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.

It wasn't a failure, Marianne. I know you know the power of words and the importance of using the right ones for each situation. That wasn't a failure!

It's all just a money making game for the super rich. This administration is filled with BlackRock execs. Of course they were never going to extend the eviction moratorium. Establishment Dems are almost as bad the GOP. npr.org/sections/biden-trans…

You're almost there. Just follow the logical conclusion. I know you can do it. Just a bit further.

BlackRock's role in the administration might have just as much to do with it

Blackrock has apparently been advising the Federal Government on how to address this crisis (since they did such a great job funneling that wealth up in 2008). Now they are reportedly buying up entire neighborhoods

Almost like they’ve been coordinating this together all along: From June: “Top U.S. Officials Consulted With BlackRock as Markets Melted Down: The world’s largest asset manager was central to the pandemic crisis response...” nytimes.com/2021/06/24/busin… #NeverLetACrisisGoToWaste

The real estate and private equity lobby. They feed them.
