ABA Bleeding Out as Laundry List of Cancelled Events Expands

The listing wreck is leaking like a macrame diaphragm, as hole after hole opens in its rotting hull. As continuing member departures deplete dues revenue and the bear market slams the ABA's investment returns, these coronavirus-induced event cancellations and the consequent loss of revenues are like a cargo hold full of anvils. If the pandemic drags on into the summer, as has been widely predicted, the Midyear Meeting may also have to go over the side. The pandemic could be the rupture that finally takes the drifting garbage scow to the bottom. "Every cloud has a silver lining," some say. Perhaps that may even be true of this lethal pandemic, if it proves to be the coup de grace of the thoroughly uck-fupped ABA.
