I think the race is a 60/40 near-tossup as of now, favoring Biden.  Lot of time between now and November for sure. Jim

Never coming back?  Seriously?  

Specific jobs may not come back, some restaurants will close for example.  But others will take their place.  Or do you really think that this pandemic has changed the US citizen's apatite for eating out, travel, air travel, recreation and so on?  I'm pretty sure the demand is there, and it will be supplied.  Even in California.  Basic economics.  

Yes, Pan-Am and TWA are gone.  Have been for decades.  That's why we have South West.  The economy abhors a vacuum.  The only question is when the jobs come back, and whether we lose something valuable in the transition.  Something valuable like less mom-and-pop restaurants and more chains.  Of course that particular transition has been going on for decades, but you know what I am getting at.

The guy sounds like he is going to cry.
The funeral music doesn't work, either.  
One more thing, Reagan's fans won't like it. Still a bunch of them around.

The CNN coverage is dumb and often sappy. They led with what was he doing responding to this in a pandemic? Every minute of his day has to be on the virus?

The New York Times is also reporting that Jared Kushner's "medical supplies task force" was staffed by inexperienced 20-somethings who had no experience in disaster relief. A whistle-blower has come forth and described the "medical supplies task force" as "bureaucratic cycles of chaos." The inexperienced staff under direction prioritized tips from political allies and associates of President Trump, and they tracked them on a spreadsheet titled, I kid you not, "VIP Update." Among the VIP were members of the Republican Congress, the Trump youth activist Charlie Kirk, and a former Apprentice contestant who serves as the campaign chair of Women for Trump. In one case, they pushed a VIP ventilator supplier to New York State who sent the suppler $69Mn, and New York has yet to see any ventilators or their money back. The supplier was a scam artist. They weren't doing logistics. They were handing out political favors.
