Because if you think desperate people with starving children and senior parents are going to sit back and wait you are dreaming. Expect things to start going missing in a big way. I sat at a luncheon during the * years and my super wealthy friend started talking about the ‘poor’. I told her that when things get bad, which I feared in those days, if I have a hungry baby and zero money for food I would have to steal a purse or wallet to feed that child. She looked at me and said she was glad people didn’t think like I did. Around the table 10 out of 12 of my quilter friends said that they too would do that!! It was very eye opening for all of us.
