    What's the deal re self-employed freelance workers?

    Seeing political economist types talking about huge gvmnt subsidies for companies to help maintain wages during loss of revenue - maybe 75% on condition of guaranteed no lay-offs, with the aim that stops a demand recession. Can't see that working well enough, and, as auto said, some industries are fucked anyway.

    • Yup, this is on my mind - I can't work from home, my partner's not employed (post maternity), and I've not got a clue what would happen if I had 2 weeks offNairn
    • Hoping it's an initial panic blanket-cancel and things will level out but I don't think I'll have any work in a few weeks.Fax_Benson
