The United States economy is in a recession and hopefully will not turn into a depression. 3.3 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week.  

To me it seems that the people described in this post want American freedoms with socialist laws.

They are trying to intimidate people into submission and the Freedom loving Americans should be up in arms with what they are trying to do.

I feel sad, scared and embarrassed that this wasn't taken more seriously early on and that so many Americans will lose their livelihood and some their lives.

As I look to what my government would never tell us, about what is next, I think about so much in other nations that we Americans really cannot live comfortably without.

First American Title.

We need to remember there is more to this world than just trying to be "Gordon Gekko" or going after that "American Dream"... there is a spherical life of holistic beauty out there and I intend to live it to the fullest when this passes.... because yes, this too shall pass.

Of course we’ve been very concerned with the corona virus pandemic as most Americans have, and particularly how it might impact our own specific nightmare.

for average american home owners who are not in the real estate rental game I totally get DR approach.
