Just look at all that pent up demand!
Reminds me of the old Soviet GUM (Government Store) in Moscow.
Like pretty much everything else in Russia, it was huge. A vast floor space.
Thanks to Central Planning, one month there would be nothing but boots and shovels as far as the eye could see.
The next month, there would be nothing but raincoats and umbrellas, as far as the eye could see.
Post Soviet, the GUM was partitioned into a shopping mall. You will find a lot of American stores, JC Penney, The Gap, Sears, and many others. You will also find a lot of European store chains. And then, there is the staple of every mall, the food court. The variety is endless, and the government pretty much stays out of it.
Just look at all that pent up demand!
