Yes, I'm a Conservative, But SOME Rent Control IS Necesary

[WinterBorn]

lol. Right-wingers are just plain hypocrites about being Legal to the Laws.

Back on topic now, please.

 

[WinterBorn]

Would landlords be worse off if persons could obtain unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed?

Would we need "rent control" or more "normal market activity"?

Since the same amount of money would be spread among more people, the net loss would make it harder for the average landlord to get the rent money.

Why would it be more difficult for a landlord to collect rent from persons with an income?

The point of the thread is not whether or not they have income. It is whether or not they can afford to pay higher rent.

How many would be getting evicted now if they could have obtained unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed in our at-will employment State?

How many homeless would prefer to stay on the street if they had an income?

How does that unqualification happen? Equal protection of the at-will employment laws is in our Constitution.

How does that unqualification happen?

See your state Department of Employment Security......here's Illinois'

IDES

The Illinois Department of Employment Security is the code department of the Illinois state government that administers state unemployment benefits, runs the employment service and Illinois Job Bank, and publishes labor market information.

ides.illinois.gov

For details.

Equal protection of the at-will employment laws is in our Constitution.

Yup, all people are equally protected if they get laid off.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

If a person can legally quit, our State legislators have no authority to abridge, deny, or disparage that civil right for unemployment compensation.

LOL!

Is employment at the will of either party in that State?

And if the landlord raised the rent?

It is better if you have some income rather than no income. What if one person is still working a normal job while the other one got laid off?

The one laid off would collect unemployment compensation to get them through until they get their next job.

The issue raised by the OP was an increase from $600 a month in rent to $1,000 a month in rent. Unemployment compensation will not cover that.

So the landlord will evict.

Unless you propose rent control, in addition to your laughable idea on unemployment compensation.

Also, as stated by the OP, most of the tenants are retired. Unemployment compensation would not apply to them.

Assuming there is one available. With equal protection of the law that person could simply go to school until they get employed.

With equal protection of the law for unemployment compensation, markets would have better metrics to work with and enable greater efficiency for our economy.

The unemployment office will also help them find a job.

What? What the hell does your post have to do with the topic? What better metrics would they have to work with by sending checks out to people who have no interest in working?

 

[danielpalos]

By "making" them work instead of get vaccinated?

Dear, only Capital must circulate under capitalism.

 

[WinterBorn]

By helping them in their job search. They don't MAKE anyone do anything. You go to them and request assistance.

You always seem to assume that capital will not circulate unless it is taken away from those who earned it and given to those who did not earn it.

People who earn their money will also spend their money, thereby circulating it.

But how does that circulation of capital, by either means, give anyone better metrics to work with?
