Bernie Sanders suspended his campaign for president today. That means he has basically dropped out handing over the nomination for Democratic presidential candidate to Joe Biden. Because of his friendship with Joe, he pulled punches and robbed his base and America of an opportunity. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/petervonpanda/support

I was just playing around on Kelley Blue Book’s website and trying out the instant cash offer to price out some cars. Don’t ever use it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/petervonpanda/support

I love the show Dual Survival on the Discovery Channel. He’s the real deal that all us tacticool guys want to be. So I reached out to Joe Teti and he was gracious enough to spend some time with me to discuss his time in the military and on the show. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/petervonpanda/support

Harley Davidson has been in dire straits for a while now. Personally, I don’t know if the American motorcycle manufacturer will survive. However if I were in charge, this is what I would do. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/petervonpanda/support

So I understand there are extenuating circumstances these days, but the post office has lost a bunch of my packages, and a bunch of other people’s packages. And they are costing people serious money.

During the coronavirus outbreak, a lot of people are being asked to stay at home. But for these people, it’s really just life as normal. And yet, so many people are being so dramatic about how challenging it --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/petervonpanda/support

It looks like the economic stimulus bill has just passed. That means there will be checks going to many taxpayers. However, because our system is set up to look primarily at income, I think it means the distribution is flawed.

I just saw an article that the Cheesecake Factory does not have enough cash to pay the rent on its stores.

News is breaking about how the government stimulus checks to individual American families will happen.
