If this continues for a long period we'll get into UBI discussion. [Reply]

Fingers crossed.
It's the only way out of this in which both "sides" will mostly be satisfied. [Reply]

No that's true. If there are no more stimulus plans there's going to be a lot of people hurting.
It's just the reality of the situation. Because there's no doubt opening things up will help some people, but there are a lot of people who will still be left out to dry. Businesses are going to have restrictions on people in stores or restaurants, combined with the fact that a lot of people will just want to order everything from home and not risk it... I just find it extremely hard to believe that all businesses will be doing the same amount of business that sustained them before. Everyone will have to go work for the toilet paper factory. [Reply]
