Eviction moratorium hurts the little guy

This is an excellent example of how the eviction moratorium hurts the little guy. Immigrants, minorities, women . . . These people are trying to make a better life for themselves in the land of opportunity while improving our communities and cities. And what do they get in return? The government that claims to be looking out for the little guy instead creates policies that favor the takers and punishes the producers.

Do you feel sorry for this tenant? Sure, he lost his job and had to struggle for a bit. But I would love to see how much money he made from the stimulus checks and increased unemployment benefits. This guy has money to drink beer, smoke cigarettes, and watch his flat screen TV, but he doesn't have the time or respect for his neighbors to pick up his own trash? Why isn't he out looking for a job? 

You could drop me in that town on a Sunday morning with $1 in my pocket and I guarantee I could have a full-time job or two lined up within a week. It literally took me one minute to find there are entry-level jobs paying $14 or more and hiring right now. 

Parasites like this turn my stomach.
