(ETH) – Portland has experienced months of continuous protests that has left businesses fleeing the city after hemorrhaging millions of dollars between lost revenue and damage caused by protesters. According to a report from TheBlaze, Andrew Hoan, CEO of the Portland Business Alliance, said the actual figure of business losses is mind-boggling. ”
The financial consequences to the downtown corridor are a running calculation that is almost impossible to wrap your mind around. The financial impacts of physical damage are one thing, and that continues to increase,” Hoan told KATU-TV.
“Then the ongoing loss of revenue to the business community who cannot operate their places of business is also a number that continues to rise. “Businesses are leaving. We need to start to turn the corner now so that this sort of irreparable damage does not last,” Hoan predicted. “You have blocks and blocks of plywood. You have graffiti.

You have an accumulation of damages that are un-repaired, an ongoing perception that coming downtown is not a safe place.” One insurance firm called “Standard Insurance”, that housed 2,100 employees in downtown Portland, has been forced to remove nearly all employees from that location — and the rest may never return.
The Company spokesperson Bob Speltz recently told KGW-TV that Standard Insurance made the changes due to “current disruptions and unsafe conditions in the neighborhood,” in addition to COVID-19. “Our downtown properties have sustained significant vandalism and a number of employees and contractors have been assaulted in recent months,” Speltz told KGW.
And despite claiming Standard Insurance is “committed” to Portland’s downtown area, he said the company is exploring “permanent remote and alternative work options,” KGW reported. Will this be the new normal in cities across America and will what’s happening in Portland begin to spread around the country?

(OPINION) Michael Snyder – More than a million Americans were not supposed to be losing their jobs every week by the time we got to the middle of August. By now, vast hordes of unemployed Americans were supposed to be returning to their old jobs and economic activity was supposed to be returning to normal levels.
But it hasn’t happened that way. Instead, the U.S. economy continues to unravel at a steady pace. Every week more businesses go under, more layoffs are announced and more people get behind on their bills.
What we have already been through has been far worse than anything that we experienced during the last recession, and it appears that this new economic downturn is entering yet another new phase.

The number of people filing for unemployment benefits last week was greater than expected, raising concern about the state of the economy as lawmakers struggle to move forward on a new pandemic stimulus package.
The Labor Department said Thursday that initial jobless claims for the week ended Aug. 15 came in at 1.106 million. Economists polled by Dow Jones expected a total of 923,000. Initial claims for the previous week were also revised higher by 8,000 to 971,000.
Instead of going down as most analysts were anticipating, the number of initial claims shot way back above a million.
And this means that we have now gotten a number that is above a million for 21 of the last 22 weeks.
Prior to 2020, the worst weekly number in all of U.S. history was 695,000. To absolutely dwarf that old record for 22 weeks in a row should be almost theoretically impossible. READ MORE

– Since the arrival of COVID-19 and the subsequent decision to lockdown entire cities and nations , world economic activity has significantly decreased .
When normal recessions strike , they typically involve only one nation or a single region .
But the COVID Recession has hit the whole world at once .
This is the first time every nation has simultaneously seen a decline in output since the Great Depression .
Despite the scale of this economic disaster , many economists are calling for a quick V-shaped recovery once the coronavirus is brought under control .
But is this likely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disappears tomorrow , we won ’ t see a V-shaped recovery .
Why ?
Because of central bank policies and unrestrained government spending .
The world ’ s central banks ( the U.S. Federal Reserve , the European Central Bank , the Bank of Japan , and others ) have made reckless policy decisions for decades .
But their bad policy decisions kicked into overdrive following the Great Recession of 2008-2009 .
After September 11th , central banks pushed out artificially low-interest rates .
These low rates , along with other poorly thought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ housing bubble .
When the bubble burst , central bankers and politicians rewarded corrupt and incompetent bankers and business executives with huge bailouts .
Unrestrained by a gold standard , they created new currency to fill the holes created by bad decisions , mismanagement , and misallocation of resources .
They propped up a broken financial system and blew yet another asset bubble in the process .
When COVID popped that bubble , we saw a new round of bailouts and central bank schemes to elevate financial markets and avoid the inevitable .
