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.

Because hey those billionaires aren’t getting richer off their own labor, now are they?!?

Well you're right on one little phrase. We want them to go back to work. We should have never given these spoiled brats so much free money as we knew they were going to blow it on kayaks and PS5s and not pay rent.

People are getting 2k. In bonuses and getting higher wages to go back to work. Low my ass you haven’t been looking. Of coarse you don’t need to. Might want to step out into reality and see what’s really going on
