I recall when the MTA [Boston] raised their rates a quarter; to me it was the end of the world, b/c my budget was so tight. Eventually we found a bar in Cambridge that sold 10 cent beer [ it was warm - ugh!] and if we walked either to or from campus...we could survive. :)

Everything that survives, adapts. The poor *snowflakes* will crawl into a fetal position and just die.

They will melt, unless they are literally tossed into survival mode-then the ones that can adapt-and work-will survive. As for those that don’t, maybe mom and dad will let them live at home till hell freezes over-otherwise they will probably end up in a bad way...

As a kid from a small family ranch in a remote area of SW Texas, the city was like a vision of insanity to me-but living in a place where nothing convenient was close, we were taught early on to recognize and utilize whatever resources were available wherever we were to survive-and even be reasonably comfortable through our own work and ingenuity-my cub thought my husband-a ranch kid from New Mexico-and I were cruel and abusive when we insisted she learn to be self sufficient by taking her on camping/hunting trips to remote areas, sending her to a survival camp in the New Mexico mountains for a whole summer when she was 14-and insisting she work and pay for as much of her higher education as possible-oh, the cruelty!

Now he tells me all the time how grateful she is for her upbringing...
