Ah, yes; but:
Citizens can go to their local soviet official and ask for a pass to stand in line at the govt store for what they need - when available!!!

Bob - I know I’ve asked before - but can you remind me of the parasiticide that works for cancer? I probably have in some file or other but since I can’t remember name I can’t search for it.
Not for me, for someone else.

"Looting is a term that we typically use when people of color or urban dwellers are doing something. We tend not to use that term for other people when they do the exact same thing," said Boyd.

Nooooo, looting is a group of people stealing from stores. Has nothing to do with race.

But then, I'm not an idiot liberal.....

"The corruption of man is followed by the corruption of language. When simplicity of character and the sovereignty of ideas is broken up by the prevalence of secondary desires, the desire of riches, of pleasure, of power, and of praise, — and duplicity and falsehood take place of simplicity and truth, the power over nature as an interpreter of the will, is in a degree lost; new imagery ceases to be created, and old words are perverted to stand for things which are not; a paper currency is employed, when there is no bullion in the vaults. In due time, the fraud is manifest, and words lose all power to stimulate the understanding or the affections. Hundreds of writers may be found in every long-civilized nation, who for a short time believe, and make others believe, that they see and utter truths, who do not of themselves clothe one thought in its natural garment, but who feed unconsciously on the language created by the primary writers of the country, those, namely, who hold primarily on nature."

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature

Well, we don’t want to hurt the feelings of looters and the white liberal elites who prop them up and defend their ‘sensibilities’... That would be terrible. /s

“Corruption of language” indeed.
