Interesting times to say the least.
Even if our worst case scenario of a total collapse doesn't happen, it is a certainty that we have not gone through anything like this in our lifetimes.
The struggles we will go through will be the same!

True... the depression certainly had some terrible times but people lived a life where they possessed the abilities and knowledge to cope with such a situation that we no longer possess.
Most of us don't have the ability to raise food or animals or live without electricity or city water if need be.
Even a recession or depression that is not as bad as the great depression could be much worse on people because their inability to live in a world where there are no groceries at the store.
When people lose their jobs they lose their house... their car... what do you do then?
There is no escape plan.
