Millions of Americans could find themselves homeless starting Sunday when a nationwide ban on evictions expires, even as billions in government funds meant to help them go untapped.

Just like with the 2008 banker bailout, which resulted in foreclosures for millions of Americans and private equity flush with bailout money buying properties on the cheap and cementing a rentier economy for millennials, here come the results of the corporate subsidy heavy pandemic bailouts. Enhanced unemployment ending in September along with rent controls..just as some of the immediate dangers from the virus recedes, the true economic misery for workers has to be delivered under late stage capitalism.

dems didn’t get that done and instead just left for vacay instead of doing as Biden asked.
