There is a good timing aspect. Poor people, especially with kids, are about to get their socialist tax gift from the IRS. Of course since fedgov and msm aren’t saying much about covid19, everyone will probably run out and get big screen TVs and new cell phones, not realizing that they may have to stay home for weeks.
Americans want things yesterday. We don’t understand needs vs wants. Yes, even in good times, they’ll rush out to buy a tv and ignore the real bills. A repairman was here once who opened up about his wife spending his very good income on fancy lotions and frivolous stuff so he couldn’t pay the bills so much so they were behind on rent and about to lose the car. Mind boggling.
Repairmen may be some of the first hit if we had widespread illness as people wouldn’t want someone who may be sick in their homes.
