67 million working in jobs at high risk of layoffs.

Happily, the St. Louis Fed Prez says the job loss should be short-lived.  Really?  Why?

Boy, I sure will be happy that my infection will be pushed off.  I won't be able to eat or pay the rent. but WTF?  At least we'll save a few hundred thousand lives of people who were going to die anyways.

You have a Jesuit education? 

Santa Clara's Three C's right out the window.

Yes, I have a Jesuit education.  And given the way that Catholics depend on the presence of the poor and use poverty as stick and lever, my guess is that in the near future, thanks to the millions being thrown out of work, the poor will increase markedly.  Bully for the religions, because prayer is all that's left to those poor bastards who don't have paychecks.

I don't know what the three C's are.  I know I can't pay my mortgage or buy food with them, unless they stand for cash, coins and currency.  Can't buy wipes or sanitizer.  Can't pay the water, electric, gas or garbage bills with them.  Can't pay for my skyrocketing insurance with them.  Ditto clothing or medical bills or the kids' tuition payment.  Or maybe you've figured out a way to do so that I just don't see.  Because I'd love to tell the three people that I just let go (and the other 100 my firm let go) that we can depend on the good ol' three C's.

Please enlighten me.  What are the THREE C's?
