The holders of some of the worst paid jobs in the U.S. appear to think they are never getting their jobs back, and that the Mexican peso is badly undervalued. With any luck, their remittances will help to avert a crisis south of the border.
Survival Tips
There’s always the sun. We have had good weather the last two days in New York, and it raises the spirits greatly to get some sunlight and fresh air, and maybe even turn your skin a little golden brown. The alert among you will have worked out from the hyperlinks that this is coming back to the 1970s new wave band the Stranglers, whose keyboardist Dave Greenfield died at the weekend, the latest high-profile victim of Covid-19.
Any music from one’s teenage years tends to live on strongly in the memory, but the Stranglers’ oeuvre has stood the test of time. If I have a favorite, it is this song, written by Greenfield and performed on the BBC’s Top of the Pops on the day after I turned 13.
Try listening to the music of your youth; it will cheer you up. Get some sun and some fresh air.
And rest in peace, Dave Greenfield.
