The Great Depression wasn’t even 100 years ago. I was talking about guns to someone at church yesterday, and he wondered what people storing guns and ammunition expected to happen ... the Zombie Apocalypse? I told him about the book I was reading, and observed that those people didn’t expect the Zombie Apocalypse (or the German 10th Army, or Bomber Command) either, but World War II happened all over them.
Stuff you don’t expect can happen.
Didn't work out as planned.
