If the airlines hadn’t squandered their cash reserves on stock buybacks, we wouldn’t need to bail them out. I say let them fail.
Banks too. If only they let Lehman fail we all be happier today.
How is loaning 10,000 to Mr Lee to keep his restaurant help things. He get to keep restaurant open two more weeks with no customers. At the end he owe 10,000 with nothing to show for it.
Yeah I agree that post coronavirus we should the airline industry consolidated into 2 players that survive and buy all the competitors. That’ll definitely be better for everyone.
-No one
Nah, let the over-leveraged airlines collapse, make room for current little guys to grow, moratorium on further acquisitions/mergers for 10-20 years to prevent the “consolidated into 2 players” situation, then we still have a relatively competitive environment and possibly even a revitalized Amtrak.
Here’s an article that just came out today..

I wonder if the cash he used to buy money orders was legit. What if he reported that income and still opened bank accounts, credit cards, and bought money orders?
Yeah it’s not well described. I don’t understand what opening bank accounts and buying money orders has to do with not paying taxes…
3 credit bureaus all give u same credit scores. I always thought 🐵 business at the highest level.
I’m not sure where to ask this, so I’ll just do it here.
Does anyone know if visa gift cards are “safe” during this time of uncertainty? I’m not talking about fraud or thieves, more along the lines of the company itself taking your funds (i.e. Blackhawk)?
I’m liquidating slower than usual so I may scale back my float.
I have no inside info, but I am pretty sure they have big $$$ they are floating on GCs, so I wouldn’t worry about their liquidity or anything. Probably just business as usual for them.
I’m still in the worry boat so I’m keeping my float to a minimum. From what I read, though they are backed by particular banks (Sunrise, Bancorp, etc), I see no mention of insurance as if we kept our own money at those banks. Even if there was a temporary hold on funds (i.e. 6 months), I prefer my money to stay free and be moved at any time.
It’s been business as usual for me, nothing in my life has changed. I know this social distancing and quarantine can cause a huge fuss and debate so I’m just going to avoid saying anything else.
I would worry. In a Meltdown anything is possible.
I wouldn’t be going to stores to liquidate cards. More important things than MS
Feel so bad for those with weddings or other family affairs. But I know I wouldn’t want to put them at risk. Just stinks all around. Stay safe and heathy.
I want to see how many people are still “engaged” after spending a lock down/quarantine together for X amount of time… Just sayin’… Time is the true test.
