I might book into somewhere like centre parks for outdoor sports like archery, zip wires etc. Then hire car and visit castles where you would pass vilages and pubs. Then even at 40 or even 50 ( maybe 60 ) Go to Brighton. Have a dance ( nothing too mental ) Some might even do shrooms or something the next day whilst sitting in a garden. Then sleep in a hotel. A city resturant. The train to Gatwick. Maybe forget the shroom part and dancing but the rest could be good. |

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? Yes, Precious Little Sweetheart. We forgive you. Now, Dance Along. Dum-te-Dumm! |

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. |

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. oh please, even china gave services only to governament employees and vital services operators |

A grace period? I've always hated these companies that give out an award to employees who never miss work. I know the one guy that won one year had come in sick and caused others to miss work because he was a "come in or die trying" kind of guy. Does that need to be rewarded? And my church last weekend gave an award to kids who had NEVER missed church school. I mean, what little kid has control over not getting sick? I thought that was just cruel and idiotic. So...yeah, these are the people that will come in anyway to kiss the boss's butt and spread the illness and the boss will STILL give him the employee of the year award! |

More chaos where people are selfish and self-serving. Food, water, safety, medicine, services and housing may all be issues. Government and banking may even be shut down, at least temporarily. I'd suggest stocking up on some food and water, have some cash handy, and network with trusted family and friends. |

Still, there are a lot of good people and a lot of bad people all over, regardless of race, religion, etc. No one I know personally has ever been placed in some super awesome club. I'm willing to bet you don't personally know any either. Keep that in mind. Goodbye, halcyon days...

LaGata User ID: 75733009 United States 03/02/2020 07:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think in a national crisis there could be hardship exceptions. If not, expect evictions and foreclosures to start in the city. If you live out in rural areas, they have to find you first. Some places you can't even see from the road, or find the road. Then when you arrive, potential gun ownership by residents. Also for some of the older and less glamorous dwellings...what's there to gain? There are places around here that have been on the market 6 yrs without one bite. ~~*NOT* a very nice kitty!~~ "Plan for the worst, hope for the best, and don't live in fear." |
