The courage those who are still employed and in many cases, paid handsomely who lecture everyone on how to act,think,speak is inspiring.
But how many people yelling to stay home, wait on the government to tell you when you can resume working, are running out of money and jobs and livihoods are in peril?

Most are bored housewives in their neighborhood apps.
What I don’t get is a grown man believing in this BS. I don’t see many but occasionally you’ll get some snowflake soy boy chiming in.

The majority of them on social media are women and I guarantee they have a man/ex man paying for their BS so they don't have to worry.

Governors and Mayors that are shutting down businesses should have their salary eliminated

I can't imagine how frustrating that is to hear for people out of work and in need of money

Today marks a month since my last day in the office. I'm still working, probably harder than before, and getting paid. But I would love to be able to get out of this house to work, at least a couple days a week. I'm sick of the government trying to put fear into everyone over this. Trying to get work done with three kids and my wife under the same roof is hard to do most afternoons.

If they were true leaders JBE would reduce his pay to the $247 state unemployment rate.

It's mainly women. It's replaced race and gender as the dominant form of virtue signaling. On our local pages it's women still working, old women and service workers who found unemployment is paying big checks.
Most of them cannot compress the idea conveyed in "flatten the curve."

If you're running out of money in less than a month while receiving a minimum of 3400 per working age person per month you have bigger problems

Very few of them. They are the "IF IT SAVES JUST ONE LIFE" crowd. None of them have any idea how dangerous a year of 50% unemployment among young males could be. This needs to be over quickly while the pieces can still be glued back together.
Most of the people I see advocating for this are people in my social circle: professionals who are still earning full pay from the couch or those who are married to a couch professional.

Most are the elderly who are collecting SS and a pension. They are scared, and haven't really giving any thought to the financial situation of others.

These numbskulls need to advocate the elimination of automobiles then.

Zero. No rational person would be unemployed due to this mandated shutdown and simultaneously wanting it to be extended.
I have savings to ride this out for a bit but I am certainly not cool with bleeding my savings dry for any reason, especially this one

I work for a government contractor, so I'm insulated from a lot of this.
I'm also honest enough to say many of these stay at home orders are government overreach, and extending them past the end of April is going to ruin people's livelihoods and COVID-19 just isn't worth that.

So, i take it you think this pandemic is a big hoax, or don’t care one way or the other?
I mean, because if it’s life or death here we’re talking about, that’s clearly more important, but if it’s just an overreaction, then yeah, we all should be pissed the F off right now, so again, it boils down to what you think of the measures put in place to fight the pandemic or if you even think it’s a pandemic and not some worldwide conspiracy to sink the worldwide economy. And so, who stands to benefit from that? What investors win with a world wide financial and economic collapse?
