As I have posted before, Iranians can only purchase food with coupons, which are doled out by the government. To be eligible for coupons, they must sign in and participate in protests when told.
Each person is watched and graded on the enthusiasm with which they protest by their peers.
If they do not show enough vigor or don’t show up at all, they do not get coupons and therefore they and their families don’t eat.
Food sharing and black marketing is outlawed and punished with death.
Starvation sets a good example for people to protest with gusto.
Bkmrk.
Another concept the commie-dems would enact here if they could.
Bern or one of the other whack jobs will probably use that as a plank in their campaign platform.
