Alpo Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Dave made a comment about Jack getting caught here when the borders were closed because of the plague. And that got me to thinking (usually a bad idea). Let's say I save up about 5 grand and go on vacation to another country for a week. And while I'm there the plague comes along, and the government closes the borders. Would they take care of me? I've got $5,000. That $150 a night hotel is eating that rapidly. And then there's food. If the border is closed long, I might need more clothing. Winter or summer depending. Would the government put me up, or when my money was gone would I have to live on the street? Would our government have put Jack up? Or would they send him along to the Australian embassy, and let them worry about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Most likely you’d be on your own. Use credit and debit cards to access funds from home. It’s a contingency which needs accounted for these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
