re: #431 calochortus

It’s great that some people are going back to their jobs. As I see it, that’s the easy part. The economy will still be struggling for a good long while because covid still walks among us and we are a consumer driven economy. Things will get better to a point, and there’s a certain amount of pent up demand, but then people will likely be cautious with their money even if their job is fairly secure. The need for a financial cushion will be apparent and most people will probably want to save a bit rather than shopping recreationally. It may feel great to go out for a meal again, but I’ll bet most people won’t risk it often, or at all once the weather gets cold and they don’t want to dine al fresco. Travel won’t be carefree.
And all those people supported by jobs dependent on people doing that spending won’t be employed.

Well said.
