As for HondaSxS.com and the club store.

Sales are Up and on path for a good year. However the long term effects of all the shutdowns are concerning.

My biggest current issue is child care. Both school and daycare are closed for unknown time. This is forcing me to throttle sales so I can get them out same week.

I need to get the shop finished. Then I will feel comfortable hiring some non family help.

Are child labor laws strictly enforced in your area ?

I'm self employed and work alone, yet I'm prohibited from working in PA. I had a trip planned and paid for next month...not looking good. My Pioneer is at my camp which is closed due to virus. The only good thing is that my freezer is full of clean organic venison!

the wife and i are kicking it up at the cottage,she's working from home and i'm still on long term disability,we have enough food and booze for a month,i have lots of projects to keep me busy,lots of snow,the lakes still over a foot of ice and the pioneer is tracked up so outdoor activities are great.i'm worried about all our kids and we talk to them daily.one son and wife both lost their jobs and they have 5 kids.on the bright side the gov. has implemented access to $ for out of work people to get fast tracked funds and there's talk of banning evictions for the time being.the provincial and federal gov. are stepping in big time.

I believe there should be a third option under "shopping for essential supplies...". It's not necessarily "difficult" here in Oklahoma City, but there are definitely crowds and some shortages to deal with. Nonetheless, we can generally find what we need in time. Perhaps a "shopping for essential supplies is USUALLY no problem, with some shortages".

Our business supports agriculture, so we are exempt from the PA business shut down (so far). We aren't rich, but we can weather the storm. And the farmers still have to take care of their animals and work the fields.

It sucks that this is hurting a lot of small businesses. You might not agree with me, but we don't want a government bail out. The government needs me and my tax dollars a heck of a lot more than I need the government. Keep your bailout money, and I'll keep my tax money. A bailout is going to hurt everyone in the long run, even though free money is appealing right now. Interest rate is close to zero, unemployment is skyrocketing, government/treasury/fed is printing money like crazy and will probably be giving it away soon. How long can you print money before the money isn't worth anything? I really hope that they will be able to keep inflation under control but it kinda seems like it might get away from us.

I want to personally thank you - and every American farmer, as well as those who support their efforts - who continue to do your work, day by day, to assure that we, the consuming public have what we need to survive.
