"This is not going to sustain us — we need to feed our families, we need to put food on the table, we have bills mounting up,” said Debra Jeffries, a cocktail waitress for four decades at a major Strip casino.
This reads like a joke.
How can they say that they have no money to feed their families?
Do they really have no savings? Maybe their loans are too big and they can't afford to keep paying up without a steady income.
This is not a Joke mate ,this is reality because not all people in the world have savings and it is not they are spending a lot but this is because they have their own reason,sometimes it is because they have large family to feed(that in past they are capable but some problem occurred ) or sometimes they are just starting a normal life again as we know the economy is not friendly now and watching the life of Homeless in US?i can see that some issues is not really their problem.
i think having a loan extension is not the solution here instead people really need help because this is the very first time that crisis like this happens in our generation and the first from us so understandable that people now are helpless.
Not all people have savings, and there's a lot of situation to consider, and a lot of what if's. For example: they are the one that is doing the work to feed his/her family or, they have a loan to pay and just starting a new life. There's a lot of situation to be consider! This lock-down is affecting a lot of people including the workers so I think it's reasonable to pay them for a 1 month of salary to survive this crisis.
