Signature Bank was being sued over FTX.

Yea Im worried about this summer. I dont think I will have much work. In 2008 I had a bunch of fed work at the VA and with HUD to keep me afloat while competitors were selling their trucks and equipment. I dont have that cushion this time. The one advantage I have this time though is all my trucks and equipment is paid in full so I dont have a ton of big loans out there.
My guys and girls though I am worried about. If we arent working I cant pay their insurance. Ill try as long as I can. The younger guys with no kids will be fine but I have one girl who just told me she is pregnant with her first. They are like my kids.
Praying for you and your employees that you keep steady work
Why ty friend.
Prayers are with you, fren. It is very hard to re-train to get new skills, but God truly will lead in the right direction if needed. Just pray and be positive, and all needed answers will come to you, believe it or not. You can spike your positivity and "receptiveness" by listening to 432 Hz music or compositions. I prefer classical.
