I'm curious how everyone's going to react once this obvious distraction with the China virus is over and they realize the world economy has been destroyed by the CCP. 27 million Americans have signed up for unemployment in the last 6 weeks... they're all going to get weekly checks plus and extra $600. Like the drug dealer giving out free heroin... what could go wrong?

I have been having this discussion a lot. It is going to be very difficult to coax some workers off the couch.

Yup...we initially had to let go a sub-contactor we use as supplemental manpower 4 weeks ago as one of our projects was shutdown. Tried to get them back today and was told by the owner that his men were quite comfortable collecting unemployment!
