How will choices like the above work on the international scale (everyone is participating in QE and propping up society right now).Comment

Change the financial system so QE is the norm not borrowing from future generations for these bailout scenario. Even better regulation of industry so no one is to big to fail.
Fund a proper welfare state through tax increases.
Defaulting on a mortgage or even bankruptcy/IVA would not make you homeless either that is a lengthy process that the courts would take mitigating factors into account such as children.
Also there is a mortgage/debt holiday during this time to stop that happening to stop the IVA/Bankruptcies occurring. When that stops I hope things are ok but I suspect that bailouts will still be needed. How those bailouts are funded is a big concern.Last edited by BlueSharp; 3 November 2020, 13:34.Make Mercia Great Again!Comment

You make it sound like there's no choice. Cute.
If failed businesses / households do not go under through acceptance the market will do it for you. Just as it has done so many times before. Tories are turning the UK into Venezuela quicker the comrade Corybn could ever do.
This time next year they'll be blaming it on B or C-19 as to why they're saddled with a mortgage that is 2x the value of their home. Suddenly going bankrupt the year before looks like sunny uplands."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

And you're levered up to the eye-balls before a major deflation event. Quality stuff.
Remember how you said the FTSE 100 would never reach 4500 in a million years?
