To: I want the USA back

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP of business, I.E., communism.


https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/776g44/how_well_stocked_were_soviet_grocery_stores/

the Soviet customer had stand in one line and, at the end, meet a salesclerk and tell them what they want. After picking some things out, they receive a receipt (but no merchandise) and go to another line in front of a cashier to pay for their items. Then they finally go to a third line and get a package filled with their products.

It may not be a food desert, but a variation of the soviet style. At least we may not have to stand in line but can do it over the internet?

The Soviet system had a couple purposes. Make work jobs, make the average citizen waste of hours of his free time (you can bet the stores for the elites weren’t like that), and humiliate the customer.
