Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

That's not the full picture. I'm self employed and not eligible for schitt but to pay tons in taxes and insurances,

The Dow is in Bull territory with an almost 800 point gain yesterday. Jobs, who cares?

Nearly a third of Americans didn't pay rent this month, new data shows

Yep. Investors have finally seen that this whole thing has indeed been a hoax and that we'll be starting up the economy soon. Trump sees it too.

I :heart; Q

Yes, and it only took $6 trillion to get there. lol

I was right.

i thought self employed at some level were eligible for assistance now?

You're eligible for EIDL and if you have employees or do payroll PPP. A lot of it is forgiveable.

But good luck getting through the system if you are in Florida. But hey, landlords and mortgage companies will understand.

Thanks for the input! The wife, AKA Sec/Treasurer, will have to look.

Make sure you get on a bank list for a PPP soon. Seems they are first come first serve.
