It would be a lot cheaper, just like Medicare is a lot less expensive than private insurance, per the libs. They could set wages at whatever they want since the minimum wage level has no impact per the libs. And food is a human right, just like healthcare.

I know you're joking, but the satire is downright frightening.

Would it be managed and operate as efficiently as the DMV?

Just change the last line of the chorus to:
"I owe my soul to the government store".

Yeltsin was flabbergasted. There are literally bicycles available for sale on top of the refrigeration units!

Quote:

Yeltsin asked customers about what they were buying and how much it cost, later asking the store manager if one needed a special education to manage a store. In the Chronicle photos, you can see him marveling at the produce section, the fresh fish market, and the checkout counter. He looked especially excited about frozen pudding pops.

"Even the Politburo doesn't have this choice. Not even Mr. Gorbachev," he said.

The fact that stores like these were on nearly every street corner in America amazed him. They even offered free cheese samples. According to Asin, Yeltsin didn't leave empty-handed, as he was given a small bag of goodies to enjoy on his trip.

About a year after the Russian leader left office, a Yeltsin biographer later wrote that on the plane ride to Yeltsin's next destination, Miami, he was despondent. He couldn't stop thinking about the plentiful food at the grocery store and what his countrymen had to subsist on in Russia.

In Yeltsin's own autobiography, he wrote about the experience at Randall's, which shattered his view of communism, according to pundits. Two years later, he left the Communist Party and began making reforms to turn the economic tide in Russia. You can blame those frozen Jell-O Pudding pops.

"When I saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons and goods of every possible sort, for the first time I felt quite frankly sick with despair for the Soviet people," Yeltsin wrote. "That such a potentially super-rich country as ours has been brought to a state of such poverty! It is terrible to think of it."

I am all for it. One condition, these stores can only accept SNAP food benefit. and no other form of payment. All other stores will not be allowed to accept SNAP.

So private companies can't get any government money?

I'm game.

Food is a human right? Housing is a human right? What happened to finding your own and providing? This is the very basic issue with our society. Nothing is a right without effort. Nothing.

It will happen in CA first. They are looking at taking over the electrical grid. Their policies are designed to put private capitalist companies out of business or make it so difficult to do business that government can then claim that the private business is incompetent and presents a danger to the public good. The high-paying management jobs in the now gov-run company will be given to friends of the elite gov bureaucrats. Schiff is the perfect CA AG to do these things.

As we move further left and markets begin to feel the heat, the government has to step in bc the market can no longer provide market services bc of regulation. Doubling the minimum wage is yet another step to communism.
