Almost every business starts getting nosy about what their customers are spending money on when the customers aren't paying their bills.

They often even have the contractual (and sometimes the legal) right to do so as creditors.

You seem to be making the unwarranted assumption that you are "top" in this scenario.

With a little humility (or is it humiliation? I get confused...), I'm sure you'll do just fine.

You probably should pm d2_e4 with proof. Do NOT pm me.

Rocco I read in another thread you’re a lawyer and are a good poster. This doesn’t give you the ‘they have their ruling now let them enforce it’ vibe?

To the point that the issue is the scope of agency rule making and neither of us are experts: is it not safe to say that lawyers at the CDC are among the experts? What of the fact they said the moratorium could not be legally extended for two months, let it expire, and the reversal is I would say clearly from political pressure.

Per my question to lozen it would seem monumentally short sighted if gov't did not provide the relief first in terms of a rent or mortgage supplement to the people who needed that and instead just handed them a cheque while saying Rent or Mortgages do not require payment for now but you will have to catch it all up later.

I would call that setting a failure trap for the majority of the populace.

He does enjoy screwing people.

Ok, I mean, I'll confirm that he is a 9 inch prick, but I'm not sure why you are setting me up to get pictures of midgets here.

Wait, did I get something confused in my drunken haze?

I'm sure that the lawyers at the CDC understand that the CDC may have the worse end of this legal argument.

But I really have not looked at this closely enough to know whether the CDC's argument would pass the red face test.

This is going to keep me laughing all winter.

Just so you know, his full name is Rocco Sifredi, and he is available for private consultations as long as the fee is there. I'm actually his promoter (I mean, you saw above, I have to validate any images before they are sent to him), so PM me for details. As long as we get a decent down payment down, we should be good to go.

Shuffle are you both very worried about inflation and a Cori Bush supporter?

d2 you lost me.

Lol. His name is Rococo, not Rocco. But there was a thread very recently where one of the twists was some Italian porn star called "Rocco" something or other made an appearance as a peripheral character.

You think the *poor* are concerned about inflation?

Lol.

Do poor people, who are predominantly uneducated, concern themselves with reading some academic's work about macroeconomics? No.

Does inflation disproportionately affect lower income households in their day-to-day lives? Yes.

I mean, I'm not saying that I'm Snow White here, but I have to assume that you are just purely trolling the thread at this point, i.e. as opposed to your regular trolling, you are actually now coming out with **** you couldn't even defend yourself if it had been directed at you.

Edit: As I did earlier, and you chose to ignore it.

Sounds pretty serious. How does it relate to landlords?

Well Cori Bush scrubbed her campaign page of policy positions so that’s too bad.

Shuffle-either Biden or Cori Bush can have absolute control over federal spending. Who do you pick. Remember you care about inflation.

Let’s call it $3 trillion in new spending. In her world it would actually be closer to $10 trillion but three is fair. Find her $3 trillion in new taxes man

None for nothing, but inflation is pretty sweet if you’re in debt. It’s generally the guys with large piles of assets that grouse about depreciation. This is Econ 101 stuff.

Cori Bush is an agitator. Her goals to help the least fortunate are the best goals. Her policy proposals are terrible. She would put $600 a week back in unemployment check. Indefinitely.

She’s a useful force pulling Democrats closer to justice. That doesn’t mean she’s a serious person who should be in charge of serious things. You should take between 5-50% of what she wants after putting it through the ‘will this cause unintended economic disaster’. You don’t let her make policy. Especially when what she’s agitating for was declared illegal by the Supreme Court two months ago.

I don't think so. But I do think there is something somewhat immoral in subjecting the workers to the same or even more risk than the ~capitalists who essentially derive their gains from the workers in one manner or another.

What my business comrades often overlook is that our society allows us to essentially walk away from millions in debt through bankruptcy protection rather than spending the rest of our lives working that debt off when our best laid plans for riches fail for one reason or another as they inevitably do. But debt can't just disappear at the stroke of a pen—someone, sometime has to eat it and the someones in this case are the workers. At the end of the day, the workers are the ones mitigating our personal downside risk, pretty much to the point that the only risk a lot of us face to our personal living standards is the risk of not making more money if our ventures fail.

That statement is predicated on the assumption that income for those on the bread line rises linearly with the cost of essentials, which it doesn't. Inflation doesn't affect income and expenses equally, other than by coincidence.

‘Landowners ****ed us for generations now it’s time to **** them a little’ is at least an honest position not 0 calorie trolling.

But BlackRock is diversified. They’ll be fine with no rent. It’s individual landlords’ backs you’re building social policy on top of. Come out and say ‘I do not care about them.’ And good luck with that politics in 2022.

How about the fact that ‘Biden is controlled by the radical left’ now has well rested muscular legs.

Cori Bush, evicted three times in her personal life, has some great ideas about economic policy. How about figure out how to not get evicted after the second one. Don’t you have kids ffs and you just keep getting thrown into the street?

d2 if I ever hear of a group of 65 year old Italian women throwing a bachelorette party I’ll hit you up.
