Just one big MF'ing change.

I was terrified on this day. Lost my job three months later. Just the cycle of business.

1. I don't know anyone who went through the Depression who would
agree with you.

What we went through in 1987 and afterwards was not comparable.

2. My parents made it through the depression.
My mother who is not long for this world told me on the phone this morning that you do what you have to do to survive. She did, her parents did, my father did.

No use getting freaked out about it. Prepare yourself and do what you need to do to survive.

4. Yeah, and most of us lived through WW2 also. Does that mean we shouldn't
avoid another one?
