I am not surprised that you are being downvoted. Most of HN does not understand that a majority of the US lives paycheck to paycheck. In their world, all work can be done remotely and this pandemic will increase the transition to remote work. I live in a city where the local economy is tourism based. I am estimating that as of this Friday, the unemployment rate in my city is closer to 70% if not more. The minimal amount of unemployment insurance is not even enough to put food on the table, let alone pay rent.
