Just look at all that pent up demand!

Honestly I’m not clear on whether this article is satire or not.
Regardless I will quote my favorite saying on the topic: “Socialism is like a nude beach - it seems like a great idea until you actually get there.”
I think the ridicule is strong in this one.
Venezuela and North Korea must be the most 'American' places on earth, according to this guy.
As far as anyone can figure, this old fool’s economic “plan” consists of people having fewer choices of deodorant and athletic footwear.
By Sanders way of “thinking”, you don’t need 23 brands of under-are deodorants.
By Sanders way of “thinking” neither do you need 20 brands of automobiles, or 15 brands of TV sets, 20 brands of microwaves, 155 brands of clothing, 30 brands of watches, 10 brands of gasoline, 13 brands of canned soup, veggies, pickles, soda, or ???? brands of various wines.
Sander’s way of “thinking” means you have you the right to buy the ONE brand of anything the Department of Whatever dictates is the one worthy of producing.
If I remember rightly, there was a political/economic systen that tried that exact thing. Didn’t make out too well, did it?
I can’t tell where the Sanders quote ends and the commentary begins.
You need choice and a profit motive to keep the economy going and bread on shelves! Keep government coercion out of it!

Private profit is public good.
Certainly if Bernie’s plan comes true,
why have political parties, one will do...
Once you get to the part where ultra-lefty multi-millionaires Ben and Jerry are nudged out of the ice cream business (an unnecessary luxury at best), it should be pretty clear that he’s laughing at Bernie’s socialist utopia.
I wonder how many choices of deodorant and sneakers Cuban citizens have to choose from.
Just name one country in any time frame and he will get my vote...
Well, not really...
Reminds me of the old Soviet GUM (Government Store) in Moscow.
Like pretty much everything else in Russia, it was huge. A vast floor space.
Thanks to Central Planning, one month there would be nothing but boots and shovels as far as the eye could see.
The next month, there would be nothing but raincoats and umbrellas, as far as the eye could see.
Post Soviet, the GUM was partitioned into a shopping mall. You will find a lot of American stores, JC Penney, The Gap, Sears, and many others. You will also find a lot of European store chains. And then, there is the staple of every mall, the food court. The variety is endless, and the government pretty much stays out of it.
So if you've developed a revolutionary new product, in Bernie Sander's Amerika, you would have to appear before the Department of New Products and get permission to produce and sell your new product to the public. In your presentation, you would have to provide proof that less children will go hungry as a result of the introduction of your new product.
You kidding? He huffs them!
Just look at all that pent up demand!
You have to wonder how close to the edge he really is. How could he possibly think destroying the economy of the U.S. would be good for the downtrodden? Yet I know people who worship him....
The struggle for climate change continues.....
This so-called “serious candidate” was put in to make Hilliary look rational(sane)by comparison. The party of Alinsky/hollywood are masters at deceit/manipulation, especially to young minds of mush.
