Do NOT BE FOOLED friends........I thought I posted these donuts in here earlier. I don't know how they got to that other thread
but hey, it was very late at night and we were hungry. )
I work with a handful of people who are out of the stock market right now because they are nervous it’s going to crash under Biden eventually. Others are afraid to get back into it because everything is riding high now. I keep wondering about upcoming foreclosures once the CARES act runs out.
The foreclosures aren't going to be that big of a pop.
I wouldn't worry too much about that (like JohnDB said). We know now that the government will bail out banks if it has to, but this time it's not millions of defaulting mortgages due to rapidly rising interest rates (thanks to former fed chair Bernanke raising the rates every chance he could). The real estate market is actually having a huge boom right now. They can't sell houses fast enough and prices are at all time highs. If there does happen to be a wave of default mortgages when CARES runs out, it will most likely be more of a whisper than a roar.
The renters moratoriums are worse than the mortgage situation.
Yes I wondered about that, and I think its a big question mark. The property owners still own the buildings which are worth a lot of money even if they've lost value. Everyone who owns an apartment building takes a risk just like any business and selling it may be the only option for some, but at this point anything can happen. I wouldn't be surprised if the government steps in and offers some kind of relief for landlords. But whatever the outcome, I don't think the effect will be large enough to hurt the stock market, but I could be wrong..
Thank you very much for your very kind words, John
I do appreciate it... especially given some of the temperature rises in a few of the other threads I have been visiting, where thinking outside the box, or presenting material in an attempt to bring balance to the one sided views that predominate, seems to offend others greatly. Others who claim they have a right to their opinion while trying to silence mine! That attitude of intolerance is all over social media, and it gives me pause to think Satan is having a field day in the midst of it all, which is really rather nothing new given humanity's propensity to take up arms. I just don't think it is what we are called to do as Christians; it is certainly not the directive given to us by Jesus, and yet that is exactly the solution some see as being appropriate. 
A friend of mine has been helping me deal with some of my government-related red-tape papers related to finances, and he has been telling me he thinks my spending time here has negatively impacted me, since he claims I am not the person I was over twenty years ago, which is the time-line when we were closer and spent more time together on a regular basis. But who is the same as they were decades ago? Plus, twenty years ago I was not a Christian. To say my conversion greatly changed me would be an understatement, for it turned my world upside down and caused me to rethink my position on just about everything LOL. The revisions continue. I am a work in progress, as are we all 
And my surgical wound is almost fully healed! I designed this panel this afternoon:
LOOK! I just found this article from Australia about disposable coffee lids.
looks like @Ruby123 found some volunteer work as a coffee product tester.
