Agreed! We just need to embrace being more like Venezuela or the old Soviet Union as socialism creeps into our country.
Oh stop it. Going from 100,000 to 99,500 items is not Venezuela’s 50 store items.
No, we don’t need to become Venezuela, North Korea or the Soviet Union, but more self sufficiency (make your own pasta), less consumption of junk and processed foods and some weight loss would do many of us good.
