    Now its a smartphone and a 50 sqft studio apt that’s $2500/mo. Hey at least we dont have kids to worry about like back then they would have had 17 kids to feed during the depression.

        If you know you can’t feed them and someone else demonstrably can, it’s not so clear, especially if you also have several other kids you can’t feed, whom you could feed with that money (but leading with that arithmetic is definitely mama bird shit, as is abandonment).
