Back in the USSR, forward into the past. Komrade Kamela is proposing price controls on groceries. The USSR had Five Year Plans. They failed, with the exception of vodka. Vodka dulls the pain and keeps the serfs too intoxicated to plan an overthrow.
They pretend to pay us and so we pretend to work. Free medical plans, free tuition and eventually a charity function like "A Taste of the Zoo" means eating the animals in the zoo.
What's for dinner? Roadkill is on the menu. Slab of Lab for dinner and Possum Helper will disappear from grocery shelves.
I had to give up fresh bats during the pandemic and canned bats soon disappeared from the shelves. From headlines to breadlines. Maduronomics will soon be Kamelanomics.
I took the photo in this essay during the pandemic. Feel free to use it, and if you print it, add a little ketchup. I have to leave for a little while to check the trap I set for the poodle next door.
Bon Appetite!

It is unfortunate that a majority of our population seems to have no idea of how awful conditions of wage and price control are.
I wish I could escape this hell, but there is no place to go. We were the last best hope, but if Kamala is elected that hope is pretty much erased. Then I have to drop back to "Texit", which is complex and may not be possible.

Price controls on wheat will lead to shortages and price increases.
Will we be giving up fossil-fueled farm equipment too? That will be special.

Perhaps we are fortunate that we live in a country where the people do not know first-hand the evils of wage and price controls;) Americans are ignorant in many ways, but many of us have common sense. People will react properly when Kamala and her Commie ideas are properly labeled.
