I meant people had difficult times back then, probably on average worse than today.

And, yes, I know our dollar is crap - but it's still not as bad as some other currencies, and yes I know about inflation and such...., I was talking about the aforementioned.

I know droughts happen today, but due to improved methods of farming it doesn't effect some people as much. No need to jump down my throat, calm down.
