Could never happen here.
How can you hand out millions of ration cards when it is impossible to hand out voter ID cared?

It did happen here. I was a child during WWII and everyone had a ration book. I thought that was normal. My parents had gas ration tickets, tire ration tickers, sugar ration tickets, and I believe cooking oil ration tickets and mom had to turn in cooking oil after it was used, I think it went back to the grocery store. We had shoe ration tickets.
My mom canned and if one canned, one got to use more sugar ration tickets at a time. I remember sugar bags stacked on top of each other at the house and they had turned into bricks as in those days there was no central heat/air, so the sugar gathered moisture and turned into bricks - I can remember breaking up sugar by hitting the bag with sometime hard to help break it up. I think maybe coffee was rationed but not positive about that one. I do remember a cup of prepared coffee was five cents and when it went to ten cents, my dad had a fit.
I was young so I don’t remember where those ration books came from - where they got them.
