  • There’s a Finnish joke from the Winter War:

    A large Soviet force is advancing. Suddenly, from over a hill, a voice shouts: “One Finnish soldier can kill 10 Soviet soldiers!”.

    The Soviet general gets angry and sends 10 men over the hill. There is a lot of shooting, then silence, then the voice again, calling: “One Finnish soldier can kill 100 Soviet soldiers!”.

    Enraged by this, the general sends 100 soldiers over the hill. Even more shooting, then silence. Then, the voice calls out again: “One Finnish soldier can kill 1000 Soviet soldiers!”.

    The general immediately sends 1000 soldiers over the hill. Lots and lots of shooting, then silence, and one mortally wounded soldier crawls back over the hill and crawls up to the general. With his last breath, he says: “Don’t send more men, it’s a trap. There’s two of them!”.

    Are you suggesting landlords pay for that out of pocket and that isn’t priced into the price of rent? That they take on those costs out of the goodness of their hearts? That they don’t turn a profit, after all is said and done? That that profit wouldn’t mean savings for people on a mortgage? Give me a break.

    Edit: I can’t read, apparently.
