I have never experienced this phenomenon but I sat with my older relatives and listened to their stories of this era. We have much to be thankful for and this time around is going to be worse, people don’t know how to cook let alone garden or trap, shoot animals for food.God help us and have Mercy.

People standing in orderly lines for food? Not in 2020 America.
God help the ones that think that because we prepared that we need to share with them. I don’t mind helping but I’ll give to the Church. Don’t start giving handouts or they’ll never go away
I whole hardheartedly agree. Those that sensed a disturbance in the Force knew hard as hell times were approaching, and even tried to convince others. We were meet with derision and ridicule and name calling. Family and friends and acquaintances all and are going to become dangerous.
My parents were Depression Era folks, and I listened intently to their stories. I learned basic gardening from my uncles, and helped my Mom can and preserve food.
As in all aspects of life, equality of opportunity vs equality of outcome. I am out of debt, have food, water stored and the means to protect it, plus stores of replacement currency. I haven’t had new cars, fancy clothing or expensive vacations. I know many who have lived extravagantly, beyond their means and feel no obligation to care for them in their foolishness.
Sooooo, glasshoppah, you wish to eat my food?
Yoooooooou’ll have to eat my lead first!
My parents were both born in 1920. Mom told stories of taking an onion sandwich for school lunch because there was nothing else to eat. Dad hated any kind of orange winter squash because that was all they had to eat for days. Both sets of my grandparents had massive gardens, as did we when I was a kid. I helped my mother with canning tomatoes and beans from our garden. When I would sometimes complain about having only soup for dinner, my mother would fix me with that stare, you know the one, and tell me that “you have never been really hungry, I have been. If we ever get to the point when you only get to eat once a day, if that, because that’s all there is to eat, you’ll know what real hunger is.”
Bernie Sanders said it in 2016:
“It’s funny, sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is, that people are lining up for food. That is a good thing!”
