bro how else is Blackrock going to buy houses on the cheap? have you seen these prices?
extending the moratorium would benefit the national bourgeoisie (Blackrock), as it'd drive more petit bourg (small-time landlords) into foreclosurebetween the media only covering this in the last few days, biden being like 'the courts', and pelosi being like 'we just heard about this wednesday' this smells a lot more like the incompetence of gerontocracy than a conscious decisionnvm forgot that even if the house is foreclosed they still can't evict
Is this the stability and consistency libs promised with a Biden presidency?
"This is really so unfair" to the landlords, housing providers, as well as renters, Pelosi added.

Personally I think that the vast majority of them think that they're unstoppable and that there's absolutely no way that anything bad could ever happen to them. I think we're so far past the last time that they had any large scale consequences and that globalising production has made all the suffering... Distant. They think trouble is something that only happens to the people over there and not to them over here.
In essence, I think they don't believe anything can ever go wrong in the imperial core and as a result they do not give a shit. I think this hubris will be their undoing eventually.
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
They just don't believe it can ever happen again. They think history has ended.
Not to mention the people that you REALLY have to dig to find.
Maybe they think throwing even more people into precarious positions will encourage them to come back to work at their shitty jobs?
I have no idea where I heard it described like this, probably here or maybe a commie drinking buddy, but they described the current people in charge as "the sons and daughters of capitalists"
Meaning the positions they hold are purely nepotistic, and that they have no fucking idea what to do except for following the path their fathers left for them.
when it comes down to stuff like this, that's completely alien to their experience and there isn't a written in stone "do this to make money" rule to follow they just guess.
currently they feel completely unstoppable, so they ran the math, and decided this one somehow saves money. This could be for a few reasons, but mostly because they are so fucking alienated from the landlord-tenant system they have no idea what it entails and don't understand that you can't just get into a new house after you are evicted.
They have no idea about credit checks and renter's history, it's never come up for them and these things are by-products of the system instead of written into the legislation, so honestly, they'd probably be pretty surprised to find out about it.
I legitimately think most of these fucking imbeciles don't even understand how any of this works.
Expect a screaming hot take from some higher-up in the government saying something like "oh why don't you just look for a new place?" to confirm this theory.
For further info on what comes next check out the Ds9 episodes past tense pt 1 and pt 2 lmao

why don't all these people just get a small loan of a million dollars from their parents?
I was evicted, nervous breakdown and lost my job, like 9 years ago and the person I was talking to about the court proceedings and process literally told me to tell my parents to pay off the debt.
like, yeah, that's what they literally think we can all do lmao
I could go on about what a scam that was too. Ended up getting my bank accounts frozen and eventually paycheck liened until I paid off that debt which was 6 months of rent, during which I never even used the apartment because I was evicted.
They gain nothing. Maybe some of them think it's necessary for their "great reset", but it's really just a futher hollowing of the imperial core.
My hunch is even as recently as a few weeks ago - Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer (etc) decided that because Biden's vaccination stuff was going so well they focused on purely on the politics of 2022. In their POV - even trying to continue the moratorium wasn't worth the "political capital" to try get Sinema and Manchin to play ball.
They'd let the evictions happen, and they'd blame the republicans. Plus they'd say Gotta vote harder in 2022 so we got a bigger majority! But when vaccination stuff started to go haywire - they didn't know what to do. Maybe the supreme court's ruling surprised them? That makes no sense at all. But I just don't understand it. Anyway - they did what they often do when they are facing a non-Trump crisis which is nothing at all.
All of this is ghoulish, insanely stupid, and horribly self-destructive. But, hey, they're democrats - it's what they do.
Isn't it over 10 million people that are in danger of getting evicted? How do they think they can make over 10 million people homeless at the same time and not cause massive civil unrest?
That's what our billions of dollars spent on militarized police are for.
I think it's about 6 million, which is something like 1.8 percent of the country. If the fash are right and it takes 3% to accomplish a revolution, well.
The trick is to keep those millions separated. No organization, no unrest, much less revolution.

So what states currently don’t have there own eviction moratoriums?
It's pretty bleak in most states...
Emergency Bans on Evictions By State | Coronavirus Pandemic | Nolo
Scroll down to see the table.
State • County or City • Hold On Evictions • Hold on Utility Shutoffs • Other Tenant Protections/Notes
Consider Alabama
Alabama • N/A • Hold On Evictions? No. • Hold on Utility Shutoffs? No. • Other Tenant Protections/Notes: I assume this shit is near useless.
All but 6 states are a no on that. Fuck Monday is going to be quite the day.
As recently as Thursday on Ari Melber's show he and his panel they were praising Biden like a choir praising God. To drive home the point how impactful Biden's policies have already been they showed this chart a least three times. I know many of Biden's programs are temporary but it's a very powerful infographic.
I had a bit of chuckle. Look how awful it was under Obama. I was a serious lib then. And I hardly paid any attention to the poor. I'm working on it but I can still be a shit leftist. I totally forgot all about the rent moratorium expiring and - of course - Melber and his guests didn't say a fucking word about it. When I realized the evictions were going to start as early as Monday - I got very angry at myself for forgetting. But I was 100 times as mad at MSNBC. That infographic is propaganda. Also I took it in without understanding the context at all.
The average viewer age for MNSBC is 68. And they consume that channel like food. They won't really understand the suffering that's coming until MSNBC starts to cover it in a few weeks (or whatever). If it's not on tv - it doesn't matter.
The viewers will feel sorry for the evicted but they won't put one and one together. And the network will "forget" to mention that Biden and the dems let the deadline expire literally the day before the house went on their six fucking week vacation.
And if the MNSBC anchors and panelists blame anybody - it'll be the republicans.
