The article is right. I have two kids who lost their jobs and another on reduced hours.

It's ridiculous. You have government types and white collar people who can hold down a job while working remote making decisions that are destroying millions of jobs and wrecking the economy for other people. We have to end this now. It's not worth destroying my kids' future to avoid a few thousand deaths.

Before flaming me, I say this as a member of an at-risk group. I want to put my kids first.

Life is tough. Tell your kids to try harder.

I agree with you. You’re absolutely right. Trump should pass an executive order that stops congressional pay (along with their staffs) until America is back to work. Let THEM know how it feels.

Give them hope. Tell them to get out there and do things!

One of the local restaurants decided not to let their 28 employees go. Instead they began to sell vegetables, toilet paper,wine and beer and meals to go. All 28 have stayed employed.

If that kid with no fingers and no toes can make himself into an NFL star player then all the millennials can be winners, not victims.

Have the kids figure out what they can do to be part of the solution.

“Before flaming me, I say this as a member of an at-risk group. I want to put my kids first.”

If the country can start opening up soon (weeks or less) and people are smart, I think our economy will come roaring back. If governors wait until “the virus is gone and it is safe” - I’m guessing there will be a revolution and the economy tanks.

I’m in the same boat. I take all sorts of crazy precautions. My kids not so much despite my warnings and helping them with stuff. But yeah - they want to get back to work with what they want to do.
