    If people don't pay their rent, then tons of landlords can't pay their mortgages, which creates a massive eviction crisis and a massive real estate crisis.

    The entire financial system in the US is so fragile that it can't handle this.

    Also, everyone should vote out any representatives that are holding up aid. They obviously don't care about their constituents.

      Alternatively, there needs to be an injection of funds in the right place. The $1200 stimulus check, but given out monthly would do a lot to stem the bleeding. People continue to pay for food, rent, and utilities. Landlords continue to pay their mortgages. The wheel keeps turning, though slower as people tighten their belts since $1200 isn't a ton of money to live on.
