Wound-Up Wednesday – June Ends on a High Note

Things are looking good .  The markets are holding up and Brett Kavanaugh sided with the Liberal judges on the Supreme Court and gave 4.2M homeowners another month before they are evicted from their homes.  In a hot real estate market, it was the National Association of Realtors that brought the suit to the Supreme Court, trying to evict all the people who are behind on their mortgages so they can collect commissions selling and renting the houses – what could be more American than that?  Justice Kavanaugh issued a one-paragraph concurrence explaining his views, saying he believed the moratorium was unlawful but was willing to leave it in place for July .   After that, it's open season on distressed families and we can happily add about 10M people to the ranks of the homeless.  But how about those open houses!  " One man's suffering is another man's commissions " – as Jesus used to say…  The four other Conservative justices - Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett – indicated they would have lifted the moratorium.  They also insisted that women in those poor familes be forced to have babies, so that they too could be thrown out onto the streets.  " Love them until the day they are born – and then let them suffer their whole lives " – as Jesus used to say….      The moratorium is based on public-health concerns. The CDC found that mass evictions could accelerate the spread of Covid-19 because displaced tenants would likely move in with friends and family if not into shelters or settings in proximity with others.  The moratorium was originally set to expire Dec. 31, 2020, but Congress extended it until late January, and the CDC has extended the order three times.  . Local governments across the U.S. have struggled to quickly distribute approximately $47 Billion of rental assistance authorized by Congress, with some complaining that their staffs are being deluged by a flood of aid requests. Numerous renters are being disqualified for failing to correctly complete their applications, local officials say. The problem is, of course, that $47Bn won't do anything but catch people up on their back rent – it doesn't help …
