“Various estimates suggest the government already controls about half of the country’s food distribution, but that hasn’t stopped record shortages in shops and markets.”
What a great line. Half ownership hasn’t stopped shortages, but 100% ownership will? The writer seems surprised that government control somehow doesn’t improve the situation. It must be those outside agitators.
The problem is not Socialism, the problem is too many people for the socialist system to provide for.
They had the same problems in the Soviet Union under Lenin and Stalin.
The solution is obvious and it’s the same one employed by Lenin and Stalin, simply reduce the number of people you need to feed..
Even worse than Zimbabwe?
Now THAT'S a socialist accomplishment.
You suck so bad at economics that a Marxist dictator runs his country better than you do.
The problem with it is when they own and operate everything, all the workers are government employees. The state pretends to pay them, and they pretend to work.
Fox Butterfield, is that you?
