Austerity.....we think we experienced austerity.....we will know what austerity is when the reckoning comes....though maybe I will be circling in the ether by then.

think they use austerity now as a technicality and not something some of us lived through as kids. even that must have been better for many as the 30,s must have been and that better than the victorian era where working people were really slaves without em being called that. even those better off by working for someone like josiah salt had good housing but had to tow the line at work, go to church and have restricted lives worse than any restrictions we are having at the moment.
