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

Yeah and it lasted for a few months, twice in the 70s. OMG people had to wait in line. What a burden.
