My attitude is: We need capitalism, but it has to be regulated to keep it working. Almost all of our current retirement income is because my wife and I made some careful investments during our working lives. We have rental properties, and are very fortunate our tenants all seem to remain employed and paying their rent. But we wouldn't evict anybody now if they couldn't pay. Our tenants don't have the resources we have.

Agreed, 100%, and I also have tenants; some are not paying... but I won't evict them either.


Please take COVID-19 seriously; don't panic but don't deny it; practice social distancing (stay 6ft from people); wash your hands a lot, don't touch your face, don't gather with too many people, so that you help us contain it.
