for sharing!

Good point about what it would have been like for many years after WW2. Makes me want to know more about what the aftermath was like and how long it took to bounce back.

Even when we, if we resume normal activities post covid (high death rate Covid that is), there will be ripple affects for quite some time. Fed Ex, for one, foresees a recession. And their stock plummeted today.

I wonder when and if restaurants will get back. They can't get enough help. And service & quality is no where near before, IMHO. And shopping has indeed changed. Online has taken over brick and mortar & impossible and imprudent to stock inventory. Think Bill Maher talked about that a couple weeks ago... Bringing back thriving malls.
