It was very informative when you said that the majority of governments are failing and have deficits. In Scotland the first minister may call for a referendum for independence which the media says 56% of the population are in agreeance with. I don\u2019t think so for some reason! Scotland\u2019s economy is based on our oil production and to be honest our economy is declining. It all makes sense that the government is imposing lockdowns left right and centre to hide the fact that our economy is on its knees. When the furlough ends is when the panic really begins. There are a lot of people living in a bubble and think governments are there to protect the citizens.<br \/>\nthank you for your unbiased analysis<br \/>\nall the best<br \/>\nm<\/p>\n<p><strong>REPLY:<\/strong>\u00a0I have been in discussions and trust me, they are aware that lifting the restrictions means they have a very serious problem. There are proposals that all past rents must be forgiven. If people have to pay back rents, this will simply be an untenable position. But that means landlords lose revenue and when mortgaged, that means they too can\u2019t pay. This is one giant mess that can burden the economy and create a decline into 2022.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sheep.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-50520 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sheep.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sheep.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sheep-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sheep-165x110.jpg 165w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sheep-180x120.jpg 180w\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then we have the majority are just sheep.
