RE: Covid-19 - Part 3: Predicting the impact economic forces will have on prices of goods and services

You put a lot of work into this ... I was surprised to see that the demand for RV campers went up because people are using them for Quarantine - cops are using them to live in them in their driveways because they are exposed to the public. I had thought the price would drop, while in fact, the price of extremely crappy RVs increased. Here where I live, "construction work" is considered essential - this is probably to keep the economy going - or to put up 5G towers while everyone is home and not seeing it - or both - therefore Hardware stores are open with increased volume. Grocery stores are hiring workers as well. I am an artist - so I am basically doing art for free just so I can be helpful - I am living outside the system as much as possible anyway - and letting God pay me - I am offering my psychic art readings for the lowest price I can on ebay and etsy just to help others and help me to continue to do art.

It can be surprising some of the things that have increased demand. For example, demand for gardening tools has increased because people want to use their time at home to do their gardening. I think demand for exercise equipment has increased as well as people are trying to keep fit when gyms are closed.

It's good you are outside the system but many outside the system are or will be struggling to make enough money to stay out of the system.

Nah - I am going back to the old way of homesteading and living off the land - we will get by which is all I care about. I am not a capitalist perse. I prefer to enjoy the wonders of Nature and live in the silence of that world more than participating. God is my employer.

Good for you. You are truly out of the system.
