One-third of American renters expected to miss their August payment
We need to be making it possible for people to earn a living safely. We need to be focused on creating new work opportunities that work in the current climate.<p>This &quot;waiting for things to return to normal&quot; looks pretty dumb to me. I think the stimulus checks and other relief funds are smarter than just throwing a third of Americans out into the street, but it&#x27;s not really a long term solution. A long term solution is the economy needs to adapt and we need to create work opportunities and reshape work with more of an eye towards germ control.<p>I&#x27;ve been trying to write down some of my thoughts about how we move forward in a sensible way. For example:<p>Earlier this year I wrote about a work opportunity I know of and about my opinion that this model should be borrowed for other kinds of work. That piece is here:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;writepay.blogspot.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;03&#x2F;the-textbroker-solution.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;writepay.blogspot.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;03&#x2F;the-textbroker-solution...</a><p>I also wrote about my thought that more eateries need a contactless takeout option similar to Little Caesar&#x27;s pizza portal:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;projectsro.blogspot.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;07&#x2F;pizza-portal.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;projectsro.blogspot.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;07&#x2F;pizza-portal.html</a><p>I&#x27;m very frustrated at the kinds of things I see other people saying. We need to stop framing this as an either&#x2F;or thing: <i>Either</i> we protect ourselves from the virus <i>or</i> we go back to work.<p>We need to do both. We need to figure that out. We aren&#x27;t even trying. This assumption that we need to choose one or the other is part of the problem. It&#x27;s not true.
