Nor does the universe care about your sense of fairness or lack of understanding of econ 101. Keep restricting supply while demand increases, and watch what happens. Oh wait, we’ve already seen what happens, and yet we refuse to acknowledge it.
So be it. A population deserves the problems it gets.
I never said supply wasn't an issue. I said people are out here acting like they are owed luxury and that has never been true nor will it ever be. We all know zoning laws and supply restrictions for profit are what got us here. Do you think any of the lobbyists receiving money from these corps are gonna let it go? No.
Edit: and econ101 doesnt matter when the supply is kept artificially low through corporate welfare, consolidation, and lobbying.
Dude is either trolling or brainwashed. You’ll never get through to them.
Ah, OK. But then "there's more empty houses than homeless people" argument doesn't make sense.
WDYM it doesn't? It works as expected.
Ah, a population can't deserve anything, an individual can. But yes, you are correct.
Sadly humans are apes and thus they are not really looking for science to tell them what they don't know, they want it to confirm what they'd like to think.
