RECOVERY STATUS POST COVID-19

I think we all understand the need to re-open America slowly, prudently and cautiously. What politicians do not seem to grasp is that the longer re-entry is deferred the more difficult re-tooling of our economy becomes.

We are not an agrarian society. We are not completely autonomous to the point we can rely on American know-how. Our trade deficits of 800 billion document this point well, and the fact that much industry, workforce, product, manufacturing and asset base departed to other borders due to cheaper labor and less taxation bears this out.

We need to give America's core businesses, the ones we use and trade w/ daily, opportunity to re-open. America needs to set into motion the very sources from which we thrive, exist and depend upon. To meet these demands, businesses need to access goods used in manufacturing their wares; w/out them the country stands as a barren-wasteland. The absence of these goods from physical and online sources shows that we need time to re-stock, re-brand and re-energize.

The core business of our economy, real estate, where much of this activity transpires can not exist for long periods of time w/out this happening. We can't just leave our real-estate holdings and their management "holding the bag" while we continue to sit on the sidelines and do nothing; our business venues have operating expense they need to meet to keep our properties up to code and safe for the time of a renaissance status-post COVID-19.

Anything that retards the movement forward towards trade and commerce only undermines our societal core platforms. We need to demand this happen, even if in phases, before the battle we have been fighting resurges only by an absence of product, labor and American know-how.
