Rescuing individuals and businesses. All the massive shifts today are not the end of changes. New York is largely shut down; first time in history that its commerce has been stopped. We’re in a technical recession, being two quarters of negative growth; the difficult decisions for the governor and mayor are: the direr the restrictions put on right now, the sooner we’ll recover. Italy, for example, is the worst-case scenario. Worrisome to see some pols put on [restrictions] that they’ve wanted all along and that will be permanent. ..
