But there are rare cases in which the landlord doesn’t want to go through the commission process and instead wants possession of the property.

There were a handful of such cases during [Judge Gale] Robinson’s court Tuesday.

When a landlord wanted possession, Robinson would ask if they also wanted the back rent, pointing out that the commission would be the best way to get that money.

“[The commission] has millions and millions of dollars,” Robinson said during one case.

In that case, the landlord’s lawyer said the property owner wanted possession but also “didn’t want to waive the right to pursue damages in the future.”

The whole feel of the article is obviously against property owners because they had the gall to demand what’s owed to them and the return of their legal property. “But there is free money from the Federal government!” seems to be the cry for “reason” which ignores the fact that is not government money but taxpayer’s money and that the same emotional appeal used to get funds to pay for the rents of a lot of assholes who could pay but refused to do so under the protection of a mandate,  can disappear if the political winds change and the property owners are stuck with an occupied structure that they cannot make money out of it.

I read in another article that some owners are evicting no-paying tenants and then turning around and selling the property: How dare they! (Part 2)  And again, do what you want with your goods is somehow shameful and immoral, but somehow not paying for services provided is morally righteous because there is a pandemic excuse. My take is that the owners got a nice fat offer and being tired of dealing with the fact that the monies owe were not coming in, they would rather get rid of the headache for a tidy profit. And I cannot blame them for that since they are not in the public housing business.

I am amazed that some lefty in congress has not come out with a proposal to expand Eminent Domain to seize private rental housing and give a chance to the poor families that “cannot pay [coughbullshitcough] rent” to live with dignity and all the accompanying flowery horseshit.

Then again maybe is hiding in that Infrastructure bill that we need to approve to read it and know what’s in it,

Mother of God! That was a fast reaction. Too damned close! And the fact that he kept OD’ing means the accidental dosage must have been significant or the deputy is particularly sensitive to the poison.

Fentanyl and opioids in general are a frigging plague. The CDC says that in 2020 out of 93,000 deaths by overdose, almost 70,000 were by the poppy-related crap.

It has been a while since I talked about Narcan and the need to have one or two dispensers if you happen to know and be close to somebody who is an addict. So let’s take this opportunity again to reiterate the idea of being ready and have that life-saving device with your first response kit.

I believe that most states now allow the buying and possession of Narcan without a prescription. But of course, check your local laws first. Be sure you can both buy it and administer it without ending up in cuffs.

And here is the Tennessee Naloxone Training Information page with both the law and online training and certificate.  Anybody else knows a similar page with information for your state, feel free to post it in the comments.

The Exalted Ones are above you.

Straightforward question: I keep hearing/reading about the new rising cases of COVID every day and week and I wonder, who is getting tested? The ones forced to do so by work is not a great number and I have not seen in months those long lines of people dutifully waiting to get their brain swabbed via nasal cavity. If you are already tested and know the result, I doubt you will go and get tested again every week or even month. If you already got the shot, why bother with testing, specially if you are symptom free?  I am not even seeing people in line getting the vaccine, so where are the powers that be gathering the info from?
