[quote=ltsddd]It’s pretty apparent that the small local businesses are the ones that got disproportionately impacted by the virus (shutdown) the most. I don’t know of anyone in the tech (generally white collar jobs) that has lost their jobs b/c of this.

I hope everyone will make an extra effort to support their local businesses once the lock down is lifted. Maybe I’ll get my hair cut twice a week instead of twice a month.[/quote]

I haven’t had my haircut in awhile, except me trying to cut it myself. Lol. I agree. I think for the most part, most (not all) tech workers have been spared, and should count the blessings.

Unfortunately, staying at home, I think my spending has gone up quite a bit. Trying to get all my items I’ve been putting off done with my free time instead of going out. I’m trying to go with small businesses instead of going through amazon because Amazon recently changed their delivery policy and pushed out non-essential items to a 2-3 week delivery time even for prime members. Meanwhile, independent shops usually ship out right away, and price is competitive.
