Almost no traffic on highways

Think they'll start charging people at their cottages? Help lower the deficit by taking away from the haves. >:)

Who do I make a complaint about not getting a chocolate bunny? Really disappointed in that.

How many you want. The Walmart's, Family Dollar, and most of the grocery stores are full of them down here.

My fault, forgot to pick them up and now I'm staying out of grocery stores for 2 weeks.

Grocery store shelves will be full of them,tomorrow,dirt cheap,too.

I'm betting there will be a pretty good sale of sugar chocolate junk once this is over.

Yes, hopefully they still have some when I go grocery shopping in two weeks. These darn arrows in the store really got me confused, some isle I went in 3 times and somehow, I missed the chocolate isle completely.

More than one friend in Durham region has asked “if all the stores are closed, why all the traffic (on Friday).

Good question.

***********

Our supply chains are just one component. Think back just a short month ago. When rail blockades were crippling us.

We can only guess what things might look like in a month, 3-6 months. At this point, we can expect certain things to skyrocket in price, we know our deficit is going to explode. We know tax revenue is going to plummet. We know there are millions in PS we stair have to pay for. We know or can expect real estate to get whacked. This is the traditional spring market. Who the bleep in their right mind would think of buying anytime soon. So those that want or have to sell....
and on
and on

2) your game is quite obvious. Beyond transparent. Not the least because, it has been said/suggested to you, “why are you constantly digging up/rehashing the “cottage” arguments. That is what we would deem, intentional.

3) if I or anyone repeatedly brought up say. Unemployment. You might have a point. Might. I say might, because who knows what next months numbers will be. Maybe there’s a surprising improvement or vice versa.

4) no witty comeback to the fact, following your logic, any post about Covid would likewise be the same? We all know.....and have known for a long time.Or do you just lack the wits?

5) the two biggest issues are the health aspect/financial economic. The latter, “arguably” far more. The latter, also far harder to influence, control. Far more fluid, ( things change it as you have unthought fully just admitted). By definition, every change, every new thing, is therefore something to think about or discuss.

6) shall I continue?

I most certainly am not “Nostradamus”. I believe I’ve said, if I could see tomorrow, I’d already own an Island.....

Grow up Gord

ONE. That is what you asked for right, just one?.

Personally I do not give a rat's butt about the doom and gloom view you hold. Does not effect me. I do remember that you have family that is not having an easy time. Sorry to hear that.

But maybe you and others should take the time to think about the fact, that the one thing that will kill you faster then anything is your own panic. The moment you panic, someone is filling out your Death Certificate.

Now as you hide at home my entire family is out on the front lines, and My wife and I have not seen each other for a few months now. Except for the possibility of getting sick, (which does not seem likely as I had many of the symptoms of Covid-19 months ago) this pandemic has been nothing but financial good for me. Kind of sucks in the romantic department, but we'll work on that later.

If you like prediction, here is one for you.
This Pandemic may be just the wake up call that finally starts to get people's heads in the right place.

Very well said.

Charge with what?

Attachment 39909

Yes agreed Gunter. And I’ll add this, says it’s directed at teenagers but good advice for everyone...perhaps even for a few on here ....
