>>You cannot make someone go back to work if they don’t want too.

In a FREE country, you can’t. Welcome to Soviet America, comrade!

“In a FREE country, you can’t. Welcome to Soviet America, comrade!”

***********

I visited Moscow in the old Soviet Union years — 1977. They were so proud that everyone had a job back then — old ladies, like well into their eighties, had jobs. They were sweeping the streets, literally. The poor old things looked exhausted.

Everyone had a house — yeah, a broken down apartment shared with another family. Cars were hard to come by and windshield wipers in short supply so when an owner left his car, he took the wipers with him to avoid theft.

Everything was govt. run — food stores, autos, you name it. Doctors were paid the same as cabbies — there’s some incentive, eh?

If you wanted green beans, you bought Soviet green beans — there were no CHOICES. Two car brands and govt. owned both. All the while communist party higher-ups shopped in special secret Kremlin stores, saw western trained doctors, etc.

I fear we are headed down this road — and I’ve never been so angry/upset over political issues in all my 60 years.
