU ward at the moment. It is needs must. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly we were due for a recession anyway. This kind of stole the thunder of the real one that was just around the corner. That is a good point. This has been just so abrupt & so quick. I was telling my wife every 10 years or so the country has to go thru some rough times and a recession is inevitable. I told her if I could survive this, the next recession we have I will be ready to retire. This one is scary though. The uncertainity of everything is crazy.
