I live in a 3-Story Apartment.

I used to hear people going down the Stairs.

Now, I don't hear anything.

Re: The Real Economic Loss From The Pandemic
Here's another reason, why the Economy is not
Going to return to normal, even with an effective vaccine.

CORPORATIONS are More Profitable,
Without OFFICE LEASE COSTS.

I don't see Any Reason that CITY/SUBURBAN
LANDLORDS can remain Competitive, with Free HOME OFFICE Space, provided by EMPLOYEES.

If the Avg employee requires 150 sq feet of space, at $50 per sq foot, that requires an Employer Outlay of $7,500 per Employee per Year.

Here is the Energy cost figure for buildings. They say it only costs $300 a year for an employee ($25 a month) @ 150 sq ft per Worker.

According to the Article below, there are $17 sq ft fixed costs.

Will the (Essential) Construction Industry Collapse?

According to DODGE Statistics, Non-Residential Construction Starts fell 25% Jan-July 2020.

But According to U.S census Bureau, non-Residential 2020 Construction was up from 2019.

Re: The Real Economic Loss From The Pandemic
We don't owe any FEDERAL DEBT!

The Business model of the FED and the banks; If you are a GOOD RISK, the Loan is Created out of THIN AIR, not against any BANK COLLATERAL.

A member of the Board of a St Louis Bank, Economist Minsky, makes this clear.

Read Snippet from Ch 4.

Don't make a handbill into some kind of breathing thing we owe.

GOV uses the Debt total to take our 'Earned Money' from Working, and throw it away.

GOV payments to Banks reduces monies for Real Programs, that could benefit US (GOVT FOR THE PEOPLE)

Re: The Real Economic Loss From The Pandemic
Here is a posting reprint pointing to CONGRESSIONAL FRAUD regarding the U.S. Debt.

Not to worry...

The Debt is a proven swindle. Here's one line of attack.

To: U.S Treasury Dept
From: Citizens

You auctioned off approximately 8 Trillion dollars of Bills which have a maturity of less than 1 year.

(Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee-4th Quarter 2019)

(Chart: Sources of Privately-Held Financing in FY19 Q4)

[link to www.treasury.gov (secure)]

Investors provided the FEDERAL RESERVE & U.S TREASURY with this largesse, which was PAID BACK by SOMEBODY!!!

Our Proposition:

Write Down the Debt by 8 Trillion Dollars.

You're not allowed to Re-Cycle Debt.


CITIZENS


The Fed/Treasury/Investor food chain is a 'credit card', which U.S GOV calls upon to borrow money. This borrowed money has always been paid back, or someone in the 'food chain' would Squawk.

Most of the $25 Trillion + Debt is repaid within 5 years.

Leaving it on the books is not allowed, and constitutes Fraud.

Basically it is a 'graft' scheme to pass money disguised as 'Interest On The Debt' from our Nat'l Gov to the Banks. I doubt any of the Treasury Auctions, or Investment Bank Acctg could pass an audit.

Re: The Real Economic Loss From The Pandemic
US Census Bureau Now says 4 OUT OF 10 ADULTS in Pain, Possibly 30%+ UNEMPLOYMENT



Nearly 83 million adults reported in November that they had difficulties covering the basics - including food, housing, medical expenses, transportation or other bills according to the US Census Bureau's most recent Household Pulse survey.

Hard to say, that Proposed Congressional Federal Extensions to Existing Programs in 2020 will reduce numbers.

Congress is saying Difficulty is a better state, than Impossibility.

New Crazy Statistic

75 Million People could lose Employment in Next 30 Days (Dec12-Jan 12 2020)

That is Half The Workforce!

I don't see a Conventional Explanation for this.

I conclude either

-Esoteric Explanation

-Scare Mongering

Re: The Real Economic Loss From The Pandemic
IMPACT OF JOB LOSSES ON SPENDING


The second round of Stimulus provides $284 Billion dollars via PPP, to those that have had to close or lay off workers.

In 2018, BLS derived totals of 10.0 million establishments, 146.1 million employed, and $8.4 trillion in wages, from reports submitted to State workforce agencies.

If 10% of all workers, were laid off, total wages lost would amount to $840 Billion.

That is a permanent loss of $556 Billion.

My gut feel is the Economy lost 25% of its power. That is not being reflected in Government Stastics.

I note that TV broadcasters can now apply for PPP. Too bad On Air Time remains the same.
I'm waiting for CNN Jack Cafferty reruns.

OPINION

The fact that Corporate Landlords, and the Banks, have experienced a SIGNIFICANT SHORTFALL in Revenue (Mortgages, Rent) during the Covid Crisis and NOT DECLARED BANKRUPTCY;

Tells Me,

Landlords/Banks are not running on a Mortgage Payback Business Model

Landlords and Banks are a single Business Entity.

Banks Print Money and do no rely on Paybacks
Of Loans to remain in Business

Any money received from Renters/Single Family Owners is Profit.

Banks Cover any Corporate Landlord Operating Expense Shortfalls with Printed Cash Infusions.

Printing supports a SIMULATION MODEL, where Tenants are Not Required to have REAL JOBS or even Occupy the Premises.
