People with money aren't subject to this kind of "trade mom's life for a job" stuff.
Or, you can re-open restaurants and sports arenas and shows and that kind of thing. Only people who aren't smart enough to price that risk or who have to are gonna go. I won't step foot in, say, a hockey game until we know that antibodies stick and I have them, that there's a rigorous testings and contact tracing regime, or I'm vaccinated.
Americans generally believe that debt and the ability to service that is what financial well being looks like. What you are seeing now is a manifestation of that. The folks who build wealth, live below their means, etc at all income levels are having all manner of problems right now but money ain't one. I have no sympathy for anyone making ends meet plus a dollar a month. If they spent the buck a month rather than saving or investing it? No sympathy.
I include businesses like airlines (in part), hotels, and all the other deadbeat businesses begging for handouts in a similar vein.
