“...But Freepers seem to be concerned with “mass suicides” due to job loss. I assume the reason is that people would be despondent over loss of their income.
If the .gov is PAYING that income for 4 months (NOT THAT I AGREE THEY SHOULD), the premise that we’ll have all this total collapse due to people’s ability to cope financially is not supportable.”

Jeez, you really ARE hopeless, aren’t you. I guess the Opioid epidemic sweeping our “rust belt” escaped your closed mind.
And you lack all discernment if you think many months of hundreds of millions of people CONSUMING wealth while not PRODUCING wealth will not be destructive. Like a person’s body, if elements of the economy are not used, they get weaker .... OR ACTUALLY DIE. But I guess you’re likely involved in a job that doesn’t actually produce wealth but merely redistributes wealth... MAYBE GOVERNMENTAL BUREAUCRAT.
OK, carry on with your DEFEATISM and you FRANTIC HYSTERIA.
I asked nicely that the personal attacks stop.
We USED TO be able to post our opinions on FR and discuss them reasonably.
You can agree or disagree. But let’s not become DU or Yahoo, OK?
And please don’t expect everyone to have the same opinion as you.
That’s what USED TO make FR great. I’m kinda wondering nowadays, though.
