Ultimately, these are the people who will be most affected by this in every country. The poorest and the weakest. Anyone living paycheck to paycheck, especially in urban areas like NYC and Boston (which is a staggering number of people) will struggle as well, though people with things like the privilege of a higher education can get back on their feet far more easily.
If anyone thinks that leaders haven’t done the math on this, they’re very wrong. These people are looked at as replaceable workers and, since they make very little in wage, are a negligible loss to money flow going into the economy.
If we all don’t take a stand for the poor, no one will. They don’t have a podium to stand on or even a message board to type on most of the time.
