Bernie Sanders: "Donald Trump wants to divide us up based on the color of our skin, based on where we were born, based on our gender, our religion and our sexual orientation."

 

 

 

Good God Bernie, that is literally the democrat party platform now.

 

Without identity politics, there’d be no democrat Party.

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Individual rights.............Not group rights"

Earlier this week, @OregonGovBrown made it easier for families to stay in their neighborhoods by enacting statewide rent control. No one should ever have to choose between paying their rent each month or feeding their children.

The willful ignorance of basic economics continues

I've never personally run into rent control laws but as a former landlord I can see unintended consequences. What happens if the rent includes utilities and the price of those go up? Does rent control hurt the ability of the Landlord to update? Maintain? Whenever the government imposes laws that go against the law of supply and demand they ***** things up.

As landlord you are responsible for paying local property taxes and pass those taxes along to the tenant.  If the local taxing authority raises your rates or increases your assessment, can you pass that increase along to the tenant?

Unlikely, that would be discriminatory and harmful to the tenant.

Basically, the landlord is screwed.

In NYC people will be paid to leave rent control apartments so either the landlord can sell, or so they can raise the rent for the next tenant. There are a lot of stories too about landlords doing stuff to run off rent control tenants.

Seriously.  "Beto."  "Beto O'Rourke."  And I thought "Mitt Romney" was silly.  

 

I'm starting a birther conspiracy that Beto O'Rourke is actually Nigerian.

 

Speaking of ridiculous names.  "Jay Insley" somehow sounds more ridiculous than a grown man going by "Scoop Jackson."

 

(Though neither is as ridiculous as "Scooter Libby.")

Sandy Berger comes to mind.

classless as usual Ryan.  And you wonder why people avoid the PPP. 

 

Come to the PPP and discuss you say in the Shout Box.  Then instead of having a conversation all you do is insult.

 

How not great is that iced latte and everything bagel ?  How not great is being ######ed and being able to display repetive TDS daily for months on end ? 

 

It is great.   You’re just an idiot 

 

which one of these kooks are you voting for in 2020 and why?
