The Saker Blog needs your help!

Dear friends, As I have explained recently, the Saker Community, the Saker blog and my family have been negatively affected by the SARS-COV-2/COVID19 pandemic.  Even though most of us are still in good health, our environment has changed in many ways (we had to totally shut down our small business for 2 months at least, probably many more!).  Furthermore, the future looks bleak, especially economically.  So let me clarify something
