It will be worse because, unlike during the depression, most people cannot live off the land. Although there were many that lived in the cities in the 1930s, we still had a substantial number of Americans that had farming and other survival skills.

It will therefore also be shorter and bloodier than the Great Depression.
That has been my thought as well. Most urban people have no clue about gardening, much less farming.
OTH, if the government collapses with the economy, the urban populations might suffer a great loss of life in the ensuing violence that is sure to occur when the ebt cards stop working and there is no food on the shelves anyway.
