Arizona Considers Selling Capitol Buildings
Things are so bad in Arizona that legislators are considering selling the House and Senate buildings where they've met and worked for more than 50 years. Dozens of other state properties may also be sold. The plan is to sell the properties and then lease them back over several years before assuming ownership again. "We've mortgaged the legislative halls," said an exasperated state Rep. Steve Yarbrough, a Chandler Republican. "That just tells you how extraordinary the times are. To me, it's something we're going to have to do no matter how much we find it undesirable." I bet they could get a great price on the Grand Canyon.
Is this like monopoly? I tend to lose not long after I have to start mortgaging my properties to the bank.
The way to win monopoly is to gobble things up early, even mortgaging if you have to. Then later in the game everything is yours and people can't make a move anymore without paying you huge amounts of money. Makes the game very frustrating ... but not for you.
Someone appears to have mistaken the "-1 troll" moderation for the "-1 disagrees with me about taxes" or "-1 ignorant of the matter at hand."
While I think his post was maybe... dumb... it doesn't seem like trolling to me.
