Yes. Indeed I would say those entities not only support these relationships but preach that they are crucial. In effect: nurture these relationships or you will be let go.

This does not absolve those who made the wrong choice. It does partially explain why the rot is so broad and deep.

Sure thing. Good luck with your evictions

"that I thought would hurt"

This phrasing is telling.

One can do harm unintentionally. Whether one is "really" being reckless it is a matter of opinion - no amount of posting can resolve it.

But trust is critical to being effective. This doesn't seem like a productive way to build trust.

One thing we have in extreme surplus is comfortable, clever folks who spend each comfortable, clever day thinking up comfortable, clever ways to say nothing matters.

*You* said moratorium this month = foreclosure.

Lack of deep pockets doesn't equal righteousness. I could "reg joe" landlord but I don't b/c it's immoral to ask tenants to live on the brink.

Less overleveraged landlording would decrease false demand and give more tenants a path to ownership.

The rent isn’t coming regardless. You say that means foreclosure. So options are: put a family on the street while property is sold, or shelter them while property is sold. Not even a choice.

People who can’t withstand 1 month loss should not landlord. Anyone can break an ankle & miss rent.

Oh, I see. So evicting them today will get you that money today.

Oh wait, it won’t. The math still isn’t working.

If you are one month’s rent from foreclosure you cannot responsibly maintain a property and shouldn’t be renting to people.

So let’s focus on real shit and not fairy tales.

Blocking everyone saying the murder if Americans is a ‘distraction.’

I honestly don't mean this to sound as snarky as it will, but how is this exhausted-seeming monologue 'strategic'?

Strategy is organized.

LOL A+ trolling here.

Eh, evictions create division, and if they have to evict, then that rent isn't coming anyway.

I actually don't know what Walz can or should do, but the argument that landlords need the money doesn't work.

I mean....

‘Hookers?’ Grow up.

US economic exploitation created the ‘banana republics,’ so if anything he ‘belongs’ right here.

People under the impression that this calamity is somehow a foreign phenomenon should reflect upon the ways their xenophobic rhetoric powers Trumpism.

A brilliant piece with an ending straight and true. Thank you so much.

Despite having no connection to MN, I somehow ended up watching some of this series 20 y or so ago, and it was fascinating. The score is beautiful; we used a small portion of it in our wedding.

ROFL when is this from?
January 27, 2026 at 4:53 AM
Yes, 'flood the zone with shit' - a media tactic articulated by Steve Bannon - is a tactic they use.

But be clear: they are doing ethnic cleansing because ethnic cleansing is their foundational goal. It's what "they're eating the dogs" and revolting "mass deportation" slogans are about.

(part of turning the car into swiss cheese was dropping a bad guy's dead body on it from 20 stories up or whatever, so that may be the part you're remembering)
January 26, 2026 at 8:36 PM
No he didn't; per Sgt Powell's dialogue, McClane was "turning my car into swiss cheese!" which SHOULD have killed Powell at least a dozen times, but didn't b/c it's a very stupid if very fun movie.

holy shit. I need an image of clickhole guy between two mirrors, so there are infinite reproductions of his fivehead, so great is the disorientation brought about by greenwald being this correct about something nontrivial
January 26, 2026 at 4:12 PM
jfc with these people. it's never surprising and yet somehow shocking every time.
