But the first set is useless soccer mom stores... Boeing hopefully should be ok... AAL however is in serious trouble. They entered with weaker financials than all other US airlines so they have a rough time ahead. |

rank | Sat May 30 07:31:48 2020 I was already 100% comfortable before the crash. Shorting oil during the crash has set me for life. Obaminated can keep whining on this board and seeking approval from other poor retards for all I care. Eat shit and die. Republicans who are also poor are the dumbest fucking people on earth. |
smart dude
rank | Sat May 30 11:35:31 2020 imagine being a Republican and poor at the same time...so. fucking. stupid. |
