For the past 4 years I’ve been waiting on a recession. I thought it would be just the normal Wall Street shenanigans or something, I never expected this.
I hope you and your family are safe and healthy, that’s our first order of business.
While it’s frightening watching the pandemic spread and not knowing when it will let up or how bad it will be, we will get to the other side of this and I’m hoping that we’ll look at things a bit differently. Maybe our healthcare system could put the health of all and more capacity and distributed supply chain ahead of just in time profits at all costs to “maximize shareholder value.”
I wrote a piece last week on the Trust Insights website about why this could be a defining moment for us, a time when everyone around the world can work together to build a better future. Please check it out, I would love to hear your opinion on it.
With our normal daily routines gone be sure you’re doing things to keep your brain healthy and minimize stress. Here’s a list I swiped from Christopher Penn:
- Endorphins – get some exercise
- Dopamine – play some games
- Serotonin – foods rich in tryptophan
- Oxytocin – Barry White time

One reply on “The Great Shutdown”
Hey John… nice to see something on this feed, even though the catalyst for it is less than idea.
This is going to be a challenge for everyone, and not going to even predict what will happen. But I am going to try to ensure I am doing all I can to weather this.
And I am writing more… but you still subscribe to my feed so you knew that…! 🙂
