It was only bad for people who lived paycheck to paycheck. So imagine the type of people who live paycheck to paycheck now. That's who suffered badly back then

My grandfather literally fed my dad pig slop on the farm because they were so poor. PIG SLOP ANON. And my grandmother had to whore herself out in the city for a while just to make ends meet.

Not sure, but my grandparents kept 20 years worth of canned food in their house at all times, and reused cardboard boxes and old milk cartons and everything else they could find even though the weren't poor anymore. Also they turned their heater off and yelled anytime someone tried to turn on a light bulb in their house. They spent afternoons going around looking for aluminum cans and spare change that people had dropped on the ground. That was a full 50 years after the depression had ended.

America was like 95% white at that point so there’s no way it was worse than what we have now

Are you implying they wanted to create an impoverished underclass for cheap factory labor and cannon fodder

>>57820862
Yeah I’ve known several old timers like that. It really deeply affected them and they never got over it. So, yeah, it probably was as bad as they say.

My dad's parents lived through it and it effected them so much it effected him and the country has been relatively prosperous his whole life

Interesting thing about gold during the Great Depression.

>>57820799

According to Truflation, the inflation that is coming for 2024 is worse than in 1929 and that's a fact
100 years later and you still a cuck

While I agree in a general sense, actually what happened was a lot of people just couldn't get their money out of the bank. Even rich people essentially became insolvent over night. Still had to pay loans back though, and now money is in HODL Mode, and income goes down (due to deflation), dries up completely due to job loss. Oh and don't even think about using gold instead, that's illegal now, bring it to your local Commissar so we can use it for collateral to save everyone from the financial crisis (then we devalue the dollars we just handed you in exchange for your gold). They doubled the price of gold overnight by government edict.

In short, the bankers and the politicians robbed the people and left them with nothing.

And the theft has continued unchecked for the last 100 years.

She had 10 kids. I can’t even believe that.

So you mean to tell me that if we don't sell the house and we get hyper inflated in a year, we can pay it off cause debt don't scale with inflation since it's already a set contract to pay a locked in amount? LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

>>57820760
I would have slurped the FUCK outta the Great Depression dip.
