Outstanding soundtrack. People like Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans commissioned by the FSA to document the people of rural depression era USA and bring us iconic images that still resonate today.

And to add, I don't think we'll ever have a depression as bad as the 1930s. We can still buy things, we still have jobs, we can pay for central heating when we save enough etc. In the 1930s people lost their houses and especially during the war. All the documentaries about the 1930s were set around grey skies. So you should be bloody grateful that for one, our economy has greatly improved over the years and two, child labour and child abuse are forbidden these days.

Anyone who wishes to live in the 1930s, in the era of depression must be mentally retarded. My grandparents don't ever want to see the 1930s again. Ever. You don't know how lucky we are now. Excluding the internet and mobile phones, we have what we want now and live in nice houses with great insulation and we have higher salaries and earn more in luxury which people in the 1930s could never have. The 1950s and 1960s seemed great times but the 1930s are a no no. Hence the name "Great Depression"

We have different problems now, and as little as they seem. Our problems are now harder to solve.
We have more starving people than we ever have had before. More poverty stricken community's than ever before. It's worse than it has ever been.

Take the mortgage crisis from 3 years ago, the bank failures and the current 9% unemployment rate and the 40% drop in the stock market. Now double all that and that still doesn't tell the whole story about how bad the depression was in 32 and 33. |
