Up here in Canada, Turdo La Doo and his vibrant band of social justice warriors are offering 500.00/week, for the next 16 weeks. Unfortunately I don’t meet the requirements to be eligible for it because I’d only been working a month before the panic started. It’s no big deal; we have been saving and prepping for something like this for a long, long time. We own our home, we saved and have cash and even some metals stacked (other than brass and lead). We have no bills other than food and utilities and maintenance costs. But still...I’d rather work and have a decent retirement rather than one where we scratch by in poverty. I can’t sit this out forever though, any more than our countries can.
Some bloggers are predicting bread lines and flop houses and a full blown depression when sanity returns. I am not so sure. Small businesses are gonna get hammered but they always have in Canada. Our socialists hate to see anybody wealthier than they are and will try to prevent it by any means possible. We will not get anywhere until Trudeau and his clowns are gone... but we only have the usual fake conservatives and cucks to replace him. We may be able to ride it out, who knows.
Or... maybe during the shut down... we will have a boom when work resumes? Everybody will be out of everything and will need to replenish. Not only that, hopefully they will have seen the need to maintain higher stocking levels for emergencies? We also need to stop offshoring our jobs and production, and stop importing human trash from the third world in the guise of cheap labour and diversity. I think Trump will see some of this and help you Americans out in that regard. Maybe our countries leaders will start being serious about protecting their people?
All I can say is that I am glad we prepped and saved, and that God (or Darwin and Murphy, if you prefer)... smile on us in the days ahead.
Glen, I am no genius about this but I keep reading about businesses declaring bankruptcy and going under and I have less and less confidence. It may not be awful, but I certainly may feel the impact for the rest of my life.
ReplyDeleteWe have the house payment and college, but otherwise just the regular expenses. That stock sale that "cost" me money but helped us pay off our debts in December seems like genius now.
