roflmao, these pencil necks are so stupid.

We may actually see a small gain in GDP, but it wont be anywhere near a 50% drop in GDP

GDP is now projected to fall nearly 53% in the second quarter, according to a Fed gauge

The GDPNow outlook is now showing a 52.8% tumble, following data that manufacturing remains firmly in decline and will weigh on investment and consumption.

Still, even -35% is just HUGE, and since it is IMPOSED rather than an organic contraction, I just dont see it being that far down end of June.

Keep in mind second quarter covers April through June. The heart of the shutdown.

I see it doubtful there would not be a significant drop in GDP

Why wouldn’t there be?
