Perverse reaction

So the author laments, "And yet I know of at least three different countries (or parts of countries) where rent control is seriously advanced as the solution to housing problems."

Yeh, bucko! And how many times did yer mother scream at ye:

"Don't touch that hot burner!"

"Don't yank that cat's tail!"

"Don't chew on that cord!"

"Don't ... don't ... don't!"

And ye did! Did'nt ye? Yup ... over 'n over ye did! 'N ye expect that others'll be smarter? A nation's leader group is nothing but a bunch of clots sittin' 'n fussin' with each other, where the IQ of the brightest of 'em divided by the number of 'em present is the IQ of the collective ... and ye expect a smart decision to come from 'em?

Don't get yer hopes up!
