yaaay finally the US can experience famine and starvation as well! π
Finally? Did we forget the great depression and the dust bowl?
Not classified as a famine
Of course it wasn't. The land of plenty could never suffer from a famine.
Listening to experts because they probably have good reasons for their classification π ββοΈ
Rejecting expert opinions because of my political "America bad" attitude β β β
Really? Why did they allow those private farms at all then? My understanding was that the farms that were collectivized only produced enough for themselves to eat, so they went back a little and said "okay, you can have SOME capitalism until we get it figured out". How they figured it out was quotas, and hey, on paper it looks good. You just have to tell Stalin a good number. Somehow the store room's still empty.
