Age of abundance my ass. It’s time for everyone to start grabbing a bottom feeding politician by the ‘nads and take them shopping with them.

Insects and Ramen noodles for all...

Probably insects, soy, and Mountain Dew(Brawndo).
You want testosterone numbers as low as possible.

Even public utilities require customers to pay for the utilities. Yes, there are subsidies, etc. but utilities don’t provide stuff for free.

Big Pharma should love it. Obesity is good business for them.

If some people get things they don’t pay for, other people pay for things they don’t get. No way around this fact.

Rice, beans, flour, gov’t cheese and margarine. A couple of stapled pages on how to cook these.

I think these idiots need to (1) speak to immigrants from communist and social countries that had/have similar state ownership, and (2) need to study some history. If they want state ownership of things, why don’t they move to countries that have this?

Wonder if they know this has been tried and failed every time.

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

If you are entitled to free food then you are entitled to someone else’s free labor to produce that food. This type of attitude always ends up with someone toiling in the fields at the wrong end of a gun. Always.

Free food for all? Absolutely. In this age of abundance, it should be a human right ["If some processing plants, distribution warehouses and retailers were owned by government"]

It'll be the most expensive "Free Food" that anyone has ever seen, and there will be NONE of it.

What could go wrong? Ask the Ukrainians of the early 30s about holodomor.

How do these idiots think this "Age of Abundance" happened? Do they ever stop to wonder why the Soviets didn't have their own "Age of Abundance"?

Food is "abundant" because people work for it. When people stop working for it and demand it for free, it stops being "abundant". Why do we need to keep explaining basic facts like this to socialists while they stare uncomprehendingly?

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.

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