I really wonder how 2020 compares to 1941 or the great depression years??
1941 was great except for the last month.
I'll take 1941. Yes, we had a Democrat president and California had a left-wing Democrat governor, but he was Peter Pan compared to the fascist tyrant who sits in the statehouse today. And the music in 1941 was far, far better.
I lived through both and believe me, 2020 has been a breeze. We're the most spoiled bunch of navel-gazing wusses in history. Even my memories of WWII, smallpox, polio and "root-hog-or-die" Depression years were nothing compared to the Black Death, the depredations of Genghis Khan, the plight of Neanderthals who somehow survived the last Ice Age and so on and on. We should be thankful that we got off easy this time.

................
From a kid’s perspective, those years were nothing compared to 2020.
Lot of rationing, food, gas, building materials, fake butter we did not get new clothes or new cars or new anything. Used parts to fix your own cars.Bomb shelters and practices under desks for bombs and air raids.
I could go on and on, but we were free, we had leadership that cared like Trump does. We had very low crime because people in trouble had neighbors to help. The bums riding the rails looking for work could always get a meal at our house.
We loved our Country and trusted our doctors, although we did not like some of the leadership.
We had hope. We had a surety we would do better some day.
Just a few thoughts.
