Belarus President Lukashenko: "From October 6, all price increases are forbidden. Forbidden!"

This should work out well

Indeed, because price freezes NEVER EVER cause scarcity.
The black market peeps will love it though.

Hmm, but GLP tells me Lukashenko and Putin are the kind of no BS geniuses they want running the world

is there really even a war in Ukraine? someone needs to go in person and see

same as in movie

deep impact

Why rapid prices increases are even possible?

Buy one of these.

So, assume, you are a farmer a food manufacturer, a grocery and all your costs rise....what are you going to do? You stop growing, manufacturing or selling food because you are not a charity and you are not filthy rich. How the heck does this idiot president think this will end up?

Either he and his economic advisors are idiots or he has the same goal as Biden, the NWO, etc. To cause famine, disease and death.

I fear this is only the first of many more to come, stock up now food shortages are coming and only the rich will be able to eat whatever they want.

thats some real power right there

a president controlling the cost of EVERYTHING

I love how Putin and Lukashenko continue to push the limits of their Western supporters' cognitive dissonance.

This is a Russian ally. This is in anticipation of increased hostilities...

[sarc on/] How could costs rise if all price increases are forbidden? The fuel refineries could not increase the price of fuel, the fertilizer producers cannot increase the price of fertilizer, and the Belarus tractor factory cannot increase the price of tractors, parts, and implements. [/sarc off]

part of war preparation

Oh THAT always works, everywhere it's ever been tried 🙄

It will end the same way most socialist systems end. At the point of a gun. The government will try to force them to produce at a loss and then the government will just take everything from them and nationalize their business.

You obviously live in some fantasy world where everyone is honest and nice. How do you know at what price 1kg of potato is profitable for farmer to sell? Maybe they make a comfortable profit even now when there are increases of operational costs like fuel, but because of the greediness factor they will use the hype and increase the prices. That's a common practice across all industries, why they increase the price? Mostly because they can, not because then need.

He is just telling his people, that people in business cannot exploit the situation.

In west prices for anything that people need has gone through the roof, with price gauging.

Good for this leader, he tells people that prices are not going up on things they need to buy.

The pro-Russian nonsense is losing steam even here on GLP. Putin’s playing without a full deck even though most people here still think he’s playing 3D chess

Hahahahahahaha

the story of the world reads like an Ayn Rand novel

Government price controls worked so well for the economy of the Soviet Union.

Can’t work, won’t work, never works. Just leads to even greater scarcity. Who’s going to sell a product that breaks even or loses money? Nobody, and that’s how businesses go bankrupt and your inflation overnight turns into deflation as the economy free falls at breakneck speed

Exactly what you don't understand??

He is not locking the price of bread leaving all other prices to rise so the baker goes bankrupt

He is blocking all prices.

All large expenses will not escape so manufacturing prices are contained.

Isnt the first time something like that happend .

Look to the EU countries who did that at the launch bof the euros versus those who did not contained speculation.

Nixon froze prices on retail items back in 1973 to combat inflation. Back then mortgage rates were 8 to 10%.

enforcement is going to be unpleasant for sure
