  5. ^^^^Many people have been able to work from home and have not been impacted financially by the shutdown. In my case, I've spent less on dining out and clothes, so I'm ahead so far. Many people are not able to work from home and many of those were let go, so hopefully you won't begrudge them a few extra bucks while they navigate their new world. If you do, you're an asshole.
