Monthly ration in Poland, early 1980s
(lemmy.world)
Was this meant to be supplemented?
Oh, she looks so happy!
If you could even get all that, and if you could you had to queue for days
That's not enough butter. I would have been put down young for rioting about criminally low amounts of butter.
This thread is basically:
Scarcity in socialist countries 40 years ago: pearl clutching.
Scarcity in capitalist countries fucking now: yawn.
Bruh, you can buy more flour than that with change dropped in a fucking parking lot.
Good so we got flour figured out. How many homeless people did Poland have in the 1980s? How many does it have now?

If you still gained a salary from work and could buy the rest of what you need this really isn't that bad
I don't think you got this for free, it was probably just the maximum you could buy of any of these items in a month. That's how war time rationing worked in the UK.
