Were about to hear some very good Economic News after recordbreaking declines in economical activity in the Second Quarter of 2020, well be see eyepopping consensus, 25 growth in the third quarter. We should not lose sight of what that means for people who are still struggling and the fact that we still have a deep hole to climb out of. Much has been written about the kshape recovery.
