Will We See The Same During This Depression

Update: Gramps has an excellent depression story at his place that is a fun read.

This has been on my mind for awhile and I'm going to try to pound this out before I go to work.

During the Depression years back in the cornfield both of my grandparents helped others by taking individuals into their houses. One lived with and worked on the farm and got paid a small amount from planting season till the harvest was over. Stayed there during the winter and continued to work for a roof over his head. Another did the same living with the family and working at my other grandfather's business of course eventually moving to his own place but continued at that job until he retired. He was part of that family forever.

Another friend's grandparents did the same thing. Recently a cousin told me his grandfather who farmed south of town made small cubicles in the barn and relatives from Chicago came lived and worked on his farm during these times.

So since I'm in a hurry-simply as more people are losing their houses and incomes being forced out into the streets and with no end in sight of the bad shit will there be the same generosity shown during these times as there was back then. Also I'm curious if you have stories similar to these in your families history.

My brothers and I were sometimes picky eaters and Mom was always telling us and threatening about how she was going to feed us some of the stuff they ate during the depression. On a couple of occasions she did. One thing she made was chicken feet-yea chicken feet. Truthfully they weren't all that bad which brings us to the these sweet old lady who is the 'Depression Cook". But keep that damn liver and those beets away from me!!
