Born right INTO the Depression ... 1928 ! Walked a mile and back to buy a relative of the owner of a small farm next door a pack of Luckies !$.17 meaning the change from a quarter, even a penny could buy a pack of 20 firecrackers, all the way from China, if he chose to 'reward me'.

WHAT has this got to do with the thread ? You must realize that farmer, with milking cows, etc. HAD to work in a town store WITH his wife to make ends meet, even though they had NO CHILDREN ! That Depression IS coming back in SPADES, and this time almost NO ONE in the country has a GOOD sized garden, OR knows anything about planting, harvesting, PRESERVING any left overs. And tools, seeds, etc?

Everyone hunted small and large game for the table, and about 25% had chickens for eggs, baking, etc. NOW those large tracts of land owned by the wealthy city people is all built up. ONLY about 60 acres of old farm land is left, BECAUSE where I live now is where the farms USED to be, and we called them Hicks, if they weren't too big.

Even IF we escape CMES/flares that knock out all electrical lines, gadgets, cars, banks, food delivery; their IS no WWIII, Obammy Care, there will ALWAYS be the parasitic Lawyers, banisters and politicians who produce NOTHING and live OFF of YOUR work/efforts by fines, fees, licenses, through 17,000,000 laws, rules, regulations and statutes, 99% of you have never even heard of either. AND, the currency is/WILL become worthless very soon ! Police state already in position, illegal alien fraud in control and bypassing CONgress with E.O.s !

Have only one working farm and tractor in 12 miles; next city and owned by a distant relative who is worried about dying, and NOTHING that is actually happening !

Enough. Stay in the cities and fight amongst yourselves over food shortages; don't come to the country, as we will fight for our right to live, food and family !
