Describe the stated he economy right now. Well its pretty poor i mean theres no question that weve done serious Severe Damage to the American Economy through the shutdown. Businesses and putting so many millions of americans tens of millions of americans out of work so its sad to me because i really felt like going into 2020 in the 1st month or 2 of 2020 we had one of the best economies and 30 percent with lowest Unemployment Rate low inflation wages recruit gaining and it looked like it was a good we were in for a lot lot of prosperity and now weve weve just really been sacked so hard by this by this virus of course the protests and riots have been a problem for the economy i do think were going to get out of this larry but i think its going to its going to be as a law and slow travel a lot of this i think by the end of the year hopefully will have an Unemployment Rate less than 10 percent right now the real Unemployment Rates probably closer to 15 to 20 percent as the president react
I was born and raised in the country. At the time of growing up, my father was in the dairy business. We were farm people and we lived in a farm community. We had 11 kids born to our family. Some of them back in the teens and when the flu hit in 1918, the epidemic came along, we lost most of them. But five of us survived. I wasnt born yet. I wasnt born until 1923. Of course the flu epidemic ended in 1919. We had no military influence in our community at all. There was no bases. People who went in the army back at that time and we didnt know there was any other branch of the service. Because we thought everybody went into the army. The army was the army and included everybody. The army or military service was not too well thought of in those days. You went in the army because you were in trouble with the law or you were too lazy to work. Thats the only reason you went into the military. We had a couple of fellows in our community who apparently didnt like to farm. They didnt like hoeing
