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.

Hoarding land is a more addictive fix. I bet they see a wave of foreclosures coming where they can get land cheap.

I disagree. It's all one big play to get Blackrock and other equity firms (ie dem donors) more property. It's going to domino into foreclosures and even more small towns and neighborhoods will become almost all rentals.
