I was thinking that very thing a few days ago and that we're the last who will ever remember freedom and the truly good old days.
Many of us are barely holding on by the skin of our teeth. Forget costs quadrupling, if it goes up mere percentages, it will be the end for many families. We'll be begging to flip burgers just to lick the griddle scrapings and have a warm place to work in for a few short hours. You can't tell me this wasn't all planned years ago by the evil doers in our government.
I think you are right. It is a mixed blessing, isn’t it...knowing the quality of life we have, losing it and then living with that knowledge of what once was.
Don’t know about you my FRiend, but I take comfort that there is a better life after this one.
