Socialism gets the same results every time- when will people ever learn?
The governing coalition is absurd. But that’s nothing new. Italian governments are always absurd. An equivalent of the US’s “deep state” keeps the country going, corruption and all.
But food lines?
What lunacy has spread through the Western world that makes millions of voters think socialism is something nice? Perhaps it’s caused by a virus manufactured by the Chinese Communists in their Wuhan lab.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was!
This might not have much to do with Socialism, but with actual food shortages. Germany is rationing crucial food stuffs, such as flour; only one bag per person.
We know the grain is not getting out of Ukraine. Putin pulled a fast one in that scam. Ukraine provides 40% of the wheat and other grains to Europe and Asia and Africa. No doubt they do not have the yield that they used to have, and of course, proxies for Putin bought a couple million metric tons when the ports were opened briefly, then bombed the grain elevator at the main port in Odessa and closed ports again. Grain goes into a lot of foods. There are dire predictions for Africa in the months ahead.
The US is going to come up short on the grain front without enough fertilizer. Farmers are leaving some fields fallow and many are not using enough fertilizer if they are using any. That is bad. Much of the corn is scheduled to be used in advancing Ethanol at a higher percentage. Bad to burn food and bad for engines. Point is that we are not going to have grain to give away like we used to. Maybe not any to sell off shore. India has shut down any exporting of their grains. Might be a good idea, better one to cut out the Ethanol.
By the way, it would be wise to stock up on some food and other necessary stuff. I heard today that there is a “feminine products” shortage…
Is this a war against women? Baby formula, tampons? What next? NSAIDs?
I cannot find a report that Germany is rationing flour, “one bag per person”. Please could you give us a link?
I heard it on a blurb during a Fox News brief a few days ago. Sorry. Maybe it is a rumor or maybe it didn’t merit anything besides a blurb. Do you think that Italy may be rationing in preparation for food shortages to come?
Capitalism has been called “the incredible bread machine”. Only capitalism produces plenty. Socialism ALWAYS entails shortages. Shortages here in the US are the result of the Left being in power.
I don’t know what’s going on in Italy that explains the bread lines. It is probably socialism. That means existing shortages, not just preparation for them.
The war in Ukraine will mean that millions in poor countries will starve.
I think there must have been a misunderstanding or a mistake in a report of shortages and rationing in Germany. In Greece it would be probable. But I very much doubt it is happening in Germany. Not yet, anyway.
Searched for this and found that the blurb combined rationing news:
Germany rationing gas makes sense. Not flour.
Greece rationing flour makes sense.
That Spain should have a cooking-oil shortage is as absurd as if Germany had a flour shortage!
Sunflower oil from Ukraine…
