Comment on If a 2M employee return to work order is declared soon, I could see us in the US finding ourselves with tent cities full of white collar workers.

Take a minute to look through all the photos of hoovervilles. Tens of thousands of people in tents, often with the apartments they were evicted from and the factories closed or running at a fraction of capacity within a few hundred yards.

How would you explain to aliens why tens of thousands of people in every city were driven from their homes empty to live in squalor while being prevented from doing anything productive?
