Sharp contractions in personal consumption, exports, inventories, investment, and spending by state and local governments, converged to bring down GDP, which is the combined tally of all goods and services produced by our economy during the quarter.

If the dollar value is dropping and things are getting more expensive independently for other reasons (supply shock, decreased production/consumption) they should be compounding factors but I am not sure.

I’ve seen different things like alcohol, baking soda etc, but am wondering if any of you have had to deal with this?

Have a good plan to handle trash on a quasi-commercial scale.6: Alcohol + large groups = Party.

Call the police where she is located and ask for help, also the attorney general's office.You need to directly speak with every single one of your tenants today and notify them verbally, and in writing, that they are not to pay the property manager this month, or you will lose June's rent, also.Surely she has a drug, alcohol, or gambling problem, and has simply taken your money. 

Under the assumption that this temporary unemployment lasts around one quarter, private consumption could be lowered by $150 billion, representing a GDP loss of approximately 3% for a given consumption rate of around 70% of disposable income.

For a rental you want to meet or slightly beat them.For your home place, granite all the way.If your stainless steel sink is stained by "bong juice", it is really the resin / tar/ black crud.Clean that off with iso alcohol and elbow grease.

Again if YOUR paying the bills, you should really investigate further into load reductions... how well the place is insulated. how to reduce water consumption, etcThey Also sell thermostats that can have a remote sensor so you can try to regulate the temperature from a different point then the actual area the thermostats in to try to help balance things.

If we would have added some alcohol and a bar there may have also been a couple fist fights, so yea.... good stuff.

Regardless of what Washington does, consumption will slow in September and October.
