You suck it up and go out and find ways to make money to pay your bills, start mowing grass, cleaning out garages or basements for people, or any number of other things to make money, Its just amazing how pathetic people are today
It happens I am not in a bad position financially. However my mortgage, property taxes and insurance come out to roughly $2500 a month. Even when my mortgage is paid off in October it's $1500 a month. That's an awful lot of lawns, cleared out garages and basements. Even assuming those gigs don't violate some police officer's view of social distancing.
Without the internet I would find it hard to live the lifestyle I've now got set up, living remotely from banks and other business interests.
We would obviously do a lot more on the phone. But, and this is a big but, many companies are not now set up to deal efficiently by telephone, having defaulted to the internet for most, if not all, their interactions with the public. They don't have banks of people answering the phone anymore.
Certainly I could not get my groceries delivered as I do now because that's an internet only service. So if I couldn't go out to get groceries - as the WH is now advising us not to do - we'd have a real problem. Drugstore deliveries? Don't make me laugh. So how would you get your prescriptions?
I just made two masks to wear outdoors. Where did I get the pattern? Online.

This is a massive self-inflicted wound.
Well, people had those same bills decades ago too!
Some riots for sure. People would get restless at home especially the kids. I think adults would have been more outdoorsy without internet, so i can see many adults not staying home. Just having the internet relieves some stress.
Some people lives are sad and empty. I feel sorry for them. I wouldn't ever want my life to be completely dependent on gadgets.
I would tend to agree, but unfortunately my current setup doesn’t leave much room for anything else. There’s not much I can actually do to change it either.
