canadians all know and about it
actually, Arnie toured one of the grocery stores I service for work a few months ago to promote trade with California which I thought was odd
he had a huge entourage and a group of people who went to check it out the day before and make sure it was "ready" for him
that sounds like Romania circa 1979 ... when mr Ceausescu used to come by and visit our city, a few days before all the food stores were miraculously stocked to the gills with merchandise ... so he can be fooled into how well the country was doing and bask in his accomplishments.
However during these days, these said food stores were closed to the public so you could not actually buy anything. it was like grocery blue balls.
The minute he left town, food dissapeared and was taken to another city for same purposes.
I shit you not ...
now you know why I am fucked up ... Communism was awesome!
