State and local agencies that distributed federal aid to renters facing eviction during the pandemic are now scrambling to claw back millions of dollars in overpayments.

Officials in at least five states have been sending tenants and landlords a flurry of letters, typically citing clerical errors or other bureaucratic mix-ups, demanding that portions of the temporary relief money be returned. Some of the notices ask for five-figure sums within weeks.

    Yes, replace all the workers with AI. I’m sure if we just do that everywhere surely the wealthy folks will let us live in amazing ghettos. Totally a better idea than just having people pay appropriate taxes.

      Don’t be silly. We first take all their money to fund this AI. Then behead them if they complain and ask for it back.

      I mean, if the work is getting done then we should all be benefiting from it.

      The point of work is to be productive, not to make money.

      Sorry people like you don’t understand that.
