"Opportunity costs," "wage-price spiral," "thinking at the margin," "gun and butter," "negative externality"... terms dreamt up by the utterly deranged. A fanatical cult of "economists" bribing puppet politicians into considering their religious orthodoxy a science. "Tell me how price controls would cause less people to be housed" YOU TELL ME. More people can afford housing so there would be more people with houses right? Is there an equation I have to write with an inverse of negative one? DEATH TO ECONOMICS.

In other news I have a C in Economics.

Does economics explain why we can’t just kill the developers and the rich people then have an abundance of housing?

If you kill your employer you no longer have a job. And good luck finding someone who will hire you after that!
