Related to this, one of my major concerns for 2021 and beyond is how much money we're [0]printing and the effect that will have on people's purchasing power. Couple that with the fact that a huge portion of small businesses in the US are [1]closed forever, many with severe financial repercussions for the owners (who are totally average people, not the upper class many think of when 'business owner' gets used as a term).

In short, I think we're going to be in for massive long-term unemployment (and underemployment) coupled with inflation beyond what anyone living today in the US has experienced. I'm not too confident about the state of this nation's finances
