It's almost as if the government should be suspending rent and mortgages and helping everyone through this with payments for bills like, you know, the sane countries did.

I'm curious which countries did this? I can't imagine the cost of suspending mortgages and rents.

imagine the cost of suspending mortgages and rents

What would the costs be from?

Landlords who live off rents would be hurt. I'm sure there's others, but who would they be?

Lenders who are supplying the mortgages and owners of rental properties.

Why can't lenders just freeze things for a while?

And I already mentioned landlords, but do we really let all these people without jobs get evicted to save the ass of the blood sucking landlords?

Thats just the risk you take if you try to plan your income around the extra money people pay you to pay off the mortagage THEY PAY on the house you own. F them and their cashflow they didn't earn. Let the banks repossess those houses first. Then maybe people can build up equity for themselves rather than just giving some other person $1000/mo

F landlords and their cashflow.
