Yeah I think you and OH are outlier examples of people who might benefit from the pandemic

But I think for most people it's still a net negative

And you?

As of now my work is unaffected so I'll be happy to get a check if I get one

But it really depends on the economic impact overall and whether we end up in a recession where it's harder to get a job once the actual pandemic blows over

I’m no economist but it’s hard for me to imagine this many people out of work not turning into a full depression - plus the hitting the whole world thing

If I survive and this kills capitalism FINALLY I’ll be grateful for it

And we don’t know that it’ll ever blow ever

Ain’t nobody know

At the very least I'm hoping the government stroking people checks left and right will cut into America's military budget.

Plus the military can actually do something like bringing me my government issue MRE and bottled water and my goddamn pills

Spoiled bitches

MRE's aren't bad tbh.

That’s what I’m saying. And those dudes are getting paid. Win win.

Kinda funny that Yang dropped out of the race less a month before everything went to **** and proved him right (in a sense).
