“The Terrifying Reality” op-ed in the El Universal
excerpt:
Seeing empty supermarkets and grocery stores, comrade, and getting an “out of stock” as usual reply when asking for essential goods cause nostalgia, anxiety, despair, and frustration among the citizens.
The same negative reply is heard in grocery stores, fruit shops, butcher’s shops, pharmacies, spare parts stores, tire shops, hardware stores, dry cleaners, bakeries, book stores, appliance stores, clothing and footwear stores, electronics stores, and any other stores where mass consumption products are sold. The “we do not have it” reply is also common in medical and dental practices, public and private hospitals, which are currently hit by lack of equipment, supplies, and specialized staff to properly take care of patients.
And this is exactly how socialism and central planning "works"...
But it will be different in America. Too bad the majority of Americans know nothing of socialism, except what is fed to them through government schools and the media.
