      My wife was born in ( but too late to remember) a former Soviet state.

      Talking with her grandma is pretty interesting. Recently with global inflation, some of the grandmas friends were speaking fondly about government controlled price of bread.

      Then my grandma (in law) who still has more of her marbles than any 91 year old I’ve ever met said “lol, yeah that was the price on the sign, but there was no bread in the store!”

      “Ooooohhhhh yyyeeaaaaahhhh…”
