A 1000 bucks barely covers 1 months rent or 500 a car payment

Clearly something is better than nothing

But wouldnt frezzing interest and loan payment on mortages, cars, rent with out penalties help more Americans

By having those payments added to the end of their loans

because if a huge volume
of people spend that extra money, it helps the small businesses recover from the crushing lack of rev he thats pulverizing them now.

shortens the length of time it takes for businesses to recover lost revenue, which means less layoffs, and that’s a key thing.

The $1,000 doesn’t change anyone’s life. but it will help keep people employed as that money is spent and re spent.

Thats my point the seagulls will swoop in on the foreclosures of the little guy who would have been saved if his mortgage payments and interest and penalties were waved , till this was over , but he got was a 1000 bucks

i suspect, though don’t know for sure, that banks will be willing to give people who are severely impacted by this, a few months. banks don’t foreclose when you miss a payment or two, if there’s any reasonable chance you’ll get back in your feet, it’s better and cheaper for the banks to work with you. Id bet a lot that we don’t see foreclosures like we did in 2008. Giving everyone a little money does help the bartenders in the end, not because their 1,000 saves them, but because it increases the chance that things recover quicker.


there’s also a lot more to the aid than 1,000 checks to individuals. All kinds of loans and grants to small business. that will also help. minimizing unemployment is a high priority here, and helping businesses with a short term cash crunch, will keep unemployment down.

I have no faith that banks will defer anything.. you get 3 months behind on a mortgage plus late fees and your credit score destroyed you'll never recover even if you get back to work

we will see. obviously we both hope that people
impacted the most are given a chance to recover.

People claw their way back all the time. it’s not easy or quick, but it happens.

my hope is that the relief package provides loans to banks to allow them to be more forgiving than usual.

Saw that Amazon is hiring 100,000 new employees right away, that’s big.

like you, i’m lucky enough to not be too impacted, i can work from home. I wish everyone was as secure.

Banks will likely be just as forgiving as they are legally required to be.
