Socialists crave shortages that give them power through rationing. If something exists in abundance so great they cannot imagine it away, they try to either limit production or inhibit its use.

This is because *anything* desirable, in abundance, is an alternative currency that takes power away from those who want to ration.

In old East Germany, they tried so hard to create shortages in everything that even color and music were reserved to “honor the state”. The only paint people could buy was black, white and gray. And weirdly enough, a lot of American leftists still pine for “the good old days” of East Germany.

To Hell with them. Enjoy abundance and trade it with others.

The socialists I’ll not be happy until they control every aspect of YOUR life (but not their own). This info explains much about Pew’s leftist bias. They’re just another part of the Left propaganda machine:
