Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Robots/Drones might be used more
5G will be embraced
Crazy people will remain the same. Anti vaxxers/conspiracy nuts will still be there, some groups may see an increase, as people try to find something/someone to blame.
If anything the new normal will likely create more divide than anything. People will be re-evaluating priorities including careers and lifestyle, landlords if when the eviction ban gets lifted will likely seek out tenants with a more stable income, and businesses will be more cautious with their spending as well which will slow down economic recovery.

Crime rate will go up (already have) and as more people look to protect themselves they might go out less during night time, or more people might take self defense class, some might even start buying weapons to put in their cars carry with them (pocket knife, Pepper spray and maybe even guns in their house).
Gov will raise tax to pay off all the promise they been making (guess we can all see our income tax, property tax and carbon tax goes up again). People will be a lot careful with their spendings and small business will have a much harder time to operate/recover. People will less likely to travel aboard on vacation and a lot of airlines won't be able to stay in business unless gov bail out. Housing market is going to crash with a good % landlord saying fuck it I am going to declare bankrupt coz tenant aren't paying rent and landlord can't evict them and they can't pay their mortgage. There will even be less rental housing on the market.
I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding why one needs to:
1. Purchase weapons (i.e. knives, guns etc.)
2. Take self-defence classes, or some form of training meant to hurt someone else
Someone please help me understand this notion. I don't want things to come to a point where I randomly come across Mr.Happyslip's wife and we have to duke it out and fuck each other up with our Boy Scout knives (I'd probably lose!)

Pretty sure more so to be able to defend themselves/family if something was to happen. Desperate times will bring out desperate people who won't listen to reason

I certainly hope this won't happen but in the States people are buying guns and ammo like crazy. I recall a news station was interviewing people lining up outside a gun shop and some point have been in line for hours and hours. Some first time buyers as well and people who normally won't buy a gun is jumping on it. Mostly people are saying they are doing it to protect their family. With so many people out of a job it might be bad enough to turn some of these people to rob someone out of desperation. Luckily we are in Canada and so far it seems OK but a lot of stores in Vancouver have been broken into (4 to 5x) more. That's why you see in DT stores have boarded up front entrance and the windows to prevent break ins. Now is it just homeless breaking in, teens just doing stupid things or the desperate. We don't know but is very real. After this is all over a lot of people are going to be out of a job, have to take a lesser paying job or even do part time. Their income will b greatly reduced but bills have to be paid.

Locals are going cray with gun/ammo purchases as well. I know of at least one local retailer who told me that they've already beat last year's sales by mid March.
Dunno if they have this in Canada, but this is the real deal luncheon meat:
It's combined with ham so it has a higher protein and lower carb value than SPAM and SPAM imitators. It still has that "meat goo mixed with starch" that we love, but with some real meat added to give it SOME nutrition
