Yeah, unemployment is skyrocketing here, too. Not in the construction business, though. They got a boom on their hands, and the organisation representing entrepreneurs lobbied for and got a government opt-out of the border restrictions for their foreign construction workers. Their Romanian and Bulgarian construction workers don't even have to get tested before entering or leaving Denmark.

I think we should use this opportunity to fire all "non essential" govt workers (as though any are essential). They were already doing nothing their entire careers, but now they are just doing nothing at home. Slowly but surely stop paying them BUT this has to be done after we eliminate all welfare, EBT, WIC, and means tested programs. Completely. Boom. I can honestly see that leading to an American utopia. We could finally be free as a people.

Museums are superfluous Bjorn. They are a luxury we cannot afford right now. Plus there is wikipedia so what is really the point of them right?

I know some awesome beer joints around Ocean Springs on your route. Too bad they are all shuttered due to the plague.
