This is going to cause a lot of financial hardship if it continues for more than a couple of days, even today is probably going to cause people to get evicted, miss insurance payments and etc..

So thousands of people lost a day's wage for something that didn't work.
For some of those people it will make the difference between paying the rent and not paying.
Not that anyone gives a fuck about low wage workers.

So, nothing is canceled.
