But I insist.
My friend Scales is a thoughtful writer, but in this case, he’s wielding a classic rhetorical sleight of hand—introducing a different frustration about private equity (fire truck manufacturing) to distract from my original argument: government-created scarcity is the true culprit in manufactured housing rent spikes.

If fire departments are smart, and responsible to taxpayers and their money, they’ll be ahead of the game with paying Trump’s retarded tariffs while still paying less for equipment from China, and having readily accessible parts available to keep their equipment in proper working order.
OABTW, Reagan was spot on.
