Are they? Didn't they somehow unilaterally suspend rent payments for the entire US, even though that is well outside their granted authority? And what social norms did lockdowns involve, exactly?
- 0daystock 4y agoA federal judge vacated the nationwide freeze on evictions that was put in place and the lockdowns were not merely the result of US health officials conspiring. Your criticism of the CDC is valid but I believe it is misguided; the manufactured moral outrage I'm speaking about distracts us from the real abuses of power happening behind the veil, and they are far more shocking than what is reported here.
- Clubber 4y agoI mean maybe. The CDC is just an outlet or a tool that was appropriate at the time. I'm sure they didn't come up with the eviction moratorium on their own, they were told to do that, or at least it was authorized by another group. They also knew it would be overturned because they have legal council. Just because it's the CDC doesn't mean there aren't strings moving the arms about. "The principle of a court overruling a public health judgment by a qualified organization like the CDC is disturbing in the precedent that it might send.”
- native_samples 4y agoAnd who was punished by the court for breaking the law in that way? Nobody, right? So in reality they aren't bound by the law.
