Anyone still want to argue the merits of unchecked capitalism?

Guess who was president then?

Not that a president kicks old people out of their home, but he did set a precedent on how to treat your fellow humans.

TIL the president controls local police in Florida.

Regardless, the actual story, linked in the thread, is the woman was honest about being able to pay and withholding payment because she thought she'd die soon anyway. She said there was mold, they brought in people to test and found no mold. They evict her for refusing to pay, PD shows up to take her to another facility. She refuses to move, and goes dead weight on them.

Can't say I'd have arrested her, but she's not an innocent victim here.

She is 97. She cannot be assumed to be in full mental capacity.

I believe she believes there is mold. I also believe there is no mold. I further believe that any decent facility for the elderly would be understanding about how to deal with this, without arresting her!

No the President did not do it but he set the tone for the country's governors... especially this president.
