What.. then your landlord does not need to pay their insurance, home mortgage, repairs.

A three-bedroom home anywhere in the world no matter where it is, should be $150,000 no more. This is all your fault for letting the government, the real estate,, the builders get out of control with the prices, and now you're paying for it. enjoy sleeping outside in cold rain

They're still bitch when the landlord quits fixing things. Can't fix with no rent money.

I actually can’t pay it for , I haven’t receive the stimulus , no job , no unemployment benefits either , I am independent contractor and I’m screwed

THEY DON'T CARE

It's one thing to want the government to foot the bill. It's another to try and force your neighbor to do it. Pathetic, selfish freeloaders, let's get you back to work.

The people acting surprised by this are the same ones calling protesters stupid for wanting to go back to work.

Cute how ppl make this into a voluntary 'protest'. No fool, we literally can't pay.
