The Great Depression: The Collapse of the American Dream | FULL DOCUMENTARY

[@raymondcaylor6292]

Born in 1949 I was surrounded by persons who lived through the depression in somewhat rural Southeastern US. Every family had gardens and everyone canned foods. I remember in the mid 50's visiting family that had a hand pump in the kitchen as the only modern convenience. My Mom was a great cook but seldom did she cook potatoes because she said them and eggs where they often the only thing to eat in her home. Her Dad died from pneumonia in 1928 and her Mom's income was from washing, ironing, and sewing through the depression and beyond. My Maternal Grandmother may not have had the toughest life but it sure wasn't a picnic.

I love watching videos on the Great Depression. It’s like watching a documentary explaining the future. I love noting the remarkable parallels with current times and rubbing my hands at the opportunities ahead, including the crash itself. I wonder, at times, if it’s all manipulated. If the same economic cycles are played out, over and over; preying on human emotion and recycled, to the benefit of a wealthy few. There are three people in life: The ones who make things happen, the ones who watch what happens and the ones who wonder what happened. Which one are you? 👀

[@pedenmk]

Both my parents grew up during the Depression. It was definitely hard times. Thanks for sharing.

It seemed like my parents told me something of their hardship during the depression every week. I was born in 1950, and had no clue what they were even talking about! I looked around and we had lots of food and work and 'stuff' and a nice Chrysler car too. These day, I know of what they spoke.

The system is failing as a result of both government and federal policy. In the next days, the banking crisis would have to be epic and gigantic for the FED to decide not to raise interest rates. This won't happen; an increase and a crash are coming. There will be more negative portfolios this 3rd half of 2024 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?

Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder

FYI: A second, smaller Bonus March in 1933 at the start of the Roosevelt administration was defused in May with an offer of jobs with the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) at Fort Hunt, Virginia, which most of the group accepted. Those who chose not to work for the CCC by the May 22 deadline were given transportation home. In 1936, Congress overrode President Roosevelt's veto and paid the veterans their bonus nine years early.

No reason to give babies pork fat, the mom should breast feed, so one has to ask was it rumor or truth. I'm not saying that no babies didn't starve to death, but it was rare. Mostly they would have suffered from malnutrition and then died of some diseases rather than solely starving. Actual documented deaths from starvation was low.

Dorothea Lange’s haunting, somber photographs tell everything in so much detail. In every face the eyes and drawn looks speak volumes in their austere silences. Yet in some, as in the larger family standing together, the children had socks and were well shod, showing how some people weren’t as destitute. Looking at their faces they seem determined to not be beaten, though they were living in a tent. But in the faces of others who have been reduced to mended rags, weariness brought age that crept into even the faces of children. They look worn, their eyes held a distant emptiness that had taken childhood from them. It would never return. They wear the same as their parents; tattered, ill fitting, piecemeal garments, handed down and too large or too small; worn out dresses, patched pants and shirts. Even what’s past rag bag condition must be saved, mended and worn. Garbage piles were meticulously searched in hopes of finding anything useable. Dorothea’s photographs tell a story without need of a single word. The language of the poor was silence. They’d been left without even their pride. Poverty was all there was. My goodness but the poorest of the poor had less than nothing. Every day another hard day of nothing. A myriad of lives in caravans, weaving a trail through the dirt of endless days and nights without any thought of dreams. The poor could ill afford those. Thank you for an excellent documentary of the Depression.
