It seems like the entire hospitality sector, something like 10-15 million people, just got furloughed for the time being. Hypothetically, how long would it take for them to lose the ability to buy food and other necessities? And how long after that until we see riots and looting? A month?

Most people aren’t going to be prepared when they inevitable close restaurants (even take out) too. It’s going to be a shite show.

Probably not long. The question is. Will there be paid attacks by the deep state?

Many on the OT assured me that everyone in the US can just work from home and this approach should be followed without question

They (workers and owners) should be compensated for this ignorance.

Pay them. JBE get your damn check book out.

Certain segments of the population need very little to riot and take over the street

While they are furloughed there are other industries that are hiring emergency people. Places like grocery stores need people. They can find work if they look and if not then the government will step in a help.

To answer your other question with out government assistance I think 21-25 days until we get to that point in big cities.

They are parents who will have a hard time caring for their children because the the government (fed and state) doesn't have the balls to tell us the truth: this is just a bad case of the flu.

My local Rouse's had a pimply faced security guard greeting folks in the entrance today. NEVER saw that before.

How long before the inner city organized criminal groups pile into cars and start raids into the suburbs?

The Elites living behind guarded and gated communities will be safe, but what about the regular people?

People riot when there aren’t enough of the newest sneaker for Christmas. You are nuts if you don’t think we see riots for any number of “reasons” in the coming days. This ain’t Italy or Spain.
