To each a according to their own. I am not producing anything for the people. Free monies a communist society does not make.
I just don't appreciate my real world question being replaced by abstract meandering and out of place political theory. I made a thread for that and it got no response.
To be pragmatic, Talk to your landlord now and get some breathing space, if they have any brains whatsoever they will realize that they don't really have a lot of good options, they could evict you but that requires courts and lawyers and all those non essential systems being operational and continuing to be operational long enough to throw you out, then they end up with an empty property, no income and absolutely no protection for the property which if you stay, you provide.
If the landlord is being an asshole, then nothing good will come of it, The government are already bailing out the speculators on Wall Street and they will bail out the rentier class, they may throw some crumbs to everyone else but they don't really want to. If the fabled Trump check comes out, all of say 1000 USD and a tax delay how long is that going to last people...less than a month a couple of months at most. You need to buy time and breathing space.
The over-reactions and shutdowns will ultimately hurt and kill more people than the virus ever could. Liberty and freedom is already dying and foolish people are willingly handing over more freedoms and liberty each passing day. Some people here get it. Some people understand that security comes from looking after your neighbors because one day the tables might be turned. You may be surprised by the amount of enlightened self interest in your neighbors.
I will make a more general point but everything below is sort of off topic:
The American regime, the government, has shown its true lack of humanity understanding and compassion repeatedly over the last few months, which is so disappointing because there are plenty of intellegent Americans who do have humanity and compassion but their voices are drowned out. Belligerently blaming China or Iran anyone, it doesn't care about American citizens, it doesn't fear you, it is fighting everyone. Don't expect the government to fix anything, they won't.
typical of the recent extreme rhetoric is
The Wuhan virus is a killer and the Iranian regime is an accomplice.” Pompeo
the world hears that and it hears a slightly different message, USA is intent on weaponizing the crisis. I don't think many Americans understand the seething anger it has created in enemies and so called allies. The level of anger in Germany over Trumps Curevac stunt is extreme, I don't think the Chinese are too happy with the Americans either. The USA is getting very close to learning first hand the meaning of blow-back, it is not too late but almost. The USA has the mighty dollar, so what, that is all the USA has. To all Americans: get building those shining castles on the hill, Now!!
