We hear a lot these days about the economic impact of the pandemic. Has this been on your mind? If so, tell us what you're thinking.

The situation is pretty.... bleak? For my friends. Maybe challenging is the word. For those who aren’t going to graduate school in the fall, everyone (except 1 person) is unemployed. They had jobs lined up but then the programs were cancelled because of the pandemic. Or They couldn’t find a job. Or they couldn’t find a job relevant to their degree (being underemployed). My friends are all middle or upper middle class and have decent relationships with their family, so they have comfortable homes to sleep in and food to eat. Though I wonder how others who aren’t so financially secure or emotionally safe are faring. I hope people give the class of 2020 a break.
