Clearly. It does remain to be seen, regardless when the powers-that-be finally lift mandated social restrictions, how, when (or if) most people can shake off the anxieties we see amplified in this crisis. Are handshakes a thing of the past now? Hugs?
Yeah, I always consider such market advice with a grain of salt, but I value opinions of people who deal with that stuff more than I do. I divested from fossil fuels years ago. I just couldn’t abide profiting from environmental destruction, tree hugger that I am.
It would be great to see our country make things again (besides weapons and international discord, that is).
There is still a massive quantity of crude sitting in storage tanks, and in ships. The longer it takes to ramp up to previous levels of consumption, the longer that petrol sits, the longer it will be cheap. It will be some time after resumption of economic activity to return to “normal“ volumes of air traffic, and who know if cruise lines will ever recoup.
SoCal has always been a special case, and frankly not always in the best ways, and why I chose to live here in Fla and not out there. What happens there is often a disconnect from the rest of the country and visa versa. I think we can agree the uncertainty is daunting and palpable.
