Rant on shipping

[Doofy]

I see a very big mess on the horizon between Renters and Landlords. Glad I am neither.

Banks can't foreclose until a minute after the rule changes.........
Banks, State, city etc. all expect to get paid each month whether renter pays in or not.

I feel for the landlords. Many of the renters that get behind are likely the ones that wont be able catch up if/when we get back to normal.

Those are the very same renters who expect everything to be kept up to snuff. I have never thought about being a landlord, yet now I'm really glad that I'm not.

A lot of the renters are making more money now then before the shutdown.
They don't pay because the government said they don't have to.
It is EXPECTED the government will pay or forgive the past due money because they can't be expected to pay a years back rent when this is lifted.

^^^ Yep... I do not see how this will end well. It will go on for years in court.

When we first moved here they gave us the number that had previously been assigned to a real deadbeat. Collection calls galore. After a few months we got it changed to the number in our exchange that had gone the longest time unused. That got rid of most calls, but as far as I know many of the spammers just dial sequentially so unlisted or not they're gonna get you.

Caller ID is a good thing...if we don't recognize the # we let the answering machine get it. Very few of the junk callers leave a message.

I inherited a work from for a former employee. He apparently was a dead beat and a player.

It alternated between getting collection calls, paternity suits, and a persistent baby momma that was trying to track him down to do colorful things to him. Took about a year for the calls to fall off.

My favorite though. All of a sudden I started getting calls from one of the local school districts.

At first it was automated calls for school closings, and a couple other times it was notifying me of a school lockdown.

My youngest was in a different school district, and the older two were out of school.

I finally called them when I started getting truancy calls for one of their students and got a name and number for a contact at the school.

As near as the lady could tell, they probably hit a wrong digit when keying a parents phone number into the computer.

But hey, it will be a tax write-off and thats free money, right?

I wasn't aware that landlords don't have bills of their own to pay. Do plumbers work for free now, and is heating oil the same?

I get it but the rent eviction moratorium keeps being extended with zero consideration on the other side.

Part of the reason is courts are closed for most purposes.

We all know the reality of sourcing/shipping supplies...

Many will never catch up... and a few have no intention and backed by continuing extensions.
