There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |

User ID: 75358302 Brazil 02/26/2020 01:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anyone have questions that don't quite fit into an existing thread? Quoting: Only Me I have questions. I'll start. If most people can't go to work, will they all wind up homeless because they can't afford their rent/mortgage? Is there a forgiveness policy here? A grace period? Can you look the big picture? People not working, means no maintenance in gas, water and electric grid, plus communications. People not working, means no police, no FD, no ambulances. Actually its possible that even trying to call 911 on a cell phone may not work. People not working, means no goods delivered to grocery stores, no gasoline in the pumps and no parts to fix stuff. If your worst worry is your mortgage, be cool, probably banks will just crumble into their own mess. A period of VERY BAD SHIT will go on for like a few weeks, maybe a few months. The survivors, will rejoice. MaybeTrollingUAgain |

I can run our company's full payroll remotely but if the crew isn't working there won't be anyone to pay...it's disturbing to consider and I don't think we'll go there but if I have to I can do everything from home. Now I only need to stock up on food. |
