    The landlord made an investment, and investments come with risk. An investment is not an entitlement to an endless stream of free money. Sometimes investments go south, and the investor gets fucked -- that's the free market in action. Don't like it? What are you, some kind of commie?

    On the other hand, only a barbaric, illegitimate government would force millions of its own citizens out onto the streets in winter, in a pandemic. And only a depraved, callous person would support that to artificially guarantee the returns on landlords' investments.
