I'd appreciate it if you'd answer two quick multiple choice questions!

You might be wondering why..

Consumer spending accounts for more than two thirds of US GDP. In other words, if we each were to spend half of what we normally do, GDP would drop by one third. (And even that worse-than-Great Depression scenario is optimistic, because businesses stop investing in making new products when they don't have buyers, bringing GDP down further..)

I'm developing an economic model that uses data from this survey and sources such as the Bureau of Economic Analysis (national income and product accounts), Federal Reserve (national financial accounts), Bureau of Labor Statistics (unemployment claims), IHS Markit (purchasing managers' index), Homebase (hours worked), Google (mobility data), and others to provide a GDP forecast for respondents.

And who knows? The wisdom of this crowd might make for some pretty accurate forecasts.
