Congress's inability to produce a second stimulus bill has prompted worries of a tsunami of evictions in America

times, attending housing court in America is a dispiriting encounter with the judicial system. The justice dispensed looks much like a conveyor belt. Few tenants can afford lawyers to challenge the eviction orders sought by their landlord . Many do not show up on the day, so the judge enters default evictions for them en masse. Even more dispiriting would be the spectacle of a judge pronouncing a family’s eviction by video conference in the midst of an epidemic that has killed 190,000 Americans.

Congress has been unable to come up with a second stimulus bill, even though Democrats and Republicans agree that one is necessary. That prompted worries of a tsunami of eviction filings. In Philadelphia, 17 protesters were arrested for blocking the entrances to court a few days after the state moratorium expired. In some cities, like Milwaukee, evictions quickly rebounded after coming to a halt .

The public-health rationale for the decision is straightforward. A team of epidemiologists at Harvard, the University of Illinois and the University of Pennsylvania has published a model estimating that even a low eviction rate would increase caseloads by 1.5% by the end of the year. But a high eviction rate would increase cases by 13%. The non-medical consequences of pausing evictions could prove equally important.

TRUMP knew early on how dangerous the coronavirus pandemic would be and yet Trump still played it down, he LIED! Now, with over 190,000 deaths, it's undeniable 'TRUMP HAS BLOOD ON HIS HANDS!'

Many of these evictions are just going to be delayed until after the election. Renters still owe the debt and landlords still have mortgages, taxes and overhead to pay. Guess who’s going to find themselves homeless in the middle of winter?

Has the world lost leadership? If u locked me inside of my residence, out of my work place lawfully due to the pandemic, where do u expect me to get the rent? Where is humanity? Why are the rich trying to behave like robots on Mars?

Hell no! Gov't needs to pay their Rent!

PRESIDENT TRUMP GFY 190,000X

Evictions are a problem. We just can't let them proceed. I'm aware that many owners have loans of their own to pay but they are much better prepared to handle this than poor renters might be. (Also: Republicans might not be so reluctant to help richer people.)
