My folks risked their lives defecting from the USSR to escape state owned and run grocery stores.

I can't see it either, I just remember it happening and Googled for a link.

If there's one thing in life I avoid like the plague it's subscriptions. They keep sneaking the price up and up hoping you don't notice and if you go to cancel it's next to impossible. Any site that wants a subscription gets no clicks from me.
