Eviction Moratorium

[ignoramus]

Anyone involved? Either as a renter or a landlord?
I believe Biden will extend it now till June as a minimum.
Some believe it will drag until Sept and by then it'll remain until next spring.

Good people will lose either way because of this law.
It's good in principle but not in practice.
From afar, I'm seeing good people who are too scared to be kind anymore, through fear of being taken advantage of.
And it's like no-one cares about right or wrong or morally responsible behavior. There's only one rule now in America:
If it's law, then I'm in my right to exercise it and my actions should not be questioned.

Thoughts?

There is always the concept of unintended consequences. I would say long term no matter what, America cannot afford to keep exploding the pay gap. I'd say long term, it does nobody any good to create default and make more people homeless be it rent or mortgage.

We were evicted from an apartment complex literally right before the no eviction plan was put into action. We stayed with the boyfriend's brother in the same complex for some months before we got a room at an extended stay hotel. We're still here.

It's time for the safety nets to expire.

Huh? Private insurance, be it for a house or for health care are a "safety net". So really what the GOP is arguing is socializing profits when the private sector wins, and socializing losses on tax payers when the private sector loses. 

I agree, social safety nets in billionaire CEO and corporate tax breaks need to end. But as far as social safety nets like social security and medicare, you cannot find many, left or right, in the middle and working class who want that safety net cut.

Um COVID certainly is out of the expected and rare, but it certianly has an impact beyond regular ebs and flows. I see no problem with taking into account extra events. I'd argue if we had planned ahead instead of doing what the GOP always wants, we wouldn't be in as such a severe event.

Brian doesn’t make actual responses to posts. He simply blurts out whichever particular random bugaboo happens to be top of mind.

Next time write a poem about it. Don't forget to include the NRA, big oil and sports advertising.
