As in, they can’t fire you? Or you can travel?

As D basically said, they better find a way to then let people off the hook for any rent or shelter payment. You can't even rent a shed here for 1200 bucks a month.

I’m told late fees are waived. So that’ll help. Maybe. Someone. Who is a bit late.

"mOvE oUt Of cAlIFoRnIa!" yeah...like that was financially possible either lol.

My place is over 800/month, but it's one of those that was originally an old motel or something for the neighbor private airport back in the 40's. And yeah, they didn't cancel rent, but they got themselves setup online so we can avoid going to the office.

It’s such a perverse system to not put in place protections for this very eventuality.

My apartment has online payment as the only option right now, since they closed the office. The kicker? They charge a fee to pay online, so I'm paying more now. I love this shit.

Whatever the state designates. I read through California's and I fall under a worker that supports specified industries such as medical, food, transportation and communication (among others).

I'm essential because of National Defense but people who work at liquor stores are considered essential also.

There was a charge fee if I used my debit card. Since there was an option for the routing number, there was no charge.

But yeah, 28 bucks to use the debit card to pay rent, that's fucking criminal.

Guessing you can’t work from home so it’s a good thing you got that. Hopefully the hours pick up.

Gavin Numbnuts here is trying to close gunshops, deeming them unessential. And I think liquor shops are not considered essential here too.

Wait, they close any ability to pay in person but then they charge extra for the only way they have to let you pay. That’s so dodgy.

Boozing heavily will be essential for people’s sanity in these next few months so I get it

I don't think he should constitutionally be able to close gun shops and cutting off booze is just dickish

Unsurprisingly, the pot shops are open and delivery services are still in operation.
