Time for another revolution, amigos?
I guess Bernie would shut down 22 of every 23 factories and put the workers on welfare in the name of.... something or another
this has been going on for a while
I think they have made it illegal to take such pictures now
You’re optimistic.
Where are you getting these photos from? I’d appreciate a link to more of the same or similar if you have one. There are certain people I know who might get a bit of an education seeing such....
Eat your socialism. You wanted a free lunch, and so now you must have misery and suffering. You bought that crap the liars always sell. Now you are hungry and you deserve it.
This is always the result when socialism is tried. Always.
This could never happen in the US. (sarc)
Yet another socialist “transformation”. Watch out...this could be your neighborhood.
Oh really...maybe why I only could find the two for this food truck ordeal and one from last year....there are others of food lines throughout the net though.
