Just before the Soviet union collapsed , I remember seeing on Tv when they showed the empty stores and decayed factories the managers were always abusive , shouting old women, trying to tell the interviewer that everything was as it should be.

Remember the Mig fighter pilot who defected around that time and when he visited an American grocery store stated he thought our government staged the store for propaganda? He had never seen such an abundance. It wasn’t until he visited many different stores that he realized it was the norm and not staged for a photo op!

So... what I hear you saying is that, in the future, there will be ample job openings for me as a shouting angry old woman. Good to know the opportunities are not gone. ;)
