As layoffs skyrocket, the holes in America’s safety net are becoming apparent

Across the country, already-struggling Americans are being urged to buy more at one time and embrace social distancing to help slow the outbreak’s spread. At the same time, supermarkets are getting picked over, as panic-stricken consumers snap up rice, pasta, beans and canned vegetables — the kind of inexpensive staples that Brown has learned to stretch into a month’s worth of meals.

White House officials are considering various emergency measures to help Americans, including sending $1,000 checks directly to workers in coming weeks. But while that money may provide temporary relief — and enough cash to pay for groceries and other expenses short-term, many say it would not provide long-term security at a time when jobs are drying up and the economy teeters toward recession.

Government is going to end up guaranteeing payrolls so companies don't layoff.

There are a lot of people whose jobs have closed or cut hours out here, the goverment is going to have to do some things and make decisions quickly. I am very lucky I can run my business from home or on the go, but a lot of people don't have it like that and it's not like the landlords/banks are going to stop knocking on the door looking for their checks.

grocery stores are restocking every day, you'll be hard pressed to find bread (though buns are readily available like that ain't bread) and water

but everything else was there. frozen food aisle was filled to the brim, cereal everywhere, milk - where are you cats living to where it looks like the book of eli already?

There’s food in every store I’ve been too

not always having your first choice isn’t starving.
