I’ve always wondered what it would be like to live through the Great Depression and the Spanish Flu at the same time. With Andrew Johnson as president.

1. And Hoover as the Vice President.....and WW 2 on Horizon...

[Dennis Donovan]

2. You can add WW2 to the active list since they're *supposedly* enacting the Defense Production Act

Pandemic, Depression and a war footing.

3. This is one of the great analogies for this time......

6. Another recession. Repugs are dependable if nothing else.

7. But with Trump's incompetency and failings, it won't be a Recession that he and the GOP bring us, it

...will be a Depression.

We all need to be preparing for that reality and I think many of us here see it and are taking steps to be ready to the best of our ability.

I just started prepping my garden and expanding the size of it threefold. Getting chickens. Changing habits on many things including eating less and looking at the nutritional value of foods and planning ahead how to save money. I just emptied my storage I was paying $300 a month to save that money.

I am one of the lucky ones that I even have these choices and abilities.

I know so many people that quite literally have no paycheck coming, rent is due and they only have a weeks worth of groceries and less than $100 in their pockets.
