Maybe you're right.
Maybe it's too late to do anything about it now and the population will just have to live (and die) with the virus as part of the risk of living in the US.
The damage for the most part will not subside til next year........for people like me in construction in industries............We are down by 90% of our workers.......we'll get some back but not very many........Small Capital Projects and Large Capital Projects have been cut unless absolutely essential.........til next year at least.........and this is the scuttlebutt for many of the big boys right now........
The DAMAGE IS DONE........it will be there for November as people start to lose everything.......Those of us who were called back to work were told today........PAY CUTS.......All companies have had their employees pay cut now..............
Nice huh...........The Damage done is extreme........with the MEDIA NOISE.........people just don't get it yet.
Well yeah the damage
is already done. Anyone that has had their income suddenly disappear yet have their monthly expenses still accuring is losing something every day that they don't have income.
I'm in a state where there is a moritorium on evictions due to the COVID crisis and we know better than to think that once it's lifted that the landlords, management companies won't start demanding payment immediately for back rent. So even if you are able to return to work, you still have roughly 3 months of unpaid rent that you all of sudden are expected to pay in a lump sum or in a few payments, or do you think that the landlords will just evict everyone because then they can have their units back and rent them out at an even higher rate (market value) but will still end up with a judgment from the court for the back rent due by their now former tenants.
Unless you had savings stashed that you could live off of to get through the crisis, then yeah by design it's pretty bad and in the amount of time that it takes for things to turn around you could lose everything - your home, vehicles, end up being late or default on loans and then their goes your credit score no matter that you've haven't ever missed a payment prior to the crisis. And besides, the people fortunate enough to have saved up sufficient funds, shouldn't be forced to spend them on basic living expenses that their salary should have covered
If we had a middle class, it's like someone wants those who have made progress to be forced to start all over again (again).
