WW2 was a crisis and we responded appropriately. We are in a crisis a lot worse than WW2 but we act as if it's all good.

During the spring of 1942, a rationing program was established that set limits on the amount of gas, food and clothing consumers could purchase. Families were issued ration stamps that were used to buy their allotment of everything from meat, sugar, fat, butter, vegetables and fruit to gas, tires, clothing and fuel oil.
