I agree. A good portion of the 40m job loss are not gonna be fully recovered even if the situation improved a little, not to mention it is getting worse by the day.


I actually suspect part of the widespread looting is because people who used to have low paying hourly wages before COVID lockdown feel this dread and desperation as this economic depression unfolds.


Yup, must be that. Couldn't be people just wanting to steal.


widespread looting ... dread and desperation

Yeah, that's the ticket.

It was "dread and desperation" that caused people to loot the Louis Vuitton store in downtown Portland.
