During the Great Depression, when banks foreclosed on farms, neighbors often showed up at the auctions together.
They’d bid only a few cents, and return the land to the family that lost it. Sometimes a noose hung nearby as a warning to outsiders not to profit from someone else’s ruin.
It was rough, but it worked, communities protected each other when the system wouldn’t.
If a collapse like that happened today, do you think people would still stand together or has that kind of solidarity disappeared? Could it happen again?


For sure! I’m pro-abortion so I’m sure as heck pro-auction. The birth having already happened is just a minor detail.
Besides, if a kid’s parents don’t want them, I’m sure that man in the nice blackout van will give them a much better childhood.
Abortion is totally moral up to about 8 years of fetal development!
