Not trying to be argumentative, and not denying the hardship that a large number of people are experiencing, but I'm not sure I get why the reason behind the economic hardship matters in my comparison. For a restaurant owner, salon owner, and workers in those establishments, they have no control over the pandemic, and have no control over the government forcing them to be shut down. I am sympathetic to those going through hardship. I don't deny they are.
But, when the real estate market bubble burst, those working as realtors had no control over the bubble bursting. They were not the speculators. They were not the investment bankers. They were not the loan originators. They were not in control of bursting the bubble. They went through the same hardship of having their income drastically dropped, and while not overnight like the shut down, it was very quick.
The real estate bubble isn't the only example you can find of workers in an industry who suffer economic hardship due to circumstances out of their control.
