      Interesting comparison with the hardship of the dustbowl to what could come down the line.

      The only good news lies in the fact that at about the same time that the NYSE was hitting its first circuit breaker, other leaders around the country came to understand that waiting on the White House would lead to even more deaths.

      I like the idea that we are waking up to being less dependent on Washington, wouldn't mind it going a step further and really seeing people lean into their local govs and individual authority.
