And it’s simple: No Jobs=No disposable income.

They do have Jackson’s backing, but is that enough to keep operating in a worldwide recession that will likely follow this pandemic for a while

Time is the issue. The longer we take to control the virus, the worse things will get economically. It took 18 months from onset to flattening for the great Pandemic of 1918. Things didn’t go back to “normal” until late 1919, when theaters, restaurants and bars began to reopen, and people picked up their lives again— except for the 60-100,000,000 who died worldwide (herd mentality?— that’s where we get it from, it culled the herd til the virus died out, but this virus is more sinister, you don’t even know if you have it). Hopefully, if we do as the medicos today are telling us, we can flatten this thing in a few months. But it won’t be normal again for a long while, until testing is universal, a vaccine that works is found, and a treatment regimen is developed. In the meantime, the harsh reality is that hobbies will take second place, or maybe third or fourth place in people’s lives. So, rather than rushing out now to buy kits to keep some company or another afloat, stay inside for a month,social distance, don’t go out except for necessities, and build what you have on hand, and perhaps we can return things back to a new “normal”in a few months.

From their website, interpret it as you will:
