Let me tell you about 3 people I know from 3 different countries within the union.
1) Guy in his mid 30s from Germany, spent 10 years to get a pilot licence, achieve all the necessary ratings and finally get a job in a respectable flight company.
He is temporary unemployed while still paying his monthly due to the bank for a loan he needed to achieve his licence and rating, he was supposed to be over in 2 years, there is also a good chance he will be fired for good.
He has a wife but thankfully no kids and live in a 30 squared metres flat where he now spends most of his day.
2) Man from Italy in his early 50s, fought his entire life against italian socialist taxation, got robbed at gun point twice but somehow managed to make his business to survive and feed his family.
His bar is currently closed while he is still expected to pay taxes and other fixed costs, the gov keep promising for support but none arrives.
3) Man from France mid 40s, chief constructor (basically the one who supervise common workers) and clearly currently unemployed from a month, he still has to pay for rent and taxes which are now entirely on his wife who thankfully keeps working in the food department.
He has 3 projects and 3 teams that basically had to stop midway and no one knows if they can restart with some new safety rules or not.
These are men I know and Im sure there are many more in such conditions, many of you probably think that an economic crysis is no big deal but I believe you all underestimate the impact in the medium and long term...unless ofc you think that taxes and work are useless and its all about printing.
Whats the take away message? well lets make a list of all the disease existing and try to imagine what happens if hospitals are not available cause the country is bankrupt...also try to imagine how nice and law abiding adult men will be when pushed against the wall with nothing to lose.
Not sure if someone of you recall London riots in 2011, well that will be like a jogging session compared.
I dont wanna sound racist but we cant treat everyone the same way when someone has a purpose and a role and someone does not, we cant force the same rules to those who have a 0.2% of death as if they were those with a 20% risk of death.
In my opinion and feel free to disagree, its better to pick a calculated risk and harm now to avoid an almost sure overall damage tomorrow.
