While we're trolling future historians, let's rewrite the history books to say that the Great Depression was just a period where everyone was really sad for some reason. It was a mental health epidemic, not an economic crisis.
I mean, The Great Depression probably did make a bunch of people sad.
nah not even depression, just sad enough that we stopped working for a few years, and the eventually decided we should probably start working again lmao.
Also the Nazis came to power. And that was just like...a huge bummer for everyone.
well only for part of the world that knew what was happening, the rest just kinda, existed.
