:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ā“

We’ll be fine - I’ve kept money aside for situations like this, but the whole thing is inherently unfair.

Does it - so if Goldman Sachs furloughed a couple of hundred bankers in £250k a year each, you would be happy to pick up that tab?

2500 is more that the average wage - I think I it is pitched at the right level

Exactly the same as I’d feel about providing a free university education to their kids or child allowance. They should get it.

If these folk are paying their taxes through PAYE at the correct salaried rate, why not? There aren’t many of them.

Thing is, most will probably be on some tax-efficient wheeze, so it’s an even smaller number.

They say that we get vast leaps in technology in times of war, could this also be the case in this time of crisis, the solutions and sheer will to get things done at the moment are out there…

Yep - that’s because everyone has a common goal and priority funding and the naysayers are told to fuck off or come up with better idea (which invariably they cant)

This chap is Benali’s nipper I think. Either way it’s a fascinating watch for 5 mins. Explains a lot about society …

This is how i used to feel about goldenballs, why would anyone ever split the money? Not that I’d ever go on goldenballs though that programme was for walkers.

It’s on the BBC so must be fake news…

Mrs BTripz got changed from zero hours contract to a ā€œproperā€ one about 2 months ago. I keep telling her how lucky she is, especially as where she works has sacked off all the zero hours people.
