& it's not NEARLY enough people talking abt this utterly failure to lead on the part of the Democrats nationally.

>failure to lead on the part of the Democrats nationally.

I mean the republican party is so easy to lead and they are so willing to do the right thing, right?

Democrats fought for it to go on as long as it did. If it were up to the GQP this wouldn’t even have happened and it would have ended far sooner.

Dem majority in both chambers and the white house and they can't even do the basic shit right

*Zero* anger at the do-nothing Republicans in Congress or the Republican majority Supreme Court who prohibited an extension of the moratorium past July 31st.

they love not doing shit. because they don't give a shit about you or me.

Oh wait...

>Oh wait...


guffaw..chortle

you damn Skippy they would

baby steps lol.

dems part of the problem end the political duopoly etc

A sudden influx of mass homelessness during a viral pandemic, that is still escalating due to variants, shit communication and no public health system;

A sudden influx of mass homelessness in a housing market that is just outright unaffordable for people;

A sudden influx of mass homelessness during a rise of anti-homeless legislation nationwide....

And Congress is on recess this month.

Just how much does it take for Americans to organize and fight back?

I know people needed relief but not paying rent for months was a terrible idea.

Now I’m hearing states have cash they are just slow to release it.

and if I’m a landlord where does that leave me and my property since I wasn’t receiving rent and the bank is also knocking on my door?

Banks about to swoop in and snatch all this shit up.

In the pandemic people need to be housed. We are surging again.

Is it to stop evictions in general or to stop pandemic-related evictions?

From what everyone is telling me, including other posts here, its an employee job market these days.

Also, what about small time landlords? Seems unfair to extend the moratorium on evictions when there is no mortgage relief.

To ensure the housing market remains stable?

To calm irrational fears in the wider economic structure?

To avoid 2008,pt 2?


on sabbatical.

does it really matter?

wonder what bin's doing?

and while it sounded like a good idea we all knew it wouldn’t last forever.

Who will make landlords whole for this?

and we all know who will suffer the most. Black folk.

If someone tells you to stop paying something like rent you better continue paying it or paying it into a savings account because they are coming for that back rent.

Talk about a set up.

Virginia has a rent relief program
So does the city of Alexandria
Both our renters lost their jobs
relief covered it...but we told the renters when the moratorium is up you gots to go
they both got job around march/april again
they were out july 1st
places are already rented again
we got lucky

My only tenant that lost their job was already on Section 8 so they just ended up getting more assistance.

Many landlords weren't as lucky. And there were definitely some tenants who never lost their jobs that gamed the system and just stopped paying rent as well. I don't know what the endgame on that decision was but if you're not going to bailout the landlords (forbearance isn't a bailout since those delayed payments are still due eventually) then you at least gotta let them get their properties back so they can find tenants that can or are willing to pay.

and some of these people definitely gamed the system and while there is nothing wrong with getting a little more money from UE or using the moratorium to stack some bread..

you still gotta pay rent.

put something on it at least.

they're just sitting on?

...this country is fucked

I've been thinking that the biggest political issue for programs like this and UBI in general is that I don't think voters will ever reward the party that gives them it but you can be penalized for not giving enough or cutting benefits too soon.

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

getting credit for "not being as bad as the GOP" is basically their strategy

which is a very shitty strategy (if they actually cared)

currently getting? About to hopefully get an infrastructure deal done. Possibly a second big reconciliation package through.

I suppose we already forgot about that ACA. How many potential lives were saved from death or financial ruin during this pandemic because they actually had insurance through the ACA.

and the majority of the Dem establishment is there to please their health insurance mega-donors and let the non-rich die

throwing damn near all of it in their 529

also got a nice refund I wasn’t expecting since we filed before the change in midMarch.

Especially for the people who need it the most, which is basically everyone with a kid or kids but especially working class poor and poor people because those monthly bills don’t wait for you to file your taxes.

Hopefully the DO NOTHING Dems and barely better than the GQP can make it permanent.

yep

i could be wrong but i believe changing/narrowing it makes it slightly more likely (though still unlikely) to survive a court challenge after the 1st one was struck down. and in the event that it gets struck down…it will at least be in effect for a few months until then and save a lot of people.

repubs game the legal system like that all the time with shit like passing slightly different voter suppression laws than the ones that courts struck down. good to see dems learning how to play the game to.

it generates good headlines for biden, keeps people in their homes, pleases dem voters, and elevates the profile of cori bush (who demonstrated for days to get the extension).

it also clearly puts the blame on the courts if it gets terminated (which a lot of people overlooked with this last one).

uh............

This is the ultra-left ALLLLLLLLLL THE TIIIIIIIIME
