Stimulus Checks.

Chances are, as it was then, the police won't remove you.

??? Your debt will grow, eventually you will be evicted, you will then need another landlord to trust you will pay the new higher rent that your bad credit will trigger. Best course is, if you cant pay, make the best deal you can with your creditors to minimize the damage as much as possible.

No. Then you vote for a National Socialist leader. Who then proclaims imminent domain over most rental properties and takes possession of them. Then basically turns them into section 8 housing. Also, I had a friend who's son was the friend of the son of a landlord. He told my friends son that all his father had to do for a living was collect money. Maybe it's time such people got a real fucking job instead of being parasites. And actually make something tangible that contributed to the human condition.

Landlords pay property taxed and are required to maintain property according to code.
The issue is that there is no way low income workers will ever be able to make back payments.
On the other hand, why would a landlord kick someone out when no one has money now and the landlord will have to go through the pain of advertising and showing the rentals to other people who have out of work?

It sure is refreshing to hear somebody say something sensible on this topic.
Why should the renters be the only ones to take a bite if the coronavirus shit sandwich. Also, probably most people only earn minimum wage. Which they have trouble enough getting by with. Let alone pay back rent with. Also, the average minimum wage here in the U.S. is $11.80 an hour. If you are lucky enough to work 40 hours a week, that comes out to $1888 a month. The stimulus checks will be around $600 less than that. Only a sucker's sucker would wast it on paying back rent.

Also, probably most people only earn minimum wage.

Less than 3% of Americans earn the Federal minimum wage.

I wonder what rat infested hell hole you dug that statistic up from. I suppose you also believe that the Clinton administration balanced the budget. Before the coronavirus hit, there were around 27 million unemployed working age adults in the U.S. And around 22 million that were underemployed.

But apparently in some states it is $7.25. With the correct answers being so hard to find, there must be something fishy going on. But on one website from PEW Research, they say that 14.3% of Americans live in poverty. Which is 43.6 million people. But I also found that there are around 157 million workers in the U.S. That is nearly a third of workers. It seems to me that one third is more than 14.3%. Maybe we should get back to the stimulus checks.

What I was trying to go for was the number of working age adults in the U.S. that were in poverty. But that aside, what is the poverty level, idiot. I remember hearing that in California, a person needed to earn around $50.00 an hour to live an average middle class lifestyle. And I doubt if it a lot different in the rest of the states. But who makes that kind of money. Not the majority for sure. You could probably make $25.00 an hour and still be below the poverty level. No matter how rosy of a picture you try to paint, I don't think the reality matches it. Or your 3% figure.

There were also around 22 million Americans who were underemployed. So what's next for you. Are you going to tell me that human caused global warming is a hoax?

don’t know about cheery but it was best in usa history And that was with liberals shipping jobs to china and with liberals inviting in 30 million illegals to take our jobs and bid down our wages. Imagine the economy we would have without antibusiness liberals everywhere?

[Unkotare]

My advice is to NOT use your stimulus check to pay either rent or a mortgage with. There is a rent strike going on. Join it! Right now because of the coronavirus thing, it is illegal to evict you. Take advantage of it. If either your landlord or bank brings up rent or mortgage, just tell them you are out of work due to the coronavirus thing and can't pay it. I know that the banks got their bailout. So if your landlord brings up your stimulus check, ask them if they got one. If they did, then just tell them that you're squared away then. If they put up more of a fuss, (which they probably will) just tell them to write it off on their taxes.

If you disagree, consider this. I saw somebody on the news a couple days ago who used their stimulus check to pay their rent with. Do you know what they are now? HUNGRY! I say to hell with that! Do you think people should go hungry and deeper in debt, but for landlords and banks it should be business as usual? If you think that, I would have to ask you just how long you have been a sociopath.

There was a sort of similar situation that went on in the housing meltdown of 2008. I remember seeing a congresswoman on TV telling people to not allow themselves to be evicted. But to stay put. And that is my advice to you. Chances are, as it was then, the police won't remove you.

i still haven't gotten my stimulus check, nor has the hubby, nor has my older sister, nor has my mom and dad....

it's almost a month since they passed the bill..... where the heck are the checks?

When you do get it, don't throw it away on rent.

we own our home....outright.

your landlord has expenses to pay, just like you!

And I suppose because they are landlords, their expenses take president. And they have more right to eat than their tenants. Back a long time ago in France, there were those who thought as you do. Then the French started to build guillotines. That took care of that problem. Also, you don't own your house. Stop paying taxes on it. You will find out who really owns it.

Seriously, how old are you?

[quarantine]

In the U.S., before the coronavirus, there were about 28 million working age adults who were unemployed.

You're lying.

Some time ago at another forum, I heard somebody say that there were around 100 million unemployed Americans. With that being a little hard to believe, I looked up the facts myself. And I told you what they were. Thought now, I can't remember if the number of unemployed listed included those who had simply given up looking for work. Under which condition, they fall off the governments statistics. And I am guessing it doesn't include such people.

Precedent over your weed intake? Yes.

If you have to pay rent, you're going to build a guillotine?

Would you like to fuck off now, or later. Just because somebody is a landlord doesn't mean their lives matter more. And the poor probably get more hungry than they do. That is why the French built guillotines.

What I was trying to go for was the number of working age adults in the U.S. that were in poverty.

Good luck. Try to be less of an idiot.

Like it or not, the economy never was as cheery as fools like you want to make it out to be. If the government says the economy is doing good, you would be better off believing the opposite. In the U.S., before the coronavirus, there were about 28 million working age adults who were unemployed. Things are so bad that many quit even trying to find a job. There were also around 22 million Americans who were underemployed. So what's next for you. Are you going to tell me that human caused global warming is a hoax?

don’t know about cheery but it was best in usa history And that was with liberals shipping jobs to china and with liberals inviting in 30 million illegals to take our jobs and bid down our wages. Imagine the economy we would have without antibusiness liberals everywhere?

Sending jobs to China and letting illegal invader scab scum from mexico into the U.S. isn't anti-business. It is about as pro-business as you can get. The trouble is that they have the power to label it as liberalism and have fools believe it.

yes, it is anti American business and anti American jobs and only Trump seems to get that while Dims and standing by and saying nothing as always.

Trump is a Chump. He is all talk. No action.

We want pro-American business and pro American labor. Shipping jobs to China kills American labor and is neutral to American business since our companies have to give their technology away, share their profits, to enjoy the benefits of cheaper labor. Again Donald seems to care which is why working class elected him!!

If he had support he could be all action!! Democrats are still 100% pro China and 100% pro more illegal open border immigrants

You're lying.

Some time ago at another forum, I heard somebody say that there were around 100 million unemployed Americans. With that being a little hard to believe, I looked up the facts myself. And I told you what they were. Thought now, I can't remember if the number of unemployed listed included those who had simply given up looking for work. Under which condition, they fall off the governments statistics. And I am guessing it doesn't include such people.

Yes, there are a lot of stupid people making stupid claims at all sorts of forums.

My advice is to NOT use your stimulus check to pay either rent or a mortgage with. There is a rent strike going on. Join it! Right now because of the coronavirus thing, it is illegal to evict you. Take advantage of it. If either your landlord or bank brings up rent or mortgage, just tell them you are out of work due to the coronavirus thing and can't pay it. I know that the banks got their bailout. So if your landlord brings up your stimulus check, ask them if they got one. If they did, then just tell them that you're squared away then. If they put up more of a fuss, (which they probably will) just tell them to write it off on their taxes.

If you disagree, consider this. I saw somebody on the news a couple days ago who used their stimulus check to pay their rent with. Do you know what they are now? HUNGRY! I say to hell with that! Do you think people should go hungry and deeper in debt, but for landlords and banks it should be business as usual? If you think that, I would have to ask you just how long you have been a sociopath.

There was a sort of similar situation that went on in the housing meltdown of 2008. I remember seeing a congresswoman on TV telling people to not allow themselves to be evicted. But to stay put. And that is my advice to you. Chances are, as it was then, the police won't remove you.

i still haven't gotten my stimulus check, nor has the hubby, nor has my older sister, nor has my mom and dad....

it's almost a month since they passed the bill..... where the heck are the checks?

When you do get it, don't throw it away on rent.

we own our home....outright.

your landlord has expenses to pay, just like you!

And I suppose because they are landlords, their expenses take president. And they have more right to eat than their tenants. Back a long time ago in France, there were those who thought as you do. Then the French started to build guillotines. That took care of that problem. Also, you don't own your house. Stop paying taxes on it. You will find out who really owns it.

Precedent over your weed intake? Yes.

Back a long time ago in France, there were those who thought as you do.

If you have to pay rent, you're going to build a guillotine?

Would you like to fuck off now, or later. Just because somebody is a landlord doesn't mean their lives matter more. And the poor probably get more hungry than they do. That is why the French built guillotines.

Just because somebody is a landlord doesn't mean their lives matter more.

Just because you're a loser doesn't mean landlords should be killed.

Are you for Free Trade or Fair Trade?
I remember you being a Free Trade fanatic.

Yes a free trade fanatic like Milton Friedman! So against liberal anti business policies that have made it hard for us to compete freely with China.

You are mentally ill.
Reagan, Bush Sr and GW were each Milton Friedman globalist scum who destroyed the US economy.

I have no freaking idea how you can call these 3 pieces of garbage Liberals.

We had no plans to compete with China.
The 1% always use foreign labor to suppress everyone else.
