 Due to a new law in New York no one can be evicted nor have any negative acts taken against them, even including a negative credit entry, for failing to pay rent or mortgage payments. This law applies to all rents and payments due until May 1, 2021. The law, according to officials, doesn’t absolve people from the debt, merely places it “on pause.” So how exactly can a landlord extract payment if eviction and negative credit reporting is off the table?

So tell me why on earth would anyone in New York pay rent for the next six months? Your average NYC apartment rents for $3,000 or more per month, meaning that New York’s landlords are on the hook for $20,000 or more for EACH rental property that they own. 

This is all a part of the Socialists using COVID as an excuse to extract themselves some wealth redistribution. 

 This article from Orlando illustrates what COVID restrictions are doing to our cities. Hundreds of thousands of jobs have permanently disappeared. 

 On social media, there is a discussion going on about this article, where a child rapist wants to get a sex change operation while in prison at taxpayer expense. A judge agreed, and has ordered that the operation will be done at taxpayer expense. Here is how the discussion went:

Man#1: So messed up. I’d love to know why tax payers should be forced to pay this bill? None of this makes any sense.

Snowflake: Because it falls under the realm of healthcare and prisoners can’t be denied healthcare.

Woman#1: this isn’t healthcare

Snowflake: Yeah it really is healthcare. Just cuz we don’t like the circumstances don’t mean it isn’t.

Man #2:  It’s cosmetic surgery. This it seems healthy, why can’t he get a paying prison job and save his money?

 Snowflake: We could make this argument about any healthcare issue for any inmate. For example, if a murder needs heart surgery the murder will get it.

 Woman#1: you are comparing apples and elephants.

Snowflake: Are you saying you’re okay with a murderer getting healthcare but not a rapist? Or do you just hate trans people more than murderers?

Divemedic: No, she is saying that sexual reassignment is not a necessary procedure. It is elective, no different than a person expecting a facelift or a breast enlargement on the public dime.

Snowflake: That’s just an uneducated opinion. Most doctors and therapists would agree with this action.

Divemedic: Of course they would. I am sure that most auto dealers would support buying every inmate a car. If doctors support it so much, then they can do the surgery for free. Or perhaps the inmate desiring the elective procedure can set up  a gofundme page, and all of the people who support it can pay for it.

 Snowflake:  False equivalence. I mean if ya hate trans people then just say you hate trans people. 

 Divemedic: I don’t hate trans people any more than I hate people who want to drive a Ferrari. I just don’t think it is proper to force me (through taxes) to pay for something that someone else chooses to do.

Just because I believe that the procedure shouldn’t be done at my expense doesn’t mean that I hate anyone. 

 The national debt stands at $27.5 trillion. The first time I blogged about the debt, the US owed $10.6 trillion. That was in 2008. A year ago, I warned that we were borrowing a trillion every ten months. A trillion dollars ago was August. Two trillion dollars ago was May. A year ago, the debt was $23 trillion. The government has borrowed $4.5 trillion in the last year. 

Congress just authorized another $2.5 trillion in spending and COVID stimulus. That means we are guaranteed to have a national debt of $31 trillion by next Christmas. Our economy cannot support this level of spending. 

The wheels are coming off. Find things to store wealth that are not denominated in dollars: gold, Bitcoin, ammo, food. I have a feeling it will be worth much more in the near future. 

The press in 2017 was apoplectic over then president-elect Trump not answering questions from reporters who he claimed were “fake news.” Biden is now doing the same thing, only answering questions from a few selected reporters, and only questions that he knows will be easy to answer. 

All they have to do is keep him around until he is President. After that, he will no longer be needed. I wonder if he knows how expendable he is. I wonder how they will finally get rid of him.

 The antigun crowd complains that “gun makers are the only industry that can’t be sued.” Aside from the fact that this isn’t about product liability, but is about gun makers not being held liable for the criminal misuse of their products, it is plain false. Proof:

Moderna and Pfizer are immune from civil liability if people receiving the COVID vaccine experience adverse side effects. 

Can we demand that Facebook and Twitter put a “fact check” label on anyone who posts the complaint about gun makers?

 This skit on SNL with Tom Hanks is the most racist thing I have seen in a long time. It is intended to be a slam on Trump supporters. They are making Trump supporters look stupid by comparing them to the beliefs of blacks. So the are in essence saying “look at Trump supporters, they are just as stupid as black people.” This is what the left finds funny, even while they call Trump supporters racists.  Even though Tom Hanks said that our WW2 soldiers in the Pacific theater were fighting a war of racism and terror, calling our armed forces terrorists. 

We keep hearing in the news that we have to be locked in our homes because the hospitals are all full. Someone leaked the hospitalization statistics. 

The secret here is this: In the ICU, there normally is a ratio of one nurse per patient. Therefore, for every empty bed, there is a nurse sitting there with nothing to do, and even if you assign that nurse to other duties, it is busy work. The same goes for all of the other professionals who would be providing services to that bed. To do otherwise would make the ICU into an overstaffed money pit filled with red ink. If the unit drops below 70% occupancy, the hospital loses money. So they do what any business does- they reduce capacity to match demand. Anyone who owns a restaurant knows what happens when it is slow- you send servers and kitchen staff home. Hospitals are no different- they try to keep the ICU at 75% or more of capacity so they can remain profitable by adding and subtracting beds from the ICU as needed.
