What Will Come of This 4T?

(04-16-2020, 04:07 PM)pbrower2a Wrote: People are now obliged to confront not so much how much they have been spending money as how they have been spending it. Some habits will be missed, and some won't. Some people will discover new interests and talents that they never thought that they had.  Some people will find that much that they have been doing is a joyless waste.  

I see it as an extended Lent, so to speak. No casual dining. No bar-hopping. No night clubs. No sporting events. No golf. No late-season skiing. No bowling.

Also no trips to casinos, galleries, movie houses, concert halls, museums...
What was fading will likely die.  What is necessary to a fulfilling life will return, quite possibly bigger and better. People will surely want to expand their social lives. People will be changing their dietary habits.

On the other hand much that was dying will die. People will have bills in arrears to pay off, so that should slow any economic recovery. But do we need a swift recovery or do we need as a people to set new priorities in life?

But what about the millions of people who make a living off all those activities??
