Welcome to Socialism
Interesting Exchange at the Grocery Store | March 16, 2020 | Michael T. Archangel

Posted on 03/16/2020 4:50:46 PM PDT by MIchaelTArchangel

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."

With no knowledge of history, they probably thought he was a nut case.

So then the young semi-indigents socialists held out there hands and demanded that he give them all the TP and isopropyl alcohol they wanted.... Plus money to buy a classy latte from the local bodega to boot. Then they asked if the couple wanted to have gratuitous sex just for giggles and Baal worship.....

Good for you, speaking truth to the indoctrinated may wake a few up before it’s too late.

"This is what grocery store look like under socialist and communist regimes."

If a Cuban actually said those words in a Havana market, he could be put in jail within minutes. Not an exaggeration.

They won’t get it.
Especially since Trump is the President right now.
I guarantee, that they believe it’s all because of Trump.

I think Sanders is closer to a hard core Communist.

It does not look like all over the country when there is a regional storm or hurricane. Geez. This is unusual to have shelves emptying across the country.

Yup. Seeing some posts from certain acquaintances, they are full tilt boggie blaming PDJT for inventing the virus. Truly some sick entities. But we like to point and laugh at them.

Though your point is well taken, the Bernistas could accurately reply that “this” was manifestly what grocery stores looked like under a capitalist regime?
