That should include forgiveness for some component of the interest part of the mortgage as well, which probably means some bank subsidies. How many people who want a pause in rents also embrace such subsidies?
More difficult that another Great Depression/Recession?
I just mean technically difficult, in the sense of deciding fairness in a structurally asymmetric relationship.

Oh, and those publicly traded “too big to fail” businesses? Guess where the ruling classes invest their wealth? It ain’t in @Mindysan33’s local record/comic shop.

I don’t trust that either. I’ve seen owners siphon company revenue while ignoring debts for years, then go through a Chapter 11 reorganization and come out on the other side still running the company, having screwed vendors, employees, the government (i.e. taxpayers), and everyone else.
