I need to pay my landlord who needs to pay the bank who needs to pay the investors who need to pay their bills.

If the investors utility companies let it slide, they can let the banks slide who let the landlords slide to let me slide.

Problem solved.

The economy is just people who need money to pay other people for things.

If the people providing the things just let it slide then no one at any level NEEDS money.

Its so fucking simple and solvable.

Never gonna happen. It would take both sides agreeing. And all it takes is the rich people paying one side for it to not happen.

Only because those people need money.

If they didnt need money they could be free.

In a global pandemic where the world shuts down, seems like a simple solution to have the essentials of life (food, utilities, medication) be free until the pandemic is over.

Who is going to work if everything is free and you won't get paid if you do work?

No one. Its a pandemic. We should all stay home. Thats the point. In my scenario lockdown is strict and enforced unless youre truly essential (groceries, pharmacy, utility workers).

The government can give those people money for working because they have to. Everyone else stays home and we wait until this is done.
