 So what we've been talking about, or what you guys have been talking about, is the financial dislocations or misallocations going on as a result of government or Fed policy. But also that in this crisis, the willingness to, yeah, let's let the Fed do whatever they want. So that's more on the financial side. Now, if we put it on the more production trade, an exchange of goods, and so on, not just financial services, the financial markets, obviously there's a similar thing going on now that government can, but here it's not, it's shutting down massive amounts of things. And so obviously individual people are struggling. If your restaurant is either shut down or all you can do is take out and so on. So it's at an individual level and it's not distributed equally. There's massive dislocation, but now thinking of it as sort of a little more economy-wide, both short-term, given all the, I mean, we live in a global environment, incredible division of labor and specialization. And if some parts start shutting down or not allowed to function, it's not like it's just, okay, that's no longer going on. It has all kinds of ramifications for the whole economy in production. So both thinking short-term, but also thinking longer term than people are asking. So we've been talking about some sort of what has happened of what are possible scenarios of what might happen or continue to happen, given what's being done and you can't get any kind of clarity. I mean, because I think just as the Fed, you were talking about that they don't know what they're doing. It's not clear any of these government officials have any idea what they're doing. When would they lift? Like when would people get back to production? So both, so there's incredible uncertainty, but also incredible halt in productive activities and how both, are you guys thinking about that? But how do you think the markets reacting to that too? Yeah, I mean, I think it's just incredible and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. So some of the numbers that you see, next week's unemployment number is supposed to be a 3 million new unemployed as was one estimate. At the peak of the, or the nadir of the 2008 crisis, I think it was 800,000 new unemployed in a week. So I mean, this is just off the charts. There's layoffs that have happened and are coming. So I've seen numbers as high as 6 million or even 9 million people laid off for the duration of however long we're shut down. And that you mean US? US, this is just US, yeah, yeah. Goldman Sachs, they're forecast for second quarter GDP gross domestic products of the production. They're forecasting minus 24% in GDP, which I mean, that's depression levels. Like that's not recession, that's just instant stoppage depression. So, what are the consequences? The big issue is that the cash flows have been frozen. So, to some extent you still have to pay, you have to pay your bills, you have to pay your mortgage, you have to pay interest on your loans, whatever other fixed commitments you have, but you don't have the revenue coming in. So if you're an individual, you may not have a salary or wages coming in. If you're a company, if you're a restaurant or retail store, you don't have the sales revenue coming in. So, I fear for retail stores and small business, they typically operate on very thin margins. They don't have a lot of cash cushion. If we stay shut for two months, I don't think a lot of restaurants are gonna reopen. I think a lot of retail stores are just gonna be gone out of business. So, even two weeks, they're gonna be in tough shape. So, how bad it is based on how long we stay shut? I don't know. I don't think government people know either. So, in some sense it's been kind of cavalier, just the ham-fisted way they've said shut down everything. So, yeah, there was another point I was gonna make as well. Oh, yeah, so the cash flow issue, you know, so, I mean, the policy makers are aware of that to some extent. So, this is why they're coming up with their programs to send a $1,000 check to every adult and to, I think one program was to give money to companies to allow them to pay sick leave for two weeks. So, they're trying to adapt for that, but what does that do exactly? And how, well, first of all, how soon is the money gonna go out? So, like, some people are saying, Mnuchin, I think, said he wants the money to go out in one to two weeks, whereas the back office people, the actual bureaucrats as well, is gonna take us like two to three months to get the money out there to people. So, is that really gonna have any effect? Should it have an effect? Should they even be doing that? That's a good question too, I don't know. So, in one sense, it's their fault for shutting everything down and putting people in this cash crunch. On another hand, this is gonna be a huge boondoggle. So, they send $1,000 check to every adult. They give free money to companies to pay the sick leave and so on. What kind of graft and what kind of, it's just gonna be a huge mess just to have all that sort of thing. So, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think that's the trade. And I think the pain here is really gonna be felt by the small business. Small businesses. Yeah. I think about people who put their whole life savings into a business who put blood, sweat, and tears into a business that work day in, day out. I mean, a lot of people out there have run small businesses and be small business owners and they know the kind of efforts and they have everything in it. And the margins are small. Take a restaurant, tiny margins. Even though they might be super restaurant, they might be phenomenal and customers love them and they're working long hours and suddenly they have no income not because of anything they did. And I mean, I think about the restaurants, people know I love to eat out and I know a lot of the restaurants here in San Juan. And these are people who put all their life into this. This is passion, but it's also everything they own. And I can't, I mean, I would, I'd be willing to go eat at their restaurants just to support them right now. And I'm not allowed to. And I'm not allowed to. And some of them are trying to do takeout and I told my wife, let's just order takeout stuff. I mean, really because I love them in a sense, incredible value to me. I want them to be around when we come out of this. And, but they can't, not all of them can even do that because it takes a lot of money and a lot of resources to facilitate takeout, which, and there's not a lot of demand for it, unfortunately, because most people are just staying home and cooking. So it's, it really is tragic. And this is the thing, it's so easy to lose the real pain and suffering in the aggregate numbers. GDP goes down by 20%. That sounds awful. What's really awful, I mean, what maybe makes it awful is the millions and millions and millions of people who are out of work, the millions and millions of people who are going to lose their businesses, the millions and millions of people who are now going to really struggle or just now become dependent on the government, which psychologically and in every other sense is somewhat even worse than going bankrupt, right? It's just the pain and suffering this is going to cause a lot of people. Now a lot of us luckily are in a position, hopefully where we're going to weather this storm, but millions and millions and millions of people are not. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of the stare, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist broads.
