Clearly we should have had a recession two years ago, but Trump decided to pour gasoline on the fire rather than water (tax cuts, firing the Fed chief, threatening the next one, etc) to keep the party going until, I guess, sometime after Nov 2020. My only point was that for professionals who can and are working from home, money just isn't being spent at the rate they would normally spend it, and there should be, therefore, a glut of cash for many people when all's said and done. Hopefully that will make Jane and John Doe go out and buy the crap that they put off buying for half a year, which could light the demand spark. Could be wishful thinking, but I totally agree with you that shit should and must hit the fan, financially speaking.
