2. I think if he meant that, he would have said that.

7. Then he is wrong.

Period

[ColinC]

9. Maybe not

Especially if there are any holdovers that have put barriers in the way of things.

3. Chris Hayes: "I blame Democrats."

[ColinC]

4. Actually probably the people he says are responsible, are not democrats

Likely holdovers.

6. Holdovers in the White House?

8. Chris Hayes, " lemme check with my brother Luke for tonight's Dem bashing line-up-festival"

Be there..it'll be wild!

How come Hayes literally never has any of those White House Democrats on his show?

14. There are no holdovers in the White House.

5. How bad is this surge going to be and how big the economic effects?

We have the vaccines to limit both, and delta has already started vaccination rates shooting up again, 70% now have had at least 1 shot.

I'm proud of us (Democrats!) for having the will and our nation for being able to to enact the moratorium in the first place. But it has to end at some point, and it was thought this summer would be a responsible time.

Has that really changed? I don't know. I do wonder, though, specifically because our Democratic caucuses haven't yet moved to create another extension. Maybe shaking loose the giant fortunes of federal aid that states were supposed to disperse to people in trouble is our next step, assisted by the renewed media attention that only ending the moratorium would generate.

Notably, that last has already begun.

10. Yup. States hold billions.

"Maybe shaking loose the giant fortunes of federal aid that states were supposed to disperse to people in trouble is our next step, assisted by the renewed media attention that only ending the moratorium would generate."

Biden gave them billions.
It's outta his hands at this point.

12. One of the major problems with how the money is dispersed

is that in most cases the landlord alone can't apply for it, the non-paying tenant has to apply for the rental assistance or they both have to submit the application, depends on the state.

A friend of mine had a woman quit paying for 6 months in one of his rental properties. He couldn't request assistance because she would not cooperate with applying for it. Turns out she still had her same job and income, so she wasn't eligible for any assistance regardless, she just decided to stop paying and take advantage of the situation. She moved out recently and he said he isn't even going to rent the place out again until all this is sorted out.

11. The WH could have issued an executive order

Even if it got struck down eventually it still would have bought people a few more months.

I actually agree with the court rulings that the CDC did not have the authority to stop evictions.

13. Most landlords are not rich

They need that money to pay mortgage and live on. Biden doesn't want to look like he is flouting the law.

15. No an EO was not an option. It has to go thru Congress since the SC ruled.
