So what you’re saying is that section 8 housing, and other welfare housing, doesn’t actually deliver AC? I can believe it. That makes my point, though. Money being spent in the name of the poor isn’t getting the results that were contracted for.

Poor people who rent outside the welfare system, including the near poor, stand a real chance of getting what they pay for. If the AC breaks, odds are the landlord gets it fixed within a couple of days. The invisible hand sees to that.

“The Invisible Hand sees to that?”

Why?

Because the poor will move to someplace else if the AC is broken?

I’m sure being poor they have a lot of free time to go searching for a new apartment to rent, or who knows maybe their just unemployed in which case I bet the lucky dogs have all the time in the world to go shopping for a new place to live with the money they don’t have…..

I am dubious of trusting things I can’t see and that includes the invisible hand of the market.
