Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted March 18, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 18, 2020 If I get it Ill take it but in all reality they would be stupid to give it to me. My wife is still working and getting paid . My season will start next week and I will be working. Those working from home don't need it. Their income will remain the same and their travel to work costs will disappear. Use UI for those that are losing their incomes . The rest will take care of it self. The sooner we get passed this , the less that's necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course he wins again in November which hes likely a shoe in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you fucking blind or simply being wilfully ignorant? Look around you, the outrage shown towards Trump is currently unprecedented and has been since the election. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have satelite radio turn on channel 112 CNBC. The world is coming unglued and the word "depression" is dominating the conversations.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 18, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 18, 2020 This will set us up for dangerous way more American's look at the govt than even before.

Lots of people still working. Lots of economic activity is still going on. Has it shifted from say "entertainment" to staple goods...yes, but there is still a large majority of economic activity going on.

Like I said nothing is guaranteed right now No , it isn't. I see the severe medical side of this and the financial impact it will have. I just don't see it as a long term financial thing like 08. Yet they are running around throwing money at it before it is even needed. Kinda like getting an 8 ball for st patty's day. Then realizing it's only a tuesday night.

Correct, as I stated in another thread. Those working from home are still earning , and their costs have gone down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some industries they will see gains however short lived (consumer staples, food). For some industries (entertainment/travel) its going to be devastating. Almost to zero. Hard to fathom going strong to zero in a matter of a few weeks with ZERO way of anticipating it. Edited March 18, 2020 by Highmark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
