So we’re to believe it’s actually reversy, and those suffering financial damage from the shutdown actually love it, and the unfortunate WFH cohort are begging to shove their PJs back into the closet and drudge back to the office?
- Talanes 6y agoFor the time being, many of those worst off are receiving a raise by being unemployed, and still have confidence that their jobs will be there when things begin to recover. And why would you assume it's people trying to go back to the office, have you not watched any of the people protesting the lockdown? They want OTHER people back at work so they can consume things.
- d3ad1ysp0rk 6y agoMy wife and I have a two year old business (https://hostelofmaine.com https://hostelofmaine.com) that will likely go under if stay at home orders & shut downs are not lifted in the near future. That said, I am 100% in favor of continuing to disallow discretionary travel at this time. I would rather go bankrupt and start over (no rich family if you're wondering) than be responsible for an outbreak in our community. Of course we need to open, but right now (May) is not that time. If I had to guess (which is irrelevant to a data driven approach) I would assume late June or July would be safer.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoLarge majorities of both cohorts love the shutdown, because they're scared and want to hide inside until it's safe. We have to argue against the shutdowns on those grounds, not invent a class war that isn't happening.
