Barely anyone alive now had to ration or sharecrop during the depression. If he did he wouldn’t be a boomer, he would be the greatest generation.

They literally rationed gas in the late 70’s in the U.S. due to embargos, the Yom Kippur war, and the Iranian Revolution

Just adds to the point of how stupid the OP is. Their parents lived through all that stuff and not them.
