She was just a little girl so my grandmother had to sign for her but it demonstrates that EVERYONE got rations, even little kids. If we reach that point in the future, I doubt the US will ration goods to everyone. You will only get stuff if you can afford it & if you can't, tough luck. People who can afford more will be allowed to hoard while others go without.

We're in a sad, sad place.
