How are you voting on Prop 10 regarding rent control? (credit, homes)

I'm really against all of this privatization of government services. When there is a profit involved, service suffers, in my opinion.

We need to take the profit out of low-income housing, and start transforming all of the vacant state properties into housing that is managed by the government. And yes, I'm okay with higher taxes to provide that. But, I really believe if we did this, these properties could easily be self-sustaining.

You seem to be in the camp who wants government in everything. News for you. My husband was in government and they don’t do anything. That’s why he was frustrated and retired.

So, you'd prefer the government tells you how much you can charge for rent, if you decide to rent out your house?

I'm still undecided on this one.

They've tried this in every socialist and communist country, and it's always failed.

Profit motivates people, not hand outs.

Really? Do tell us with examples.

Profit motivates for sure. But not always honorably. Want examples? Read up on your POTUS’ business dealings history.

I've tried to be nice, but you're really suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Get you're GED, take some classes at the local community college (sorry you'll have to pay for both), then get back to us.

At this point you're just coming off as an angry old hippy.

Lol. In other words, you can’t back up what you said.

Funny too how you equate being educated with having certifications. Would you like a list of very interesting people who dropped out of school to self-educate? Such as Richard Branson? Or how about this guy, who is largely responsible for you and I being able to have this conversation:

Philip Emeagwali dropped out of school at 13.

Called an "unsung hero of the internet," the supercomputer scientist dropped out of high-school in Nigeria due to war conditions and lack of tuition money. According to Time, he was considered a math prodigy and continued to study on his own, earning an equivalency diploma and later a scholarship to Oregon College of Education in the US.

In 1987, Emeagwali came up with the formula for allowing a large number of computers to communicate at once. The record-breaking experiment was a practical and inexpensive way to use machines to speak to each other all over the world.

The discovery earned him the IEEE Gordon Bell Prize in 1989, and he has since been hailed as one of the fathers of the Internet, according to Time.

And how about a list of morons with college degrees? You can start with Donald J. Trump.

You’re wrong. He’s already declared that he’s had thousands of positive posts here and not confrontational at every opportunity. He’s ever the optimist. And always right. You best learn and know your place if you want to post here.

Still not sure why people respond to his bitter, angry condescension.
