Okay, so if the $2 trillion CARES Act goes straight to the 328 million people, that's "only" $6100/person... How could a country afford to give everyone, say, $20k/year?

How was driving in Japan? Just curious
You get used to driving on the left pretty quickly, surprisingly. The pedals are still the same (right pedal = gas, left = brake). They give you a magnet /sticker for you to put on the back of your rental car that tells everyone that you're a foreigner; the purpose is to let people know you don't drive on the left side, and hopefully people will be nicer to you.

I've noticed that people are generally more cautious around you (or maybe Japanese drivers are just like that), and they actually look in and wave at you.

You pass on the right, and speed limits are pretty low... I think 60mph IIRC. Speed cameras are everywhere.

America decided to go all in on cars. Almost all other countries decided not to. In these other countries, almost all highways are tolled, and are quite expensive to actually drive anywhere far, or the roads are narrow/non existent.

This is from personal experience. I rented and drove cars all over Japan, Greece, Italy, and South Korea, and rented cars to drive around London and Berlin.

Italy, Greece, and Berlin had some of the worst roads... Italy was the only country I damaged the car, because some of these roads were way too narrow and I lost a side mirror...

Spoilers for FF7 and FF7R in this topic.

In the original, Avalanche dies. Do they still die in the remake? What about Jesse? I'm about 3 hours into the remake, and holy crap did they expand the roles of everyone. Hell, the game is more about Jesse and Cloud than Cloud and Tifa at this point.

Why not try to turn it into a long-term rental property instead?
Originally, I didn't want to deal with having to look for the right renter, the possibility of the renter not being able to rent and having to go with eviction, and potential damage to property by renter.

All of these are a lot lower risk for short term rentals, like Airbnb and Vrbo.

Deferment of suspended, current, or past due principal and interest payments as a non-interest bearing balance, due and payable at maturity of the mortgage loan, or earlier upon the sale or transfer of the property, refinance of the mortgage loan or payoff of the unpaid principal balance and any unpaid fees.

So I can pause my payments for like 6 months, and pay that back at the end of the loan in one lump sum with no interest? Why would I not do this?
