Interesting read and that Eccles chap seemed to be ahead of the game.

What’s your thoughts on the article Richard or anyone and do you see us making the same
mistakes as before when coming out of a recession.

Look at DTD for an example .

Independent , superbly run high quality business.

Not many leeks in his operation.

Through no fault of his own it’s obviously very difficult for it to continue.

Rob must look at the cards he has been dealt and see 27 off suit every time
while the virus holds all the aces.

At some stage you just run out of chips no matter how good you are at adjusting.

I wouldn’t say they are hobbies.

Retail was already difficult and many Independent sole traders/partnerships were
just scraping by and with decrease in foot fall over the next 12 months they can’t survive.

No one is going to replace them.

The biggest winner out of all this is surely Jeff Bezos.

All those old and vulnerable people getting taught by their kids how to order stuff online and
finding out how simple , quick and efficient the process is.

I get that the leaner more efficient businesses will survive and prosper but for consumers
It will mean less choice less diversity and the high street declining at a far greater pace
than currently.

This pandemic will exacerbate the already huge wealth inequality in society.

So much wealth concentrated by so few individuals means they just buy out competing companies or use
their financial muscle to break them.

The figures in wealth inequality are staggering and in my opinion the only people who are going to get
substantially richer from this pandemic are those who are already mega rich.

Understand your argument , it's a bit like the internet boom where first in with a decent project got the lot.

Not a cat in hell's chance of a fast economic recovery.

Sharp quick thinking business people will make fortunes in this era because change always provides the fastest thinking with the best opportunities to have it right off who can see the future before the future happens.  This is one of those moments.  Dinosaurs will die but the razor sharp will love these economic circumstances.

They may make fortunes for themselves , plenty of sharks in the water and asset strippers.

Although as I understand the club was not profitable , to see what you have created against all the odds and
the power and money of the big casino operators , it must be heartbreaking to see in effect "his baby" suffer in
this way.

A fantastic club , great staff , great atmosphere , felt completely at ease there , which i didn't find at other casinos.

Online just doesn't do it for me and i know many others feel the same.

Sorry for derailing the thread , obviously understand much bigger issues on the line.

Not a cat in hell's chance of a fast economic recovery.

Slow and painful maybe.

Until a vaccine is found and mass produced or decent therapeutics available then the world as we knew
before has long gone.

As an aside , Dusk Till Dawn must be in danger of closing down ?

Very difficult to observe any protocols with how poker is played sharing chips cards etc.

If the number of deaths flatten out to 300 plus a day and the R number stays around 0.7-0.9  is that
not just going to delay the economy recovering even further.

As Winston Churchill said "If your going through hell , keep going "

https://phys.org/news/2020-04-stronger-pandemic-response-yields-economic.html

there were 626 deaths yesterday. We’ve been in 600+ deaths for many days on a very shallow decline from the pesk

One of the government’s five tests for ADJUSTING (not lifting) the lockdown is a “sustained and consistent fall in daily deaths”.

It feels mad that the PM is even adjusting lockdown on Sunday no?

It is noticeably busy around my village today. Those midweek happy Monday tabloid headlines also seemed nuts to me.

Agree. The decline in the curve is stubbornly slower than the incline and adjusting lockdown in any shape or form at this
stage will further hinder efforts to get numbers down quicker and may well flatten out .

Why cant we wait 3-4 weeks to see how other countries results are who have started relaxing measures.

Mike Pence caught on hot mic delivering empty boxes of PPE for a PR stunt.

For fucks sake.

Trump and Pence , the deadly duo of Chucklebrothers.

Never seen anything like it.

Has the DOJ ever dropped a case before when a person has pleaded guilty ?

As Trump repeatedly says , you have never seen nothing like it before , an incredible job .

I did enjoy, in a ghoulish way, the workers blasting live and let die as Trump toured the Arizona mask plant

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-tours-factory-maskless-live-and-let-die-song-994546/

Trump no face mask, boss touches facemask with ungloved hand then tosses back onto the pile.

Strange times.

You just could not make it up  

Whoever did the playlist deserves a medal.

Something you've never seen before Mr trump.
