Thanks To Capitalism, Grocery Shelves Keep Getting Restocked During Emergencies

This is likely a bit off topic, but I really wish kids now could have seen a Soviet bread line. The Soviet Union wasn't really socialist but it certainly wasn't capitalist, either. The kids might be singing a different tune about going full socialist if they saw what we saw in the 1980's. All they know now are the benefits of our limited forms of socialism and none of the drawbacks.

I have a tendency to chat people up when I go to a store, usually the checkout clerks and sometimes the guy stocking shelves. They've all told me the same thing: we get trucks in all the time, then people panic buy everything the next day. Sure enough, I went shopping before work today and all the soups, pasta, and rice that had been gone the evening before had magically reappeared. The supply chain will endure just fine.

My rant is probably off topic with the article you posted, which I obviously did not read before commenting. Please forgive me for that.

Not a rant but in tune with the article.

Comrade Bernie didn't/doesn't have a problem with empty shelves in Cuba, Venezuela & the old SU.
