      Someone who is 92 in 2026 was born about 1934. The Great Depression persisted (in the U.S. at least) until about 1940. So she definitely survived some early childhood years during the Depression.

      But goddamn are we getting close to the point where the surviving elders are way way more likely to not have been around during the Depression than to have been.
