The socialist government of Spain has introduced new laws allowing for the supermarkets to ration food and other items as a part of its “Response Plan” to the economic fallout from the war in Ukraine.
Amid soaring inflation, which hit nearly 10 per cent in March, the Spanish government, controlled by the leftist Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has opened up a legal loophole for supermarkets to begin rationing to customers.

The war in Ukraine is the latest excuse for restricting the peoples’ liberties. There will be others from time to time.

This is a little confusing, why would a private business need government permission to restrict quantities they sell to customers. I saw some business restrict toilet paper and cleaning products to “one per customer” back in the spring of 2019.
Even before that, often at Christmas, stores could restrict sales of the latest toy, video game system, etc.. to keep customers from buying them out and reselling them.

Spain is run by the Socialist party. “Socialist” is the nice word for communism.

Soon people around the world will be eating whatever they can find. If you don’t have much of a conscience, you can get rich buying rice, soybean, wheat and other grain futures. Investments in Scandanavian fish canneries is not a bad investment either.

I should not be surprised that a European government prohibited common sense.

why would a private business need government permission to restrict quantities they sell to customers? Laws in European countries are quite different than in America, and private business operate with different limitations on how they conduct their operations.

Nothing quite says “socialism” like the start of food rationing.

Just got back from a trip to the grocery store. Prices are getting absolutely crazy, and this is a low end store.

The global commies are so mad at russia that they’re going to turn the world’s shelves into a soviet era store. That’ll show ‘em!
