74. That generation understand that in wealthy countries nobody should
ever have to beg for help feeding their children. And many did during the depression. Even if you were lucky enough to have a job at the time...you knew people who suffered terribly. People who were willing to work at anything and couldn't find a way to keep their young families from starving.

That was quite a generation. They knew stuff about the world. And gave us the New Deal.
