At least 100 people gathered at a rent demonstration in Detroit on Saturday afternoon following a mother who was evicted with police assistance not too long ago.

Independent reporter Brendan Gutenschwage captured the rent protest in a series of tweets Saturday afternoon. He said about 100 people turned up for the event to march through Detroit’s West Side.

The end result of all the moratoriums on rent, etc., won’t be pretty.

Bankruptcy courts will be jammed before 7-4-2021.

Any problem the government tries to solve will just get worse.

If tenants do pay rent, the landlord can not pay taxes. Is there a tax moratorium?

The landlord goes bankrupt and skips town. Good luck getting anything fixed.

This article is for anyone dumb enuff to think it’s a good idea to rent out their current home and buy a second.

Bankruptcy will be the result.

Either bankruptcy, or the building conveniently blows up and insurance covers the cost.

Animals in the zoo get free room and board.

Of course, they have to obey the zoo-keepers as well.

Seems to me that the American middle class taxpayers bailed out the banks and Wall Street not so long ago. And, since, the money owed for rent will be going to these same bankers a little reciprocity is in order.

Gavin Newsom: I think this is a good time to take off. I just got free tickets to Cancun with free resort stay included. They told me some guy in the US Senate changed plans. I am outta here.

How are they going to pay it?
I can’t imagine how many people are going to declare bankruptcy.
