Hoomans and Cats alike are ensconced at home today, as part of a more or less voluntary community quarantine.

The world seems strangely quiet; panic giving way to resignation, or perhaps something else? The financial markets are a mess... the "one-two" punch of the massive oil price decline last week and the impact of COVID-19 pushing everything "known" out of the way.

The "known ways" have failed. We are in free-fall...

Contemplating the world from my cat perch in the late afternoon sun...

Meanwhile, the Steem/Steemit crisis continues.

It seems to have become a stalemate. A long drawn out "war of attrition" is good for nobody. Ultimately, everyone ends up a loser, regardless of whether you end up claiming victory, or not.

Around here, the state of uncertainty mostly hurts the greater community of contributors. We grow disgruntled and disinterested by the whole "not knowing anything" situation.

We "Little Minnows" don't have millions at stake here, but we do have the time and energy we have put into building a network of friends and followers at stake.

And I would really hate for that to go away!

Thus, even though it may entail risks of its own, I find myself in favor the sort of major move I read about in @blocktrades' post earlier today. It gives me hope that something good might still be salvaged out of this mess! I encourage you to go read the post!

Time for us all to move on!
