Quarantining Costs
Timothy Birdnow
If true, it means government policy has stolen $68 bucks from senior citizens via the quarantine policy.
I don't see how it could be true. It's far cheaper to fix your own food than buy it, and it's expensive to drive and maintain your car - or to pay for some sort of commercial transportation. Not to mention clothes.
I guess this means we AREN'T supposed to lock down?
Working from Home NOT Cheaper for Older Adults

Working from Home NOT Cheaper for Older Adults
A new survey shows that for boomers, grocery and utility bills often
increase when working from home, even as commuting and dry-cleaning
expenses drop. About half of baby boomers have spent an average of $133
more for groceries each month, while 86% spent $68 less per month on
gasoline and public transit.

Awrightee, now I can read the article, which is pretty p*s-poor. It talks about the cost of utilities in general IN ONE SENTENCE and gives no breakdowns. Does it mean that in areas where folks rely on A/C, they let their A/C go up when they're not home (normally) and have it crank the temperatures down when they get back home? I can tell you that doing that, it makes the A/C chug very hard to bring the temp back down and takes a lot of electricity to do it. Where do I live? Florida? No, Minnesota. Frankly, I think that stuff about utilities is bogus, unless they will break it down.
As far as food, I want to see numbers too. Buying groceries and converting them into home meals is cheaper than buying pre-packaged stuff in the stores, not to mention healthier. Unless you are a lousy cook. One can't factor that into the equation.

Yawp! This is a whole lot of nothing. As you say, they don't break any of this down, which means they don't know what they are talking about and can't prove it.
