And that's not enough for these people to pay their bills?

This is just more commie agitator crap. These people just do what they're told.

Can you apply for unemployment if you’re an Uber driver who’s fairs have dried up (not a rhetorical question.)

1) it's fares
2) you simply switch to Uber Eats, which has more than quadrupled in the amount of deliveries during the pandemic

do I really have to explain this to you?

Please do. I've already said that I feel for anyone who's had their job affected by government mandated shutdowns. But there are programs out there that have helped those people. I've also said I might could understand the protest of these people if it were directed at the appropriate agencies and not landlords who've also been affected financially by having to lease to people that can't pay rent because the government said so.

But yes please explain to me what leases, loans, or contracts, and how they work, has anything to do with living withing your means...because that's what you asked when I pointed out that millions of people shelter themselves on $10/he grocery store jobs.

People with questionable skills and flakey service sector jobs deserve a chance at renting if they can afford it, just like minorities and gays deserve to be hired if qualified for the job.

But these days I have to wonder why would anybody even bother renting to non steady career people or hire any protected class. It’s just not worth the trouble it seems like.

Now you know where to send your server to hand them their eviction paperwork :)

I just saw a white girl on carrollton and earhart with a sign saying homeless and pregnant, anything helps.


But one of my bartender friends has been perfectly fine paying rent and not working because he's getting $800+ a week.

No i was driving by while reading the sign and didn't think to roll my window down. I thought about it after, that would have been good advice.

I was expecting it to say some blm crap at first.

This sign says it all you capitalist pigs!



"Can't wash hands without a sink"
"People over profit"

You can't catch corona if you're protesting.

Everyone knows this.

WTF have they been doing with their $600 a week + local unemployment checks??

Throw 'em out on their deadbeat asses.

Paying rent?

I mean that is kind of the point. The money is running out and there aren't jobs to be had. How does one continue to pay rent?


The targeting of landlords is weird, i'll give you that. A lot of us are in the same situation. Luckily I do not have to make a tough decision with my tenants. Im sympathetic but blame the government, not landlords.
