Manufacturing consent of "cancel rent"



 New York Gentrication Watch

Meet Donnette Letford, a victim of COVID-19 and needing rent relief. If you learn of her plight, you will understand why this unfortunate victim of COVID-19 has become the focus of so many pro-cancel rent articles, and why it’s imperative that we cancel rent for everyone–not only just here in the United States but around the world!
Now, before you roll your eyes in disgust at the very mention of “cancel rent”, listen to Letford’s story of tale and woe and see if it won’t change your mind. Here goes:
Donnette Letford is a single mother of three from Flatbush, Brooklyn–and an American–who can’t pay rent because her small business folded due to COVID-19. At least that’s what Annie Lowrey of The Atlantic wrote in The Cancel-Rent Movement:

Oh, wait…did Annie Lowrey of The Atlantic say she lived in Flatbush? Because according to Shannon Ferry of NY 1 in City Tenants Advocate for a Rent Freeze, Weigh Possibility of a Rent Strike, she lives in Canarsie–

If you cancel rent you will cancel much of the tax money that funds big cities and small municipalities. If you cancel rent might as well cancel unemployment, stimulus and UBI payments because the whole thing is gonna blow. Progressives have such a hard on for "science" so maybe this will prove Darwin's theory of evolution. Are you ready? I am. Bring it.
