Where does this end?

The CDC has reversed its decision to let the eviction moratorium expire, and has reinstated that moratorium until October 3. The actual text of the order can be found here. (pdf warning) There is one possibility that I see to removing a tenant:

If there is another part of the lease that is being violated, or if the lease has expired, it seems to me that there is room here.

Where does this end? Is there any endpoint where a property owner gets his property back? There is all of this talk about “people losing their homes,” but the people losing their homes are the landlords, not the tenants.

Judges are our masters

Congress couldn’t do it. The President can no longer do it. A judge in Atlanta can.

Override civil contracts by fiat, that is. The eviction moratorium expired at midnight Saturday night, except in Atlanta, where a judge claimed that evictions would be prohibited for another 60 days.

If I were an Atlanta area landlord, all servicing of rental properties would stop. No more trash collection, property taxes, or any other services would be taken care of. You might as well admit that in some areas of the nation, the right to private property no longer exists.

What if?

What if Donald Trump declared that he was transgender, and her new pronouns were to be she/her, and then the newly minted Desmond Trump announced her candidacy for President? Which would win? The hatred of all things Trump, or the love of all things tranny?

Missed deadline

I am currently fishing on the Penobscot River, just a few miles south of the Canadian border. There isn’t much in the way of cell service up here, and since you are reading this, it means that I didn’t get today’s post done due to lack of internet access.

Tax filing

I find it ironic that this article makes the claim that Intuit is “screwing over” taxpayers by charging them to use its products without mentioning how it is the government screwing over taxpayers by making the product necessary in the first place.

Schadenfreude

Frank Clark is a defensive end for the Kansas City Chiefs. He has signed a $104 million contract to play a child’s game for five years. This country has been so unfair to him that he decided to take a knee during the National Anthem:

Number 55 on a knee in the back? Yep, that appears to be him.

How has it been unfair? Well, they charged him with a felony, to which he pled guilty while he was a student at Michigan, where he was attending college for free. What was his crime, you ask? He forced his way into a fellow student’s dorm and stole his Apple computer. A violent felony because free college wasn’t enough.

He was arrested again later for domestic violence when he beat and choked his girlfriend into unconsciousness.

Yes, this country has been so unfair to Frank Clark. I can see why he would want to protest the injustices that this country has heaped upon him.

So why is this relevant? Frank Clark, a person prohibited from possession of firearms or ammunition was arrested in March in the state of California and charged with criminal possession of an assault weapon. Then he was arrested again just last month for illegally carrying a concealed weapon.

I wonder if he will actually spend time in jail, or if his celebrity status will still grant him a get out of jail free card. Yes – life is so unfair to American athletes. They should all take a knee in protest.
