From taxes to spending, Kamala is the most left-wing major party candidate since George McGovern -- who proposed a Universal Basic Income in 1972 and went on to win a single state.
Price controls are obvious first step toward calorie controls.
If you can control the ability for the populace to feed itself, you control the population.
Energy is everything, and food is the fuel we use to power our bodies. We see climate controls being used to reduce power generation. We see regulatory bottlenecking and other forces used to reduce calorie generation.
Remember how in previous disasters the Farmers ended up vilified?
I lived in Krakow, Poland for a few months in the summer of 1989 during college. They had government run food stores, and it was shocking and much like you describe in this article. The stores were maybe a little bigger than our average convenience store, and were almost empty of food except for packaged snacks, equivalent to our Little Debbie’s and the like. Plenty of plastic crap, like picture hangers other random stuff. To get any real food, like fruit or vegetables, you’d have to go to one of the private market stands, which of course the average Pole didn’t have the money to afford. When a store did get meat, it was always pork cutlets or pork sausage, I would go with one of the guys I worked with to stand in line for 3 hours. These guys hardly worked because they were always out standing in line for something. I earned about $3/month at the official exchange rate for my ‘internship’, which was (I think, it’s been a while) 750 zloty to the dollar, while the black market exchange rate was 10,000 zloty to the dollar. My salary was a normal starting salary for someone just out of college. So everyone there was hustling and doing whatever they could to earn hard currency, mostly US dollars or Deutschmarks. To buy food. Not to buy bling. Anyway, a glimpse of this at 21 for a few months made me a solid fiscal conservative, and I can’t express how dangerous and infuriating I find the financial rhetoric of the current Democratic leadership. It sends chills down my spine.
By the way, the Polish people were amazing - super friendly, as I’ve found most people to be on my travels since.
What the globalists are doing has to be intentional. They knew tightening oil supplies would create inflation. And they know exactly how to create food shortages. This is intentional for sure.
They are not dumb, they have no plans to actually implement a real price control. The real goal is to signal to leftist voters that they will stick it to the ‘big corporations”. Also it is a good way to deflect the blame for inflation for people stupid enough to believe that
I have read, now we need to register our gardens with the USDA. More interest is being paid to YARD chickens, why! I spent about 20yrs.. farming, what ever you grow you earned that food could some form of restriction be on the way. Thxs Doc.

Price controls are always something government does to try and hide their hideous failures.
Been through all of it. From the 30’s to the current date. From free radio to exhortation by the Wi-Fi providers.
Brilliant, Misesian explanation...
To state it simply. You can’t sell things below what they cost to produce. If you are forced to, at a point, the products will no longer be produced.
More birth-pangs…
When “the waters break forth”, there's no turning back!
Luke 21:28 KJV
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
There is a typo: Venezuela, not Venezuala
