I don’t have to deliver the news but I know a lot of the people’s life situations. Ultimately I had to decide who stayed and went and with it being 80+ people there’s no way to avoid laying off a single mom, someone that just went through a divorce or a single earning head of household.
Makes my stomach turn.

Not a great situation.
Been waiting for a couple weeks now for a big container. None available. Seems like everyone is getting to the big cleaning out projects.Quote:

How can we help?Quote:

I absolutely appreciate the sentiment, thanks. Hopefully I won't have to take you up on the offer.Quote:

That means I have had to shift to some new investors to continue to offer my clients the best rates available. I am over these new inept companies. The stress of dealing with them has me ready to retire, so I won't be quoting their pricing anymore. Ya, my pricing will stink for awhile, but I will be able to sleep at night again and fuck off all day while dead.
Ouch. Sorry to hear that. My income is down 75% because my base salary is more of a formality and I own stock in the company, so when we make money I make money. And when things are good it's really good, but we aren't making money now. And yeah, I don't qualify for any assistance due to my income level last year. On the other hand, I'm in the middle of divorce mediation and this shit is kind of hilarious in terms of perfect timing.Quote:

How many ski industry companies applied for and received PPP loans that do not need it, ie covid19 has not yet affected their biz or will not be affected.

Fuck GL, hang in there. You've reinvented yourself before, I have confidence you can do it again.
Don't be too proud to ask for help.
I’d venture to guess there aren’t any industries this hasn’t infected.Quote:

I remember you turned me on to that place all those years ago, I was in there twice, awesome place. I never thought about ordering from them. I'll have to see about that at some point.Quote:

Ski sales are dead this time of year so you are right it has not affected their biz much. Yes I know of some who have applied anyways. The 'will not be affected' is doubtful. I don't see people getting their spending power back 100% before fall. And if they do, a bunch will start saving cash for the next wave. Justifying new skis or jacket will be hard for the middle class. (Businesses that sell ski jackets and also year-round apparel are definitely hit.)Quote:

Gravitylover - what do you sell?
