I know I’m grasping at straws looking for reasons to welcome a new government – right now it looks hopeless to be happy about the fascist laws that are being enacted.  

So I think about butter.  The previous government opened the dairy market up to free enterprise, the prices went way up as high-price imports flooded the shops here, and now no local butter is to be seen.  

In the old days of socialism we used margarine and were happy,  I’d gladly go back to margarine to get rid of all these capitalists.

And don’t get me started on those extremists in power now who are making life impossible, recommending that doctors not treat people they find objectionable.  It was Rambam who enumerated the ethics of medical obligation.  

I can’t even begin to describe my disgust and humiliation.
