Good morning America how are you?
I was thinking about bums, tramps hobos, A.K.A. today, homeless people and the Great Depression.
I'm one generation removed from it so I grew up hearing a lot of first hand stories of those days. Yes there were soup lines in NYC etc., -but mostly people just coped and carried on living and loving.
My dad, for example, not finding work in Ohio went out west and worked construction, mailing his laundry home to Ohio for his mother to wash and mail back -and also, of course mailing most of his paycheck. Said paycheck going far to support the family and keep two younger sisters in school.
If the very massive bubble busts today in our 'give me', rather than 'can do', society I wonder how things will go.....
