funny how Politicians know that Private Equity is bad in this case but the equivalent for Real Estate (REIT) is a sacred cow.

    "Politicians" aren't one hive mind. I assure you that this particular politician certainly does not see REITs as a sacred cow.

    Vote Borg 2029!

    Assimilate the means of production? Central planning? From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs?

    Got my vote.

    Assimilate the means of production?

    Yes

    Central planning?

    Yes

    From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs?

    No, everyone is expendable, and your needs are irrelevant.

    Better than real life communists because those tend to just be a dictatorship of the vanguard. A true hive mind where not a single person can have a differing opinion would be the best solution to a lot of things.
