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.
