- Stimulus checks of over 2k could be distributed to each american.
- Window washers circled my apartment while I was wfh. I could never do that job. The heights are terrifying. He did one vertical slice and skipped the rest?
- TP hoarding is weird. Unlike hand sanitizer or other consumables, your usage won’t change. Therefore the longterm business impace won’t change, sales will just spike now and lull accordingly later.
- UFC postponing the next 3 events, but keeping the 4th (Khabib/Tony) on schedule for Apr 18th (one month).
- Watched don’t f*ck with cats. Got extra mad when he killed the dog tho.
- Tripped the level 1 circuit breaker -7% again today.
- Webex is obviously seeing increased load worldwide as most offices become remote. This caused a lot of degraded performance today.
- On a more general note, I think the push toward remote work culture is good. This is a coerced change, and is batched way too large, but provides good insight. In the future, we should incremental move toward this state, but maintaining steady equilibrium with each step.
- “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.” Interesting relevance to the airlines right now. Been doing fine for years, but spending >95% of free cash flow on buybacks, and now can’t survive a few months of adversity. Maintaining liquidity to cover debt during a downturn = an emergency fund, but for corporations instead of individuals. Smart.
- A little self perspective during these crazy times: Every human across the globe is struggling with a worldwide pandemic and an economic recession of almost unprecedented decline. A rare event – once in a lifetime, if we’re lucky. On top of these ubiquitous problems, I have moved across the country, started a new job, dealt with no familiarity, no friends, long distance, new coast, new weather, new office, new apartment, new routines in every short-term habit and long-term hobby. It’s overwhelming, but I’m able to recognize that these additional uncertainties shroud blessings, not rights. I’m not dealing with a dying relative. I’m not fighting hunger. I’m not ailing from poor health, lack of income, or other fundamental struggles. There’s much to be thankful for, even in this strange valley.
