Not just Beer, pretty much everything.

The East German Trabant was a good example. It was a 2-stroke 3 cylinder engine. Mixed Gas & Oil like your LawnBoy mower. The body wasn’t metal, but a form of compressed wool and cardboard. Total POS.

It gets better. You couldn’t just go out and buy one, crappy as it was. No Sir. You had to get on The List, for permission. It took a while. Such a “while”, it was traditional to sign up a baby when born.

So one Fine Day, the word came down - “You Can Buy This POS Comrade!”

Payment was due in full (or immediately lose your spot in line) so it was also traditional to borrow from family members.

A Russian ordered a Trabant and the official said it would 9 years to the day when it would be ready for pick up.

The Russian asked, “Morning or afternoon”?

The official replied, “9 years from now what does it matter”?

Russian, “because the plumber is coming in the morning”.

Ronald Reagan joke.

There will be no beer in AOC’s green “paradise”.

Why?

Because those little bubbles in beer are CO2, the EVIL gas. Since making beer involves making CO2, breweries are EVIL!

THEREFORE, drinking of beer is forbidden in AOC’s “paradise”...

The one and only time I saw a Trabant was at a car show in The Bronx. The owner got it through customs on the condition that it NEVER be registered and licensed, Even though other imported cars over 25 yrs old are exempt from safety and emissions regs Trabants are such dangerous sh*tboxes that no state would allow it to be legally driven, even as an antique. The wonders of socialism. Jay Leno has a Soviet built limo,used by a high ranking Russian officials in his collection from The 1980’s. The engine is a knockoff of the 312 cu in Ford V8 used in the first T Birds in 1955. A good engine, but shows how technologically “advanced” the socialists really are.
