I believe that permanent job loss in the US is going to be catastrophic and these jobs will not be coming back anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong of course, but I don't think I am.

My perspective is that of a business owner. Our business was very intertwined with trade shows, corporate events and various sectors of the entertainment business. And I'm just following the dots and the branches to the final results of what my company used to do and it's staggering.

I'm looking at NYC, Chicago and Los Angeles through the lens of my business and without devolving into a political discussion...It's over...I throw my arms up.
