Today my wife and I went to the local H.E.B. grocery store to purchase some things we needed. The shelves in the store were largely empty. There was a young couple shopping who were complaining about the empty shelves. Each of them was wearing a Bernie Sanders for President tee shirt.
I walked up to them and said, "Are you feeling the Bern?" They stared blankly. I then said, "Welcome to the Havana H.E.B." The continued to stare blankly at me so I continued, "This is what grocery store look like under socialist and communist regimes."
Had to go to 7 stores today just to find a pack of ground beef. Only meats left in most stores were of the fake meat variety.
No beans, no rice, no flour, no dairy, very little fruits or vegetables, no cleaning supplies - no dish soap, no laundry soap
Enough toilet paper. Went to the store today and the TP and paper products were empty except for everything high up on the shelves as backstock. Talked to an elderly guy that I know as a diehard democrat, he was pissed that there was no TP. I let him know call your congressmen and senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters and complain to them.
I don’t..and won’t.
Not quite communism yet. Lots of shelves are still full and the quality is still good. The empty shelves do hint at a future of socialism which is exactly the feeling I got the other day while trying to buy distilled water.
Kinda think you know that.......
Possibly, but it illustrates my point.
“...stare blankly ...”
That’s why it is impossible to educate them .... there is nothing going on behind that blank stare.
It's not possibly...I can!
This is terrific!
Airlines requesting 50 billion Bailout already. Guess that’s only fascism.
The casinos are also requesting bailouts.
It’s insane, haven’t seen panic like this before.
And the media ghoulishly stokes it.
Your cuban comment is not an exaggeration. It is also why I put on everyone of my posts for everyone to buy weapons and ammo.

Not in 15 states, more working on it. You had a point?
It’s true, some CC states have higher crime rates than full blown leftist states, but attrition over time will correct that....
I live in a CC/permitless carry state, but choose to keep a CCW license for the legal liberalization of carry it provides....
The Gun Control bills are still on the books as law.
That's my point.
Some folk look at firearms laws and loose their minds.
You’d think that the 4th means no searches or seizures too.
But, indeed, we can agree that most laws are well beyond the intent and wording of the Constitution, hence my strong distaste for the garbage called “case law”, and “precedent”. If it were valid, then DreadScott ought to be the law of the land, still.
Socialism is just a stepping stone toward communism...
