So, I started this particular thread on cancelling rent and I started it with a proposal that both rent and mortgages go on a holiday and a universal income supplement be enacted for the duration of the emergency. This is an arrangement that enables all three of renters, landlords with mortgages, and landlords without mortgages to have a shot at getting through this without bankruptcy.
And yet every reply comes in crying about mortgages, which I said right in my first post should have a holiday as well because otherwise there's conflict.
There's a knee-jerk reaction of empathy for people holding property that isn't being extended to renters here in this thread. It's showing in where people stop reading and hit the reply button. If you can't read past "rent holiday" to see the next part, you aren't spreading your empathy evenly, let alone fairly (which is not necessarily the same thing).
