Paying employees to sit at home after the government shuts your business down as non-essential is a sure-fire way to ensure that those employees won’t have a job to go back to when this madness ends.
I don’t remember where i read it but the crux of it was..we can’t buy our way out of a recession / depression.
We MUST work our way out.
I think a one time stimulus package it fine..although, the one that past recently was about 3 or 4 times larger than it had to be.
FDR extended the recovery of the not so great depression by nearly a decade by using the government to buy our way out of it.
Depends. You can keep your staff intact and your competition lets everyone go then you will be the only supplier in town. Then you can pretty much charge what you want when things "get back to normal". or just go for market share. Just saying...
