Whatever happens going forward depends on elite educated millennials, and a reminder: they were educated different than us older generations. And now their lives have been seriously fucked up by, first. the weird populism, most exhibited by 4 yrs. of Trumpism with postmodern technique of unreality, the likes of which none of us have seen before. In the U.S. many ot them have massive student debt.

And then the kicker: coronavirus lockdown worldwide. Totally wrecking or upending many huge areas of business as we know it.

There's been a lot of movement of demographics out of urban areas. Will that reverse? What will happen after air travel comes back? Will people still zip allover the place for business? Did people get used to working at home or will there be a reaction against that?

Joe Biden's campaign is a one time thing, meant just for this time, meeting the needs of this time and these emergencies. A little stability on offer for everyone to catch their breath.

As many more boomers die during Joe's presidency, perhaps less easy to foretell the future than anytime since WWII. 

That thought struck me hard just now reading you guys still basically re-litigating 2016, electoral college, being held hostage to over on Flavius' thread as if things are still the same. That's over. It's a whole new world. We had:a CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC! And a big generation is going to start exiting this planet soon no matter how they die. Leaving a huge fucked up generation behind that will have quite different priorities.

Example: you say: "restaurants and bars". Many of those are permanently closing as we write! End of next year, whole new ones are going to be taking their place. OR maybe not. 

This period is transitional. Only one thing for sure: there will be new rules, and soon, not far down the road. All you gotta do is imagine yourself in the hotel business, from CEO to maid. What do you do now?
