There are our betters who ignore the COVID rules and then there are the rest of us.
We’re the people like the Georgia shopper in the tweet below who got hassled at Costco because his son wasn’t wearing a mask. To be clear, the Costco member was wearing a mask but grew upset when store management threatened to toss him out over his kid. The next thing you know, two unmasked police officers were handcuffing the masked father and taking him into custody.
Yeah, we’re that guy.
They take pleasure in virtue-signaling to the public about wearing masks, distancing, and not commingling for meals, yet don’t actually follow their own advice when they believe the cameras are off.
Stay separated, they say. Don’t sing or “exert” yourself with others! But these scolds give away the game when they do nothing and say nothing about antifa and Black Lives Matter screaming, chanting, rioting, looting, and burning things down.
[Question for the day...How many of our "rulers" will lose their homes?]
A dark covid winter is descending on the working-poor of America as millions of adults face eviction or foreclosure in the next few months. Bloomberg, citing a survey that was conducted on Nov. 9 by the U.S. Census Bureau, shows 5.8 million adults face eviction or foreclosure come Jan. 1. That accounts for 32.5% of the 17.8 million adults currently behind rent or mortgage payments.
Additionally, the expiration of eviction moratorium, mortgage forbearance programs, and suspension of student loan payments could compound the working poors' financial stresses, many of whom, about 21 million of them, are unemployed and receiving benefits from the government.
The survey points out at least half of households in Arkansas, Florida and Nevada are not current on rent and mortgage payments - equating to 750,000 could face an eviction come early 2021.
On a city by city basis, New York City, Houston, and Atlanta had the greatest threat of evictions come early next year.
