During the 1930's depression my great grandfather would stand in food lines with his Mom.

You had a great grand father who was a boy in 1930s ??? What are you 4?

Dandelions are one of the most nutritious greens out there we should all be so lucky.


What people think are weeds are actually better than the crap we can buy from the store, we're been socially neutered and brain-washed from the real truth.

That is why they created EBT cards so society would not see all the lines in this booming economy for the last two decades.

I'm 60 and my step-grandfather told me about his experiences in the 1930s as a grown man.

Matthew 10:34–36 describes Jesus telling the disciples that He came not to bring peace to the world, but a sword.

Back then large towns were not as large and they not only had chickens, plucked them them selves, but had outhouses too. My mom grew up in Madison Wisconsin.

You caj vote and discuss fiscal policy all day and night, but none of that will stop the endless greed and chomping bite of the stinkn j and his demonic familiars who worship the shek.

Also, in the 1930s around 95% of the US population were farmers. These days only 4% are farmers. Many people who survived the Great Depression did so by networking with their neighbors to barter their farm products. Then from 1930 to 1939 a catastrophic drought in the Midwest caused the famous dust bowl event which forced farmers to leave their homes and head toward greener pastures in California.

These days almost nobody knows how to grow food or keep chickens. A very small percentage of people have set aside a years supply of food. If there is an EMP or economic crash, both of which are highly possible, you had better hope you have made some kind of a plan. People are already acting ugly and violent, just imagine when they can't get food and drugs.

They had hoovervilles instead of tent cities.

Not to mention that the young generation has been brainwashed and has no spine. If they don't grow one fast, they will quickly end up on the other side of the dirt. And from what I've seen, no great loss if they do!

My dad was born in 1918. He was a young man during the hard times.

And moar Bullit capacity with Hugo Borchardt.

My grandmother told me during the war she used to go to the woods to collect Manna

She said it wasnt always there.She said it was like a dewy substance that tasted sweet

She said it doesnt happen now because of sin

Actual world population today 8,232,053,441

Half my grandparent's house was a tent, in downtown Los Angeles in the 1930s.




In 1933 the fireplace fell off the house because of a massive earthquake.

My grandmother, now passed, lived in a portable shack made of the wood that they would move up and down the river. It was basically one room, but had a roof. The floor was dirt. She showed me the foundation of the four corners it had been at in one location upon the river when I was a young girl.

My other grandparents fed and looked after their neighbor whose husband died leaving her with four small children ..they fed and clothed them and payed her bills and looked after her and her children till they were grown up.

My other grandfather would ask my grandmother to set the table for one extra person everyday...should someone come who needed a plate of food

I grew up thinking that is how adults behaved normally..as in helpíng eachother always

The next downturn will be caused by food shortages that are being engineered by governments across the globe today, instead of increasing production they are mandating reductions.

They hate us.

Now you can't get a residential building permit without a septic or sewage plan.

I think neighbors who own their homes, or own larger tracts of land, are more likely to help each other. There's a sense of permanence and community. People who rent in cities aren't really tied to anything.

One of my great grandfather's was injured lat in life and could not walk . He was paralyzed from the waist down . A city government official showed up one day and took the only real bed he had ever owned for a $1.38 cent tax bill .
The city workers the tax collector had with him to take the bed lifted my great grandfather out of his bed and placed him on the floor and packed his bed off .
It was a kinder gentler America?

Hardly . He passed away in a bed of straw on the floor . War veteran one time U.S Marshall .

All by design, Americans have been continually dumbed down since WW2.....we now have people so reliant on government it pathetic......unable to do even basic cooking or processing a chicken.....sad times indeed.

Thanks for sharing Rick. I think a lot of people will have to learn how to cook if that happens again. I found my mom's old food ration book from WWII. She was just a baby, but she said everyone got a book.

My mom would tell me how when my dad lost his job in the 60s, I guess they would get some coupon or whatever and go down to a big warehouse where they would give them the government cheese and other things.

Personally, I think the food warehouse idea is what should be done instead of food stamps. Really food stamps are just supporting all these very unhealthy food companies and Walmart.

I remember getting "government" cheese in the school system, back when they actually cooked your meal, and actually I really loved the taste of it, LOL.

Everyone alive today had an ancestor that at one point was skilled farmer, whether it was their own land or sharecropping.

Now it seems the young TikTok crowd think farming is as simple as building a chicken coup and buying a bag of feed - hey look at me while I do it for video. Aren't I great!?!

Well no....most of us come from people that - raised chicken, beef, hogs, slaughtered them, processed them and dried them in a smoke shack since most didn't have a fridge or freezer or if they were lucky enough they canned foods.

And while working the farm from before sunup no matter the weather, no matter the illness or injury, they had a shit ton of children all of which worked before school, after school, and then did home work by kerosene.

They then made everything they needed by hand, growing wheat, grinding wheat for bread, grinding cord for livestock food, then made the bread, made butter, made the clothes, knit the socks, nursed the babies. Hand fed the livestock that were rejected by the mother's.

And still found time each Sunday to worship.

And you have these idiots with millions of views - what I do in a day ony farm.

As they open a bag of feed they bought, turned on the automatic watering system, and so on.

Rick, You can't hold down a damn job. What you talking about?

Don't need one, faggo.
