1/ The more I think about the failure to extend the eviction moratorium, the more I think there were powerful forces working against it. Too many people are saying “Hey it wasn’t us, “It wasn’t us, “It wasn’t us.”

2/ They didn’t *want* to extend the moratorium. And why? Because the very people most at risk of eviction are the people they want to go back to work at the low paying jobs that are available now.

3/ Lifting the moratorium is a way of saying “OK, you had your break, now get back to work.” Extending the moratorium would have given people more of a chance to consider other options, to be part of a collective challenge to the chronic reality of survival wages.

4/ They didn’t expect too big a reaction to this & as usual they failed to consider long-term consequences. But the reaction is real; it’s important to keep it up. I hope someone will wake up & make this right for the sake of those effected & for the sake of our political future.

You're talking about capitalists. Start supporting the Communist Party. The Communist Party, the working class, this is the future of the USA. There's only so far you can push American workers.

Marianne, how do politicians expect the landlords to pay their mortgages? Their property taxes? The operating costs of the properties? Put food on the table to feed their family? Once you tell me this, then maybe I will better understand how tenants should live rent-free.
