“Way to go, government” in placing a moratorium in the first place or letting it expire?

The moratorium is meant to protect good tenants from evil landlords but it doesn’t protect good landlords from evil tenants. So it is another special interest group that gets something, that only ends up hurting them.

The government gave what the people desired. “Way to go government”? Is like saying “government why did you give these children what they asked for?”

I meant “way to go” in ending up a situation where a grant from the government can’t be delivered in time, so a more expensive and damaging alternative becomes likely. It’s just poor organisation or coordination. I didn’t mean anything about the validity or appropriateness of the moratorium, or the ending of it. That wasn’t clear from the way I wrote my comment.

It’s a pity the article doesn’t go into more detail on the distribution. I felt that they kind of hinted that states had been slow to distribute the money to their constituents, but it doesn’t go any further.
