The companies that will stay down after a recession are the ones that went in weaker, and had to lay off their core talent, give up critical assets, end up buried in debt, or didn't have the funds to develop any new products while their competitors did (ie, you should have bought those competitors instead).

It's not like 2008 when middle class people saw incomes drop and layoffs.

Unless there are mass layoffs or mistakes made with monetary policy, I'm really not expecting a repeat of the great recession.

I made an account on Robinhood and found some stocks that seemed like good investments.

Gov should have said right away, “don’t lay off your staff.

I was hesitant to START investing when this coronavirus disaster started and especially hearing of job closings/layoffs for non essential workers.

While I see the struggles of the working class in America who have been systematically screwed by the system for decades, stealing housing ala Robin Hood is a really stupid way to try to alleviate the issue.

Another option is to simply open a brokerage account (Webull, robinhood, fidelity, M1 finance are all good) and start putting your money in an index fund.

It is a FACT most in the base-line level, which is the biggest segment on layoff's, are receiving MORE via the UI $600 bonus on top of IU benefits, or the $1,200 per person payout, and how ever more payouts to come.

AI intervention on layoffs I think will take more time, but when it happens it's drastic.
