I honestly don’t know how they could do this. Congress leaving town without extending the eviction moratorium is such a “Let them eat cake” moment; I’m concerned it will go down in history in much the same way as the first time it was uttered.

I think the mom and pop landlords who depend on the rent as their main source of income may understand "how they could do it". trying going 15 months without income and you may comprehend it!

Funny, the word "turnout" never comes up in these moments. Why would I care about who is in office if I cannot keep a roof over my head either way?

Really though? You can't be serious? You're surprised by this? I wish I had even an inkling of your naive optimism.

Has anyone read this? Why don’t Billionaires end homelessness or hunger? Why don’t our elected leaders help us? Guarantee this “philosophy” permeates the top tier of our society. currentaffairs.org/2021/07/t…

Congress is a lost cause not because of who happens to be serving at the moment, or what attitudes they may hold, but because the entire institution is no longer suited to solve such problems in today’s world. Blaming representatives will do no good. Seek alternatives instead!

They did this because they are NOT AFRAID of their constituents, and that is a bad place for our politics to be in. Its about culture wars and not policy, they don't have any policy except MAGA. We have got to get Corp money, PACs, and Super PACs out of politics.

As a huge fan, I am certain we all understand ‘how they can do this’... no media outrage, no problem. & Let’s not forget how quickly the funded MIC & abandoned Oligarch tax increases.

They, our representatives, are The Monied. They could care less about the unrich.
