Which is why I think the funding packages haven't been good enough. This is everyone's problem, so I say bail out now and we can pay back in our taxes later, just like a war.
I don’t think that’s a solution at all. If taxes rise later then people have less in their wallets to spend, so will spend less - which will hit many of these businesses that way.
Whichever way we try to square it up, it’s impossible to get back what is being paid out unproductively.
And I don’t believe it is right to saddle society with a massive debt, which is what we’re already well on the way to doing. We already have many younger people unable to afford their own property.
As an aside, I don’t think it’s the right thing for people to be paid just to stay at home. Some may have enjoyed this for a while, and there’s certainly a subset who want that to continue, however it’s not good for people in the longer run. Some people have worked bloody hard to build up their businesses, whilst others take pride in going to work, throwing all that away is not the way to go.
