Who Made Rochelle Walensky Queen?
She did!

The Centers for Disease Control morphed into the Centers for Rent Control this past year. If you cannot crush a virus, then you can at least crush landlords.
Director Rochelle Walensky this week ordered a two-month suspension in evictions for renters who refuse to pay landlords. This follows the unfunded mandates dropped upon the backs of landlords by the bureaucratic agency dating back to September that expired at the end of July.
By what authority?
One line of the bizarre, byzantine order states, “This Order does not relieve any individual of any obligation to pay rent, make a housing payment, or comply with any other obligation that the individual may have under a tenancy, lease, or similar contract.” A few lines later, the order reads: “Any evictions for nonpayment of rent prior to issuance of this Order but not yet completed, are subject to this order.” Get that? The CDC does not absolve renters from paying their landlords; it just removes the only real mechanism available to deedholders to compel tenants to fulfill obligations.
The head-scratching translation from Weaselese and Legalese to King’s English seems the least of the edict’s problems.
