"Elizabeth Warren.s trade plan is bad politics and worse policy
Seriously, it.s really, really bad."
I was surprised to find that that article eventually made a passing mention
of Elizabeth Warren.
It's hard to figure out exactly where she stands on protectionism and tarriffs.
She says a lot of things. I am pro-protectionism but it's not a long term sustainable strategy; it has to be combined with eventual results. Otherwise, what happens is that Winnie Xi Pooh will just re-shuffle the deck over and over again until they can cheat again.

Any predictions for which big box brick and mortar stores are going to make it or fail by the time this is over?
Sears is gone.
What about Macy's, J.C.Penny's, Khols, or Bed, Bath & Beyond?
Add your own....
Macy's will probably survive because their debt load is fairly low.
Penny's has been on deaths doorstep for a while.
Khols will probably survive because there's not much competition in the space any more.
Bed, Bath & Beyond is morphing into something more Target-like.
I'm far more concerned about the millions of small businesses that aren't going to make it.

They will soon be known as "Linens'n'Shit"
The situation at troubled retailer JCPenney got more serious as the company missed a $12 million debt payment due Wednesday.

Funny. I'm using lots of cash. Might be wearing a mask at the grocery store,
but putting it into the machine when i check out. Making certain that I get
money to people who need it on a day to day basis as well. If someone does
work for me (outside of my business) I make certain that they get cash.
To what end? What is cash accomplishing now that is unique to the current
situation? I would have thought people would want to stay away from physical
money because it's potentially dirty.

I just took a lot of money from the bank and then bought a lot of foreigner currency. Just in case there is a bank account lockdown. There are currencies that are total shit (such as ours) but if things go to worse there are currencies anybody will accept.
I can understand the self checkouts accepting paper money, I had read that some stores were not accepting paper money transactions with human cashiers. I don't know if this is true or not.
A friend said that he used paper money and the cashier gave him a very dirty look when he did.

Total shit? That's absurd, dude. We're still the flight-to-safety currency preferred by most of the world. Only thing that comes close is the Euro, they're pretty hard-nosed.
He lives in a different country than you do. When he says "our currency"
he's not referring to the US Dollar.
I've seen a few places that say they won't take paper money, but they end
up handling people's credit cards, so I don't really get how it's any saver
with regards to Covid-19.

Yes, that seems retarded to me.
Relatedly, I have heard reports of package and food delivery people who is taking advantage to deliver drugs, since regular dealers can do the streets safely any longer in lockdown areas.
