re: #211 Decatur Deb

The Americans who weathered and tolerated the Depression are gone. Our coming-of-age group is vastly different—much larger, city-based, heavily armed, entertainment-dependent, and with sever fractures of group identity. We are not qualified to tough out hunger for ten years.

Honestly, the Post WWII generations would simply die in job lots in those sorts of conditions. But why ask the question? I don’t see a depression that bad as likely.
