Central planning will solve this problem.

This is hurting right in the pocket book.

Less potatoes, less vodka, less money for his “retirement” fund.

One of President Reagan’s classic Russian jokes:

A Russian police man knocks on the door of a house and a boy answers.

“Where is your father?”, the policeman asks.

“He isn’t home.”, the boy answers.

“When will he be back?”

“He will be back in 1 month, 17 days and 9 hours.”

Amazed at the answer, the policeman asks, “How do you know that?”

“My father is a cosmonaut and he’s in space.”, the boy replied.

“Wow…so is your mother home?”

“No, she isn’t.”

“When will she be back?”

“Who knows. She went to the store to buy bread!”

No cane sugar from ally
Cuba, to make up for the lack of beet sugar. The Cubans can no longer produce sugar like they used to.

Three men are on the prison train headed to the Siberian gulag and get to chatting.

The first man says, “I arrived ten minutes late to work, so the secret police accused me of slowing down productivity.”

The second man says “I arrived ten minutes early to work, so the secret police accused me of plotting a sabotage.”

The third man says “I got to work right on time, so they accused me of having a western watch.”

Another Reagan classic:

An American dog, a Polish dog and a Russian dog are sitting together and talking.

The American dog says “In my country if you bark long enough, you will be heard and given some meat”.

The Polish dog replies “What is ‘meat’?”

The Russian dog replies “What is ‘bark’?”

What’s taters Precious?

Your thread is a potato! Po-ta-toes! Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew.
Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish.

Does Russia or Venezuela even have the money to give them oil or gasoline in exchange for their sugar, if they had any to export?
