We talked about rents, we talked about forbearance for renters, we talked about wage rates, and we talked about the changing path for businesses. Each one of those is a separate topic. What is required is a big picture view that says this is happening, and there’s a confluence of these events that are eventually going to affect the economy in a variety of ways. One particular area that I’m familiar with is a commercial mortgage-backed securities.
So as we’re discussing this, what I’m really saying is open your eyes, open your ears, think more broadly and that will get you to a place of anticipating rather than reacting. That’s what we do. The idea is to figure out if I can forecast this, then that just helps everybody figure out what ultimately might happen.
