Good luck B.B.

We're getting takeout tonight, to help support the locals. Pick up at the curb.

Fairly quiet here in Lincoln.  I am retired, so no work problem for me.  Husband works at a truck stop and as of today, no plans to shut down the restaurant part, so he is still going in to work.  My son works as a security guard for a company here in Lincoln and probably 99% of employees I think are working from home, so he sits at his desk and plays games all day, lol.  I think he said it's pretty much him and the receptionist who are actually physically there. 

truck stop restaurants are exempt?  cool

I think we will see recovery begin by June or so. GDP will be down this year, but the economy doesn't have any fundamental flaws. We need to stay strong, optimistic and vigilant. This shall pass.
Amen.   Being in banking- we feel it is our responsibility to do whatever it takes to keep the framework strong.  Low interest loans (no interest in some cases), forgiven late payments with no credit reporting, skip a payment on auto, home and other loans.   Plus- working nearly round the clock to ensure atms are filled, clean and functional, call center is staffed and digital banking remains in compromised. On top of that many of our employees are volunteering to help with things like day care, shopping for the elderly and other things.

I'm as financially savvy as a 2 year-old, but with a 0% interest rate, why shouldn't I borrow a million bucks and just spend the rest of my life paying it back, bit-by-bit?

Just because the Fed reduces rates to near 0% for short term loans to member banks doesn't mean any of us can get a loan at that rate, with no collateral, or even with.

Some of the EU country bonds are paying negative interest right now.  We might see that here.

And to top it off, two subcontractors scheduled to fly in from Seattle and Florida informed us that their new precautions will not allow them to attend our project.


A missing piece of information in all this is that construction is funded by federal money. As of today four personnel have tested positive on the base of probably 12,000 where were working. From a statistical standpoint it’s an inevitability that I’ll be exposed to COVID-19 given the high interaction required on construction sites.

I’ve raised the red flag over liability to HQs via several emails and their stance is “Mission First Mission First.” 

Anyone got any advice when it comes to what I can do to legally represent myself if I get sick? I’d rather for those I answer to have to hear it from a lawyer rather than me personally.

Because nobody would give it to you without an 820?


Seriously. To get that kind of credit, you need history. Lots and lots of history.



I'll be at my bank tomorrow.

Yeah, well, for people who are able, they're all going to take advantage of this, or should.

I'm not looking to take on debt, even at 0%

it will cost you something upfront

not sure what I'd purchase that will be assured to gain value over the next few months or even years
