Great conversation at @YALiberty with @scotthortonshow . Thanks for the convo and being so hospitable and endowing us with such wisdom. Great to meet you and I look forward to your speech later today!
Yes, your rent is frozen. So is the landlord's budget to fix your heat, your leaks, and your broken freezer. But don't worry, when nothing works, at least the number on your lease stays the same. You can admire it while you eat out.
And the rent won't rise, true. Neither will any new buildings, because no one builds apartments he's forbidden to price. So enjoy the same aging unit for the next thirty years, paying yesterday's rent for tomorrow's ruins.
Freezing a price doesn't freeze reality. It freezes the supply, halts the repairs, and ends the building, while the line of people waiting for an apartment grows longer every year.
But feel the warmth of collectivism: everyone equal, shivering together in identical crumbling units, sharing the broken elevator and the dead freezer as one community.
The number stays the same. That was the promise, and that is all you'll get.
Sorry your Evil Empire fell apart, m'dude. And condolences on your day job: blowing retards, grifters and clickwhores on behalf of your corrupt and murderous former KGB paymaster, Vladimir Putin.
