I used to ask an old man I worked with what some things were like during the depression. I knew there were soup lines and I jokingly asked him if he ate possum during that time. He said s$&t, it would have been nice to have a possum to eat. There were no squirrels, rabbits, or possums because people had to kill what they ate if they wanted meat. I’m sure the deer population took a big hit as well, but I can’t speak to that.
To compare the Great Depression and a failed republican bill to add tariffs to Trump’s tariffs of today isn’t even comparable.
