    I had a closer look at the numbers. Of the 43 million rental households in the US, 17.5 million households are estimated to owe a combined $22 billions in outstanding rent leading to an average debt of about $1260 per at risk household.

      this is extra mind-blowingly funny because it means with 22 billion dollars they could avoid the rev but they're so stupid and our institutions are so decayed that they can't get together <1% of the federal budget.

          I mean, even being the greediest possible bastards would suffice. but that involves seeing the end of the empire fast approaching them and their own ideology has blinded them to the possibility. so rather than spend a little money today so they can continue to extract, extract, extract, they'll try and continue their neoliberal BS right up until the second it dawns on them that they've gone too far - whether that's before the only option left for them is to flee or face the wall, that remains to be seen.
