Who is going to grow it, harvest it and process it if no one is working?

Venezuela here we come.

Been warning for years that Venezuela was a PTB laboratory (and aren’t we all rats) to see just how far down the rabbit hole they could go to deprive people of their liberty and property.

This is the stuff Ayn Rand used to write about—you can have “free food” for everyone if part of society is deemed the slaves who work and part of society is deemed the rulers who get the fruits of the slave labor.

The day we starve is the day when food is considered as basic a right as health care.

Chloe Sorvino: She grew up gardening in New Jersey. She studied journalism and international economics at George Washington University, but spent most of her time learning as a news editor at the independent student newspaper, The Hatchet. She resides in Lower Manhattan with her husband Nick and their composting worms.

"Why do we need to keep explaining basic facts like
this to socialists while they stare uncomprehendingly?

.

Because leftists believe that by denying reality they can change that reality.

They would rather die than give up this belief.

But this denial formula only works very, very rarely - Like: 'Never'.

Ignorant comment.
Nothing, nothing is FREE. Even the air you breathe costs you time, effort and energy.
FREE only means someone else is paying for it.

If everything were free, then there would be no need for a government.

An entity, the gubmint, that is $31 trillion in the hole, wants to buy food and distribute it for free.

This will collapse the food market as the power of the gubmint to undercut any company is practically unlimited.

We should point to Cuba, North Korea, the former Soviet Union, Venezuela, etc to show the sheer foolishness of letting the gubmint run anything.

“Quickest route to starvation is let the gubmint control any part of the food supply.”

Yessir! Population control!
