EDIT: Seriously, how do you reform this?
First step, question the information. So you follow the source, and find that the person who tweeted that has a follow up, where they asked the Judge for comment. Judge indicated the person had been in court previously, where the case was delayed to allow time for rental assistance, which was denied, and this was a second attempt at it. So not even the sole source of that information maintains that tweet is accurate in a vacuum.

And as a general rule, if Seanchaidh posts something from twitter, just move on with your life. It's never accurate information.

Okay, but it's approved now. 7-14 days delivery.

I don't think that really changes that the rental assistance request, albeit on the second go, has been approved.

Rather than eviction moratorium, I wish the government had done a needs based financial assistance program. Are small landlords and homeowners getting any kind of assistance or are they just abandoning their properties?

New moratorium covering 90% of the US population. Slightly surprised this hasn't been mentioned already-- do we only like the bad news around here?

It was stated in the fifth page.

And I still have the same question then as I do now; how did this go from "The Supreme Court says we can't extend this without Congress" to "We're extending this without Congress"?

It's nothing but a bandaid that'll fall right off and put us right back here in 60 days but I'll take a bandaid fix for now. But I still don't get how this went from something they can't do to something they can do.

Depends. The previous extension got dragged into Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of the extension, but added the stipulation that any future extension be approved by Congress. So a few questions arise. Does the CDC have the authority to make another extension? Will this be taken to court again? And if yes, will the court rules that the SC's ruling should stand?

I presume it's about time. Sure, the same landlords' group which originally appealed the moratorium will almost certainly appeal again... but appeals take time, during which people cannot be evicted.

Regarding whether the CDC has the authority: in Brett Kavanaugh's view, unambiguously not. And he was the swing vote last time. (I hope those who believed that Trump could only do a limited amount of damage in 4 years, and that he's therefore no worse than the alternative, are taking notes).

They can also apply for assistance, apparently.

Which I suppose is fair enough since they would also be unlikely to be able to get a real job at this point in time.

I'm told to never be a landlord. For most, it is a real struggle. You are responsible for the habitability of the property you rent out. A buddy, long story short, rented to some slobs that made him come to the property every time they had busted something. I think he charged too little.

My grandfather bought a 3 family house and rented to two other families. The rent payed the mortgage while he took care of the property. Me? I just don't think I could do it. And without anyone doing this job? You'd lose a heck of a lot of rental property people depend upon.

This also brings up a larger problem with straight up Democracy. Renters will always out number Land Lords. Vote that rent is cheap and you'll drive most of these housing providers out of the business. Government can take over. Then you have people like Hunter Biden deciding where resources go. Not a good idea.

Or, and stay with me here, we finally read enough of Wealth of Nations to reach the conclusion that rent seeking landlords are bad and do away with the idea entirely.

Also, the fuck is this obsession with Hunter Biden? Is he advisor to the president or in charge of planning committees or foreign relations or something?

He did drugs, partied, and fucked hookers. Oh and he leveraged his father's money, name, and familial connections to never have to work a real day. He's had photos taken in some mildly compromising positions and has some potential connections with shady people. Pretty much the same shit that 20+% of frat legacies at elite universities do...

Of course, Qtards (quickly followed by the "mainstream" Republicans) turned that into adrenochrome child porn Satan sacrifice nonsense.
