Wouldn't Life Be Easier If ?

Wouldn't everything be so much easier if all needs like food, gas, and other necessary items came at a set price everywhere in every state ? If all your house hold bills came on one bill and you had 5 days to pay it ? If we didn't have money everyone provided for those around us ? Of course we would need certain rules but couldn't life be less stressful?

Like Communism?

All set with that.

Not quite the government doesn't need to run it. You obviously only read the first line. I'm just saying if the things we need came to us cheap and everything else stays the same life would be a little easier. I'm not saying it could happen just a thought maybe you should use a little before you speak. All set with that lol ( your so high and mighty)

That's the antithesis of a free-market economy.

Does anybody know of a scanner that will scan objects well? I've got something that dbm may be interested in. It's a Soviet made AM/longwave (150-280 khz) radio from the 1970s. It has the price embossed right on the back plastic-29 rubles. Very basic and built like a tank at a time when US transistor radios (made in Asia) were flimsy and came with line after line of warnings on the back thanks to trial lawyers. No warnings on the Soviet radio-if you opened it up, tough.

No prices noted anywhere on the US radios though. Prices in the old days usually were by means of a sticker on the cellophane box wrapping in the US. That usually got tossed. Today, we have bar codes, which can be programmed to read anything they want them to. It's funny how many Americans think that they're price codes and not product codes. That's what 75 years of social democracy gets you, although we're not nearly as bad as say France.
