We need a new plan. Every single job before-covid (BC) is not coming back. Even if we opened the country at 100% tomorrow not every job will come back. There’s a paranoia that’s set into the American psyche that will take years to adjust.
To bring these pieces back together, the lease, the workers, the investors, the money, is impossible. Some of these pieces are no longer in existence, and the economic conditions that enabled the company to form in the first place are no longer present. It's like trying to make a living tree from ash and smoke.
Some places have been hit particularly hard. In LA county, only 45% of people have jobs right now: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-17/usc-coro...
"a significant majority of job losses, 67% nationally, were reported as temporary layoffs"
Alas, if media circus around plane crashes in any indication, that does't pay. So, we can only hope for lack of informed-ness, apathy and paranoia-fatigue to settle in and solve this particular aspect for us.
