You really need to talk to some ppl who lived through the Great Depression. My Mom (had) and my Dad (does) have some interesting things to say. People today would not have survived it, I don’t think.
My parents lived through it too. My eighty-eighty year old mother-in-law did as well. Her second child was born on Dec. 7, 1941. Her late husband survived that and Iwo Jima as well. That was then. This is now. You’d better hope and pray to God America never sees anything like that again. This is not the same nation it was seventy-five years ago. This country would never survive another “Great Depression’’.
