our parents or maybe our grandparents knew how to keep a pair of shoes in shape and they passed down clothes from one kid to another, to a cousin or neighbor.. gosh, we never threw a used pair of good shoelaces out....we saved them!.
it'll be challenging to become an impoverished nation but it might make us better people....maybe for fun instead of jetting off to Disney World or Hawaii, we'll get back to playing pinochle or making puzzles together at the kitchen table...
My Mom still has a stash of bread bags, Tin cans, paper bags, rubber bands....
