Oh, progressives. Tell me that you don’t know how business works without telling me you don’t know how business works.

I’m no expert on the economy or business. But I do own some rental properties which I inherited from my parents’ estate. To honor them, I have decided to keep them rather than sell.

It’s eye-opening to see that the bulk of the incoming rent payments go to overhead. I thank God the buildings are paid off, otherwise I’d be underwater.

But rent controls? To punish the evil landlord who sits back and claws in all the rent money he gleans from overcharging his poor tenants? Should the worst happen, and Kamala and Co. manage to pull off mandated rent controls, then I’m selling ASAP.

You are 100% right on this one, Tom. Childish Leftists want to blame Trump for everything, but it wasn't him who destroyed our economy but the Dems. But it's pointless arguing with people whose brains are switched off. It's like Dems talking about the Housing problem. Of course there's a shortage of housing and prices are skyrocketing. Open borders and millions of illegal immigrants made demand skyrocket, which in turn made prices go nutz. Then all wealthy Dems want to scape the Blue states they've destroyed with their soft-on-crime policies, so they move to Redder states, thus making the housing demand increase, taxes and prices to go higher, and they keep on voting Dem, so the cycle perpetuates along until total implosion. It never ceases to amaze me how little Dems care for their own country, their own safety and finances. Do they have so much cash that they feel despite it all going to hell they'll stay rich? Don't they see what happened in Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina? Nope. Their brains are immune to reality and their consequences alas. Selfish hypocrites.
