Simon we offen wonder if our youngest sons family will have to move in with us. He has a great job building nuclear submarines and his wife is a teacher. Sounds like they have it made but you never know. Now the kicker is our oldest sons family who are shunning us has a job of repairing air conditioners and his wife does not work. I wonder if they would call to live with us if things got real bad. Again you never know. Still Totally ADD

When this is over...
by joey jojo inwhat will the world be like once this pandemic is over?
the world has been through this before, in the form of the bubonic plague and it left changes to life still felt today, especially in regards to the economic system.
so many people dying meant a smaller working class that meant their skills and labour was suddenly more valuable which in turn raised wages.

Reading everyone's comments this idea of more use of face time, zoom and virtual reality will isolate people even more. I can see the advantages of all this. Time spent in travelling which would cause less pollution. I agree with jojo that economically things will get worse before getting better. I feel the bouncing back of our economy will only be big and middle size business. The mom and pop/small businesses will be a thing of the past.
What I feel what will happen is the underground economy will become more prevalent. Farm stands, services, flea markets and trading item. This will be one of the main incomes for those with small incomes. Gardening will make a big come back as will as putting up food. My thoughts. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

We have 3 with the virus in our county. A friend of ours was exposed by one of those victims and is in a 21 day quarantine. Our county is one of the very few who have low numbers so far but I feel the numbers will go up very soon. Still Totally ADD

Yes it was awful how the CDC warn trump administration months ago and trump chose to do nothing. He was so scared he will not get reelected he decided to do nothing. Bad CDC bad. You guys make me laugh at you lunacy. Enjoy your childish comebacks on how bad Democrats are. Still Totally ADD

About every 70 years or so the economy cycles into a depression which soon turns into war then prosperity again. The cycle can be broke but history shows it has'nt. With every depression comes great prosperity for the rich. Now the fly in the oniment today is how intertwined all the economy's of the world are. Who knows what will happen if all the world went into a deep depression. Will war be the only option? Will world governments work together? Maybe a one world government will evolve from it all, one not run by political leaders but one run by greedy corporations. Enough of my paranoid thoughts.
Most likely we are headed for a very deep recession with many small and middle size businesses going out of business. My advice is learn how to grow a garden and preserve food. Learn about the medicine chest/weeds you have growing in your back yard live very frugal and learn fundamental skills in house repairing and mechanics. If you live near or in a town get a bicycle or walk. Exercise will do you good. These are things my grandparents told me about what they had to do and more to survive the great depression of the 1930's. Good luck to all. Still Totally ADD

10 years ago I came on this site scared to death for coming over to the other side. Through the years this site has provided for me emotional and mental growth. Thank you for setting up this site and allowing us to have a safe haven to escape the borg. We may not always agree but it's so good to have you on our side. Again thank you. Still Totally ADD

As this crisis goes from fighting the virus to a very, very deep recession I can see the contribution going down the tubes for the wt. Some Congregation may not have the money to pay any money to the borg. Then what? Kick everyone out lower expectations of cash flow or dip into their billions in off shore accounts.
This will not end the borg but it could cut into the numbers by those leaving. We can only hope so. Still Totally ADD
