I am OK with dealmaking and giving people a break but that concession should come from me and not some self serving politician.

We’re “Members”, not employees, so we may not even be eligible, lol (haven’t spoken with my lawyer or CPA or researched further ).In the back of my mind I’m worried about the government having an equity stake or some leverage over our business.After the bank and auto bailout in 2008/2009, I remember a lot of politically charged criticisms by congress and other politicians over business operations in those industries for years until loans were repaid....$2K now doesn’t assuage my fears of that later.

I am still amazed however that our politicians managed to remember why they were in Washington DC long enough to jointly pass the biggest aid bill probably ever, but definitely in our lifetime. 

Our best chance for avoiding financial suicide is to let the Fed run the money supply - and get politicians out of the mix. 

Landlording is Mom & Pop industry and as such Landlords mean nothing to Politicians. 

I feel like it’s easy for politicians to waive rent without solving the underlying problems like rental assistance and how will mortgages, taxes, etc. be paid! 

In ~ 2008 thousands of foreclosed homes were bought up by large corporations that have $$$ to buy off politicians.

In the long run, I believe a lot of politicians and the government will use the social programs to implement more of their agenda taking away property owner rights.

In NYC there is currently a movement of politicians and tenant advocates who promote the idea that housing should be completely controlled by the government. 

Buzzfeed and socialist politicians try to appeal to rent strikers.
