I don't know if 'hope' can be grim, but hope was probably what kept them going when nothing else could.

Agree with Charlie about the relentless printing of money and its ultimate effect.

It was a devastating time, and I do fear a return of an even worse scenario. Here is to doing a 'rain dance'. Thank you for an educational look at the past-present and possible future.
