During these trying times don’t forget to pay your mortgage.

I hope to fuck that most mortgage companies would at least have the decency to extend a 1 or 2 month grace period to their customers who literally can’t work during this pandemic.

The economy is gonna grind to a near-total halt at this rate, not a question of if but when. The best we can hope for is that it passes quickly, like within a few weeks.

I’m really sorry to hear that. I was talking with my wife tonight about how awful I feel for everyone who is losing their income because of this.

Dang. Good luck riding this out. It’s going to get crazy.

There’s going to need to be some kind of temporary moratorium on mortgages/rent and car payments if this goes any further. People simply won’t be able to pay, and at the same time, there won’t be any capacity to handle delinquencies . There’s going to have to be some kind of pause in the payment world.

Shit. Fingers crossed Inslee has some sort of recompense plan to unveil similar to some of the other cities that have done this.

Well, if our last financial crisis is any indicator, they don’t have any decency .

I’m sure they’ll get a bailout of some sort.

Fair enough, but this thing is gonna affect so many people that Congress might pass a law requiring a penalty-free grace period to help millions keep their homes out of foreclosure.

Shit. Hope there are unem ployment or other new benefits that will carry you through until things are normal again.

Fuck man, I’m sorry. Hope you guys stay healthy and hang in. I fully expect to be in that boat soon, people stop calling their mechanics pretty quick when shit hits the fan.

Apparently the Fed can pull $1.5 trillion out of its ass without any approval necessary. Maybe they should just turn that trick again, but give it to people. Speed up that trickle.

I hope it's not for long.

Go od luck, Zoidbergs. Remember the words of the all-knowing Colin McRae: “If in doubt, flat out. ”

Not that this really makes it better, but was she laid off completely or is this a temporary thing? Won’t the business come back once the quarantine has been lifted?

I’ll take some of them 0% loans the banks are getting right now please and thanks.

Highlander-Datsuns are Forever > atfsgeoff
03/16/2020 at 10:09

Yes, it’s going to be very difficult for a huge percentage of our country to keep paying the bills.

FIAT once gave me a 0% loan. Thank god, as the value of the car sank like a brick once I drove it off the lot.

Man, I’m so, so sorry. I don’t wish unemployment on anyone right now.

Really sorry to hear that. Similar boat here—Mrs. RPM’s business is in tourism, of which there isn’t any anymore. She’s trying really hard not to lay off everybody who works for her but I don’t see how she can possibly avoid it with zero revenue.
