1. Best parts of the Trump video is the song they chose 'Electric Avenue'. The lyrics are gold. And did anyone notice the Trump 'skyscreamer' graffiti?

  3. Why would anybody invest in rental property if they couldn't raise rents to keep up with inflation?

  4. where i live downtown was recently a fairly shitty house but some dude bought it and fixed it up really nice and now charges me way more than it used to be worth. what he did would be illegal under rent control. making things better is illegal under rent control. everything gets worse.

    also new housing stops being built under rent control. and current housing is not maintained or improved. landlords often totally abandon their property and it goes to shit or burns up.

    economists compare the effects of rent control to fire bombing a city.

  5. and since you wont see this on CNN:
    White House
    Published 15 mins ago
    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-israel-uae-peace-agreement
    Trump announces 'Historic Peace Agreement' between Israel, UAE

    United Arab Emirates and Israel agree to 'full normalization' of diplomatic relations, Trump announces
  6. Not to nitpick, but making things better won't become illegal, but it will be totally deincentivized (is that a word?). Socialism has no means for raising up those at the bottom, it can only tear down those at the top.

  7. Actually both CNN and MSNBC are carrying the announcement live right now, but I'm sure they'll follow with a parade of blowhards telling us why its bad for the world.
  8. on the cnn website it has trump 'railing' against the FBI chief....nothing about this

    imagine that....
  9. its essentially illegal in that recouping the expense of improvement is illegal. any improvement that would raise the rent never happens.

    true, the landlord could make a much nicer house as a way to bankrupt himself and ruin his own family.

  10. Having issues with CNN on the TV in my office at the moment, so don't know what they're doing. MSNBC carried the announcement live, but cut away the moment Trump started taking questions.
