[quote=Anonymous]It is too early. Last weeks, my kids had a friend over for dinner. I was not home, and friend lives on our street. She is in the circle we are seeing. Another young adult stopped by. How did it happened? So, dd talked to this other young adult and the girl said, that she doesn't' even know if they are having anything for dinner. We live in 600-700K neighborhood. They have no money for food. So far people are able to hide it, there is a serious problem with people living in suburbs and being hungry right now. It will be clear very soon. 
Do you remember how the October Revolution started? Well, it was not a revolution at all. It was a coup. Mothers came to the Palace asking the Tsar for food. He ordered them shot, soldiers would not shoot(their own mothers, in some cases) and that is how the coup happened. Communists came a bit later in the vacuum created.
People are also oblivious. FIL told me that before covid economy was doing so well. I tried to tell him that many working poor can't afford to rent a place in many expensive states. He did not believe me, out of sight out of mind. But, it will not be out of sight much longer. Look at what GOP is doing right now. You will see the results soon on your own street now doubt. Who are immigration lawyers going to represent and earn money for their mansions? Who are doctors going to cure when people can't pay for it? All those that think they are safe, are not.[/quote]
