I wonder what it was like during the Great Depression

Did people back then give a shite about the economy or were they more concerned with trans activism and politicians they didn’t like getting arrested?

We will all learn soon enough what it was like in the Great Depression.

It made people appreciate what they had and no, there was not any worries about trans, or the things we see today.
Many during that, tried to survive. It made them tougher than what we have today.
Try to survive NOW of what they did not have during that time and you will see anarchy and famine. It will not be fun to be a part of it today.
It WILL collapse.
We cannot go along and have unicorns and ferries in our life.
It’s going to fail/fall at some point

Some starvation. No free BigMacs. You took any available work. Too busy trying to survive.

The Dust Bowl years were sandwiched in between the Great Depression years and I contend the Dust Bowl was the real calamity responsible for rationing and soup lines and mass poverty and the like.

My grandmother told me they really didn't know it was a depression because they didn't have much to begin with. They lived in rural Arkansas, and she basically said they established a barter system to get by. My grandmother was really good at canning vegetables and making pies, so she would trade for things like getting clothes hemmed or hand-me-down shoes and stuff.

If and when we have this coming depression people won't give a shite about Trans or lgbtq..xyz either.

Relatives of mine never trusted banks after living through it. Keep stacks and stacks of cash at home.

It’s unfortunate that humans are doomed to repeat history over and over again.
Very VERY few people in this country know what hunger feels like. Maybe 10 years maybe 100 but there will be a a run back of society in this country and it will be hardship that has not been seen in a very long time.
But with hardship comes a certain purity of the soul and a reinvigoration of faith, values, integrity, and tenacity and the ingredients that great humans are made from. It’s a cycle as old as the human race.

I'm sure it was bad, but they had the messianic FDR to reassure them and guide them through it.
He was so selfless he agreed to stay on longer, rather than retire after 2 terms like every non-tyrant POTUS before him.
Then, his wisdom was able to take us directly into an industrial "recovery" by goading Japan to invite us to the big war.
Once he got that done, he had the blank check to really explode the deficit and not be constrained by those candy-arse Keynesians.
And don't even get me started on the generational inflection point of his social programs.
We really didn't deserve to have that man walking among us.

6 more years of Biden will make the Depression look like the Roaring 20s.

If ONLY there was another New Dealer like FDR to save us all. Someone good with debt, since we have so much and want so much more.

If it means that people will focus more on their survival than their incessant victimhood, then it almost sounds like a fair deal.
