Mileage Psycho Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Think about this; what is the big deal if the country besides the essential services have to stay home for a 2-4 weeks? The Europeans basically take off 4 weeks of work between the month's of July and August and their world doesn't come crashing down. Spend some time with your family and take care of all that bullshit that's been on the honeydo list, watch the trees bud out and the spring flowers popping through the earth, listen to the baby birds makin a fuss when mama comes back to the nest with lunch, connect with old friends via the telephone and see how the heck there doing, it's a time to chill out and relax before it gets back to the rat race which will happen sooner than you know it. Add anything else that you will do with your free time while home at the ranch. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticCrusher Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Experts say in 5 weeks this could be over. Doesn't sound to hard for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidude600 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Absolutely agree with this. The only difference I see is the fact that many in the U.S. are ill prepared financially to take off of work for such a long time. Europeans have had time to plan. Either way it doesn't matter. I agree it NEEDS to happen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted March 22, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 22, 2020 I think it's more people thinking how they are going to pay their bills as I'm sure those will still be showing up in the mail box..Some people are not as well to to than others financially..So being out of work for a month really is a big deal to some. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same. Hopefully the moves they made to put off mortgages and loans will help those on the lower end of the scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole different kettle of fish to expect small business to go 5 weeks without any income and expect there not to be major economic implications, both from businesses and employees.

Also Europe has social programs ensuring people have income during those long vacations. In the US we are expected to work 50-60hrs a week or more and after 2 years you might get 2 weeks paid vacation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez ryder Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I have gotten email from both of my banks saying if you have a loan and you can't pay you have a 90 day reprieve. I was sort of upset I just paid off a revolving line of credit from my biz account lol . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo. This virus quickly took a back seat once business were forced to close. Now, people are concerned way beyond an overblown scary cough. This will hurt many....well after this whole “Pandemic” subsides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they throw money at these corps and allow business as usual we won't survive the next one in 10 years. If it takes that long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got similar from our banks and the Power company too..I don't have any loans so it didn't apply to us but I imagine that will help many to not worry about their loans for now.
