Certainly there’s gonna be a second wave of COVID. Which will bring with it second wave of layoffs and second wave of stock bottoms and all such seconds. No?

Interesting. Speaking of layoffs, how are you guys doing? I am not hearing good things about Roku lately. Ads business going down ?

Speaking on behalf of IBM, they have yearly layoffs, regardless of market conditions. The pandemic was convenient timing to announce this year's round.
