    I was just a bit concerned when you mentioned that you were buying items to process. It would be pretty easy to take a beating on that one.

    Win, lose, or break even ... it's all a learning experience.



    I'm wondering what the world will look like once we get past this whole Corona thing and the dust settles. T. was concerned that the government is blindly throwing money at it. I have to disagree on that point BUT they are creating a lot of money and pumping it into the economy right now.

    One could look at it this way. A crisis erupted. They borrowed a ton of money and then directed it into the banking system to keep everything on an even keel. That's a good short term emergency fix !

    The one thing you don't want at a time like this is a shortage of money. That could collapse the global banking system and make this whole thing far worse.

    The problem is that there will be a price to pay after this is all over. All that borrowed money will have to be paid back somehow. Payback is a bit*h. It will slow the economy to a crawl and devalue the dollar.



    We might have a situation where prices are high and money is hard to come by.
