As the summer deepened, the weather became increasingly hot. Under the bright, glaring sun, a group of workers queued in front of a shop, ready to purchase essential supplies for living.
Everyone had received the 5 Rubles Coupons funded by the government, distributed by the Church of Wisdom. The citizens who received the subsidies flocked to the streets to shop, but what nobody expected was...
"One Ruble? One pound of black bread for one Ruble?!"
Exclamations of shock came from inside the bakery: "Why don't you just rob us?!"
"The price of flour has gone up; there's nothing I can do," the shop owner replied, equally agitated, "Are you buying or not? This is the price now!"
"Only a fool would buy bread for one Ruble!"
The man spat on the ground, his indignation boiling over as he stepped out of the bakery, pondering carefully under the scorching sun. He decided not to buy bread but to get some potatoes instead.
