Folks today would think that the world had come to an end if they had to live the way an average American with a job lived in the 1930's. Hell, our "poor" folks today have multiple bedroom homes or apartments, indoor plumbing, central air and heating, flat screen tv's, cable, internet, cell phones, food stamps, school meals, etc. all courtesy of public welfare. Only in America are desperately poor people fat. Take away the goodies and there will be blood in the streets. The best survival strategy is to live a good distance away from the major metro areas.
