thanks to corporate buybacks. It's long past time for a correction. I hate to see it, but an economic recession is probably a good thing in the long run if it removes Trump and the GOP from power. I'll take a recession over a dictatorship any day.

handling this whole mess (in short, NOT). The incompetence of this administration is going to be coming out in spades, as it should. Scumbags, everyone of them, instead of cutting the CDC budget by almost 20%, etc., and using political doctrine to guide medical matters, maybe some calmer and smarter heads can think of better ways of approaching these diseases, instead of lurch's method (rump cut the initial CDC budget, then hastily added back $2.4 billion for fighting coronavirus.

Perhaps we should have been in front with this disease, instead of sealing off our borders and hiding our head in the sand? Perhaps cooperate with the Chinese in resolving or determining a cure of some sort? Despite a total shutdown of the borders, diseases have shown a remarkable ability to get through political borders quite easily.

Doesn't worry me at all since I am 20 years from retirement, but if I was 5 years from retirement right now it could have devastating effects to my standard of living when I retire.
