Time will tell when this all shacks out on how this devastating shut down will affect our country . This can't continue !!
Maybe something good will come out of this for our country. Won't be pleasant for those connected to some of these ideas.
Maybe some of the companies will go out of business because they didn't have sufficient capitol or access to credit
to survive even a mild economic downturn.
There's a lot of new and existing businesses that will shutter because of this, think of all the Zombie companies existing because of access to
cheap $$. It's actually good for a healthy economy for them to not exist.
But then the
$5-10 TRILLION Dollars (when it's all done) being thrown at businesses will soften the blow.
Think of all the people who live in debt and live pay check to pay check, these people will suffer and may lose their places to live
and their livelihood, because for many, coming up with $500 is tough for many of this group.
Why? Either they spend way more than they earn and don't know how to budget or they are part of the 30% who work making
less than $12 per hour, with no or minimal benefits and less than 40 hours.
I tell all my kid's when applying for a job if they lowball you, counter with what you want and why you deserve it.
If they say no, say thank you and say I'm worth more than what you're offering to another company out there.
And walk out the door.
Remedy,
Businesses need to re-think minimum wages, If I was offered a minimum wage job, I think they must be expecting minimum work.
If only all workers at the bottom of the wage scale would do this the day's of businesses offering minimum wages will disappear.
I'm very aware of all the ramifications attached to this ideaology. I'm an moderate Independent voter with a whole lot of
left wing liberalism leaking out at the moment.
