Way too many people were out work for 6 months or more when their employers were shut down as a “non-essential business”.
Unemployment and “stimulus” payments do not come even close to making up their losses. People at the low end of the economy are not going to catch up.

Just wait for the judgements and wage garnishments. I’m betting a lot of people won’t return to work as they face a 25% wage garnishment for past due rent, as well as a bank garnishment (that can take all a debtors bank funds with no limit).
Unemployment money and stimulus money (the first two rounds) are judgement-proof.
At least in Denver, the scumbag property management companies have 2 numbers on speed-dial. One is their eviction lawyer, and the other one is a debt collection agency.
So people returning to work face trying to live on $217.50 a week, while landlords can take the rest. And also pay for new housing. So incessant whining about landlords not getting paid is false. It’s called a wage garnishment.
Sounds like perfect conditions for recruiting violent revolutionary cannon fodder. Which will be targeted at individuals who own a few rental properties.
The large apartment management companies have plenty of cash. They can afford the new fees, licences, taxes, and bribes to local officials or "community activists". They can afford private security forces. They can raise their rents, and/or collect Government subsidy payments. They will do quite well after they have evicted their non-paying tenants.
The Communist-led mobs will target individuals who cannot fight back.
