No you don't understand, if I as a part time master's degree barista cannot afford to live in the big city it must be priced incorrectly, so we need to fix it with rent control. Plus my local barcade has been price gouging on craft beer so let's have some price controls too while we're at it

I remember reading an economics textbook where it said the goal of an economist is for everyone to end up exactly equal.
So, having a low income should have no downsides and having a high income should have no upsides.
I stopped reading pretty quickly, so I never got to the part where they explained how the reeducation camps would function.

This is not ordinary r-slurred, but profoundly r-slurred

>leftoids sell rent control as a beneficial policy for all renters, but deep down they know it gives losers a leg up over everyone else (i.e. people who might want to move someday) and that this is the entire point. it's to make urban living LESS accessible and advantage what they consider an "authentic local" over transplants. everyone wants to keep their favorite shit exclusive but if you have no money you have to resort to other means to put yourself ahead of others, and "I was here first" is a classic one. they'd implement hukou if they could.
not sure where I copypasted that from, but it's true.

>authentic local
phenotypically, the authentic local can be a gullah-like :chadblack2:, someone from chiapas, the blackest muslism indian paki, or a :marseymayo: :chadlatino:. NEVER a WASP or WASP-adjacent types, and certainly NOT a member of the :marseymerchant:

Eh, at least it's obvs they are r-slurs, unlike the other 'science' or 'history' ones that are just as full of r-slurs but wear the dress of educated authority
The only reason this place isn't just askhistorians posting is our users are too poorly educated to to see the problem
