Nick, my heart goes out to all the service workers made unemployed from this.
We really need cash payments to those affected such as you. I hope labels of socialism and other political theory b.s. gets tossed aside and we just get creative.
That money has to come from somewhere and is something neither my wife or I want to take... We have always worked hard for everything we have and will continue to find whatever work we can until this passes. It has always bothered me how many people are out there taking advantage of what they think of as "free money". You would not believe all the letters and phone calls we get from the county/state when my wife was pregnant and after the baby was born telling us to sign up for this and that... I refuse to sign up for any of that because we wanted to have the kids and should have the ability to take care of them ourselves. A lot of the waitresses my wife works with are thinking of this as a vacation and the cashiers/cooks that are still at work are spending the slow time playing on their phones while my wife is scrubbing/sanitizing the restaurant floor to ceiling. The skin is literally falling off of her hands from washing/sanitizing so often.
The hardest part will be the time away from my parents (mid 50's and only 2 blocks away from home) and my grandparents (81 & 76), we visit with them two or three times a week, but if we are continuing to be out, I don't want to risk their health...
Also not looking good for LeSueur Swap Meet or Steam School
