Another that will continue an accelerated contraction will be large hotel industry. Many companies that were pushed into the on line meetings will just continue this forum instead.

Smaller hotels I see as a neutral player to the changes. Less people going on long distance trips. However more will go on shorter local trips.

Winner already is Zoom and Webex.
IT to support all this will be in huge demand for years.

Life is to be viewed thru the windshield. Not rear view mirror.
You are the only one in charge of your destiny.

My job, precision sheet metal/machining is crazy busy,we do work for defense, medical and tech companies and not much has changed as we have to physically be there to work. I see big chains and online companies coming out fine and maybe even better and the smaller ones failing or struggling going forward. There may be some repercussions to China over thier lying but I doubt it will be a huge impact longterm, maybe some sanctions and higher prices. Vintage car parts availability may suffer some but I think there will be less restoration of cars as us old guys either already have ours or are getting out of the hobby at a certain age so less demand for some parts. There are plenty of restored cars for sale cheaper than you can restore one, how many of us left young enough and with enough passion to restore them now?

I see Amazon and other big online sellers doing well now.  Once people can go out and shop again, who knows.   :dunno:

:iagree: Even New York City is starting to revolt!  Mayor Di bla bla blozio is wanting to use the police that he dose not like to try to impose his marshal law.  :looney:

My nephew is a NYPD Detective. For the most part the cops hate that commie mayor.
