New York City just approved a rent freeze on nearly one million apartments. Sounds great until you realize what happens next. Landlords stop maintaining buildings because there is no return on investment. Developers stop building new housing because it is not profitable. The housing supply shrinks. The shortage gets worse. Every city that has tried rent control has ended up with less housing and worse conditions

New York is about to learn this lesson the hard way

Communism through (my) ages:
1) When I was 15, a teacher told me "It isn't as bad as they say, and makes a lot of sense."
2) At about 19, college friends, "Socialism isn't communism."
3) At 20, on meeting my grandfather-in-law, "They are evil. We escaped in 1949."
4) At 30, "China is a wonderful developing Democracy"
5) At 35, I was sent to communist China on business. It was a crowded, smelly, dirty, factory of despair and hopelessness. This I saw with my own eyes.
6) At 36, "China doesn't count. Successful socialism is in northern Europe."
7) I moved to northern Europe when I was 40. It was much nicer than China, but also felt like I was living in the past. I had to wait 6 months for a hernia operation.
8) When I was about 45, the migrant crisis began. The socialist/globalist/pacifist allowed them entry into every country, regardless how many crimes they committed along the way. Just 20 minutes from my house, in Calais, I was shocked to see migrants jumping onto trucks, breaking open the doors, scattering the contents across the highway, then climbing in. They went through the Chunnel and got out in England.
9) At 52, the soft socialism around me had transformed into globalism. I was told I had to call people by their preferred pronouns, though it was a lie, and even if I didn't know what the preferences were. I quit.
10) I returned to the US, and am now 60. "Socialism" is no longer a dirty word here. People openly espouse the virtues of it. Politicians run as socialists and win.

Socialism has taken many forms, from the Bolshevism of Russia, to the CCP in China, the Nazis in Germany, Fascists in Italy, and the many forms of it found in Latin America. It is one of the two most destructive ideologies on earth. It is designed to deprive, despirit, and murder everything that comes in contact with it.

Socialism is a great lie at every level. It helps no one, not even those who benefit the most. This is because the cost is the imposition of one's will on everyone else, and that destroys the soul of the usurper and the life of the oppressed.

Socialism always fails on its own, but only after destroying almost everything in its train. It can also be conquered. Those are the options.

Anti-Israel.

Anti-America.

Anti-Western Civilization.

Why am I the only Democrat in the U.S. Senate that refuses to excuse this or defend any of those self-identified communists?

@tracegallagher They need more victims to have a platform, and they're getting harder to find.

@ZeekArkham @TruthHurtsTKV Scum doesn't have a racial barrier to earn the title. It's even worse if he would do it for money.

[PickPocket @SwingBandit]

@WesternLensman Of course he fantasizes about he could spend somebody else's money. Loser.

@Tironianae So... there is no reason for Virginians to vote for the President. Their vote swings to what the rest of the country wants. Now that' some stupid sh*t .

@ChrisDJackson I get it this is parody. Nobody could be that much of an idiot.

@Acyn I'll bet you would have really hated it then when Iran had a nuclear weapon to taunt against us.

[PickPocket @SwingBandit]

@MikeNellis Yeah, it's a wonderful country we live in. If you don't think so you're free to go.

Happy birthday, President Trump. Thank you for being the greatest President of my lifetime.

I sincerely hope this generated pic isn’t the closest I’ll get to shaking your hand.

THE GOP BETRAYAL CONTINUES - This miserable RINO bitch, Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, needs to be the NUMBER ONE target for a primary in 2028.

She has once again voted AGAINST the Save America Act.

Share this far and wide!

@NyinaWaJambo81 What if the greatest common good is being able to leave this planet one day? Does that make your sentence seem short sighted?
The right to private property is a basic tenet of our system that has lifted much of the world out of poverty.

@BernieSanders Said the parasite that never contributed anything to humanity. Mr. Musk makes humanity better every single day, and capitalism rewards his achievement. That Sir, is why you should be proud to live in the greatest country on the planet.

[PickPocket @SwingBandit]

@simonateba @elonmusk Absolutely not outraged. I'm so proud that our system can allow a person to become wealthy beyond comprehension while advancing humanity. Let's not forget about all the jobs created for others. True empathy lifts humanity up, it doesn't keep them where they are.

The day @elonmusk becomes a trillionaire, you can set your watch to @SenWarren and @BernieSanders firing off their pre-written outrage posts.

Sorry, but I don’t want socialism. Capitalism rewards innovation, risk-taking, and value creation. Elon built companies that millions of people voluntarily support and invest in.

The American public has already cast its vote—and it’s called the stock market. $TSLA $SPCX
