    Rent control is also the oldest thing I've ever seen propagandised on reddit.

    Even before Reddit took off with the Digg exodus, any thread about rent on reddit would have a "rent control doesn't work" highly upvoted chain of comments and people blowing smoke about how it's proven over and over and economic bullshittery.

    It is the oldest and most embedded piece of propaganda on that hellsite.

    2011 example with absolutely zero opposition: https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/legp9/why_is_rent_control_a_bad_thing/
