I think right now yes. but if we don't see any major outbreaks in the next 30 days, I don't see why we can't do it by 4th of July. The test will be 14 days after Memorial Day and the start of the majority of these protests. If we don't see anything significant, let's reopen everything. There is a lot of money in reserve that Americans want to spend on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 My point is that the responsible people are going to be. If the rest of the people are willing to take the risk and not properly protect themselves... So. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Managing the plateau over summer with no schools, no concerts, no sporting events, no travel, etc is one thing. You can get the economy moving. It’s doable. Holiday season might be quite a test. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaches, National Parks are already seeing big demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I think movie theaters can open. Its one of the few places where its quite easy to enforce social distancing. Just don't sell as many tickets. Have attendants outside making sure people have masks on. You can easily clean up theaters between shows(they do that anyway and it'd be easier to clean with reduced capacity). All in all its a much more controlled environment than say an amusement park or pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the air conditioning moving that air all around. Hard pass for me on going to the theater. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems more efficient for them cost wise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Is a market correction going to come? or will it be a nike swoosh? Are people buying stocks since there are no sports or a lot of liquid cash given by the fed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Well on the local level,(Nevada),casinos are opening and in my small town area,boy are they. I understand all kinds of rules and guidelines have been set,but I'm unsure if crowd capacity is one of them. The casinos in town are jammed. Parking lots already around 75% full. And it's only near 6 p.m. on a Thursday. Yikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock market is not the economy, while the market may get back to or near it's earlier level it doesn't represent the actual economy. Being good for your portfolio doesn't directly correlate with the realities of the economy. I saw that 2.5 million jobs were added last month but that still puts us at something like 13% unemployment which is better than the 14%. Unemployment is still a massive issue for a consumer based economy with almost no tools left to goose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Rough back of the envelope calculations would tell that 11-15% of the jobs lost since the downturn were restored. Which isn't surprising since businesses in some parts of the country started to reopen at the beginning of May. Even if we return back to 80%-90% of economic activity prior to the shutdown, that is still a deep recession. And it's entirely unclear at what point the post-shutdown recovery actually stalls, which is bound to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the trend between now and election day is up, with jobs being added each month, that helps Trump a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hopefully just sped up the market cycle a little, since we were almost at the top of one before the covid crisis. The 2.5m jobs number is a big deal, because most were forecasting further job market declines. But, one data point isn’t a trend against the back drop of many industries that have ongoing-concern issues, several companies which are close to default on loans (which gives banks bad debt which they have to write off which decreases the value of there assets, which makes it harder for them to loan money, which can make it harder for the economy to grow)... We will see. The jobs report isn’t evidence of a v-recovery, but it’s hope for one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I have the feeling that it'll bounce up a bit in the next couple reports and then stall. LOTS of the laid off people I know on unemployment now just went back to work or will in the next 2 weeks. But when a retail company with 150 stores shutters, they aren't coming back as before. And a lot of employers are using the current situation to lay off employees and pressure the people "lucky" enough to have a job with more responsibilities and negative salary pressures. In the wake of the great recession, my one job essentially assumed the responsibilities for three. That never ended. I wonder what's next for some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmirOfShmo Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 A lot of service industry jobs will never return. If you're over 50 you might be looking at some tough times getting rehired. How do the ~4-5M 2020 college grads who weren't in the work force count in the unemployment stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
