like there was nothing in the shops

or to

What

Lmao really?

buy something you'de have to have cards

like not only money but

every citizen got like a fixed amount of something per year

this and this amount of meat this and this amount of that and that etc

*could get

this is some yang gang shit

but these cards were only there for a period of time

free vbux

sometimes there were like shortages of basic things even

like you'd have to stay in queues for hours for toilet paper

but these too were periodical really

really looks like what venezuela looks right now

but mostly yeah if you wanted to buy something not very basic you'd have to wait a lot

but they don't have these cards

wasnt the black market big back then

it had to be

everyone got their job too

there was no unemployment : )

everyone was employed : )

>wasnt the black market big back then
yeah

the biggest thing were foreign currencies like dollars

if you had these you could actually buy things

but well no one had them of course

almost

*employed, but still can’t acquire toilet paper*

yeah this happens when you think you can manually steer the whole economy

like they would set the exact amounts of things produced

wanst driven by demand, it was just set

TOILET PAPER QUOTA

sounds autistic tbh
