My example of tomorrow was to illustrate that I don't believe people will stay away due to fear.
I don’t care either about them but most families do. That’s my reasoning for people not to go until this thing is over and fully open, then the families and crowds will be back.
Cruise lines are definitely in a different boat (pun intended). They are known as a breeding ground for outbreaks, especially of norovirus, that ruin vacations on a somewhat regular basis. Airplanes really aren't. There isn't any report I've seen of any flight where one passenger has infected a large number of people on a flight in this outbreak.
Where do you think the $2 trillion is Federal stimulus is coming from? Or the $4 trillion of new money from the Federal Reserve? Do you think there is no cost to those funds? This will make us poorer because your taxes will go up and your money will buy less after the $4 trillion of new Federal Reserve notes. Just in case you don't understand Federal Reserve Notes look at your dollar bills.
$75k and less is the cutoff point
Added a missing word. That is the tragedy in all this. This payback will hobble our economy for years and years
The deficit and thus the debt were already growing at an extreme rate. I guess we’ll find out if the debt really matters. May have serious inflation for the first time since the late 70s, which is another incredibly painful way to take care of the problem. Hopefully, we won’t go the bond holder haircut route which has been suggested.
I am a simpleton. Admittedly. Isn’t a large portion of our debt held by China? Why not tell them to kick rocks?

The only thing we have is "the full faith and credit of the US". We default and our bonds are worthless.
Not sure of your personal situation but my assumption is you are a younger person without any health conditions that put you into the high risk category. This gives you confidence that if you get this it will be no big deal. There are many people who are either elderly or have pre-existing conditions. There are also plenty of people who interact with those high risk people. If a family has a kid with asthma do yo think they are going to risk a trip to WDW? How many people want to bring their kids to WDW knowing they could kill grandma when they get back? I have no desire to get this virus or see my kids get it even without being high risk and I know I’m not alone. Then add in families with children who have already missed a week or more of school. People aren’t going to be as likely to pull kids out of school for a trip to WDW. Same with school teachers. I work in an office and have been working from home. I know that if we went back to the office tomorrow I wouldn’t be able to take time off any time soon. I’m much less efficient working from home. Throw in international travelers either being restricted or afraid to be trapped away from home. All of these factors would reduce crowds dramatically and that doesn’t even take into account the economic impact from people who already lost their jobs or want to keep a little extra in savings just in case. The first day the parks re-open you would probably get some lifestylers and locals who want to say they were there on opening day but after that small bump there would be a big drop off.
I doubt it in this case. It wouldn't be as if we were doing it for no good reason. Frankly I think the world would understand and probably be willing to do the same thing with any of their debt that was held by the Chinese.
Which hurts the social security trust fund far worse than China.
I'm not defending it, but I believe that is the quickest and most efficient metric to get the $ to the people who need it the most.
