Previous Message and it was vastly less for kids. 2., sure, sit on your couch and watch Netflix!... as long as you've still got millions of people actually going *to work* to keep the lights on, water flowing, and all of the Amazon/Instacart/Grubhub goodies being manufactured, transported, and delivered so that you can sit on your ass with your laptop and have your cutesy Zoom happy hours and watch Netflix. That is, if you can still afford a couch and Netflix because your business wasn't arbitrarily shut down or incredibly restricted to destruction in a hysterical panic just so a governor could act like they were doing something. Or, if you're not cataclysmically depressed because your school and activities and social life and outside support structures were suddenly stripped away with no end in sight until some vague and unquantified notion of "safe" is reached. Or you're not dead of a drug overdose or drinking yourself to death because of a combination of all those things. Sure, just sit on your couch and watch Netflix. Previous Message Option 1: You get to go to work!* Option 2: You get to sit on your couch and watch Netflix! *There's a 1/100 chance it will kill you.
