Both of my parents lived through the Great Depression. I learned at a young age not to waste anything.
Most Certainly
My grandparents and parents lived through it too. Their motto was "Waste not, want not".
Mine lived through it also. You are right "waste not want not".
I was born in 1939. My family went thru the depression. Thank goodness for gardens with fresh vegetables , beans, potato’s and corn bread. We managed and I grew up going to school, Sunday school, Bible school in the summer. My grandmother sewed most of my cloths. We made it thru.
Your garden grew cornbread?
My dad was born in 1932. Many years ago I asked him what it was like growing up then. He said a few very simple words “ Everybody was nice”. I’ll never forget that.
lmao 1930s where men legally beat their wives and where whytes terrorized non whites without consequence? not much has changed
My dad born 28-- first job in trainyard Knoxville TN 12 yrs old- joined Marines in 45 age 17. Thing that got me was a twelve year old working in a trainyard.
My grandmother was born in 26, during the great depression she couldn’t even afford a pencil for school. She had to drop out in the eighth grade, to take care of her brothers and sisters, her mother passed away. Her stepmother was abusive, she found her father hanging in the barn. They were losing the farm, her father couldn’t take it. That woman suffered her entire life.
Things were simpler
@@Ninnjette-so then everyone definitely wasn’t nicer!
My mother was born in 1916 and my dad was born in 1920. They both lived to be 94 years old. They made sure we knew what it was like during the great depression and how they all survived. I don’t think the young people of today have the know how to survive something like this.
yes they would please get over your selves
Yeah please, go be a pathetic boomer somewhere else. First of all, this is happening again on massive scale and people are doing fine in some cases. It’s a struggle, it’s sucks, it’s hard, but we’re doing it. There’s a whole new class of “new poor” and that was all so boomers could have more money in their pockets and go on cruises while millennial and elder gen z-er’s work their asses off.
@@Augustlove801what happens when McDonalds closes down? After all the targets get looted? When the tp runs out? Easy peasy simpler times
And now we are at these same crossroads, and these kids will turn to communist ideology I'm afraid
Absolutely not! All the crying rooms would be closed down! They didn't call the people of this time 'the greatest generation ' for nothing!
My mom was born in 1932. She passed away in March of this year. Watching this video because I miss her and wanted to see what life was like back then.
My dad was born in 1932 but he passed on 11 years ago. Sorry for your loss. My mama was born in 1936 and is still living.
My dad was born in 1932 and died Nov. 2021. He often talked about the hardships they went through during the great depression, but him, his 4 brothers and 2 sisters lived on a farm and he said that because they had their garden and chickens, sheep, pigs and other animals, they never had to go hungry. I'm afraid if this were to happen now, it would be a total disaster and millions would starve to death because the family farms don't exist like they did back then.
My condolences Mojo.
Sorry for your loss I know how it feels❤
@@barrycuda3769thank you but happy times ahead 3 weeks grandbabies twins will be here. happy times to you also.
My wife and I were seniors in high school when 9/11 hit. We both joined the Army as paratrooper first responders and deployed twice to Iraq. This experience changed so much in my mind. From visiting the ancient city of Babylon to losing one of my best friends. I found God, or He found me and started changing my heart. In 2011 my wife and I quit out jobs and became farmers. It wasn’t easy at first but now we have acreage and a fully functioning veggie farm. We raise sheep and chickens and have access to a fresh well and more fish than we could ever imagine. I strongly suggest people move out of the cities and get back to the farm life.
Great, Destroy more nature.
So true.
The Ancient Ruins of Babylon is the only reason I’d ever visit Iraq. Hope they continue to take care of it!
@@tommyjones1357 I’m not sure civilians can visit Babylon today. It’s Probably still very dangerous but yes it was amazing. One of the most spiritually-charged places I’ve ever been to.
Amen
My grandmothers lived through the great depression as kids. They were very poor and times were very tough. They were very thrifty through the years but always generous within reason. They were really good people and I miss them terribly.
They called him the gay crusader. SMH.
My grandmother grew up on a rural farm during the depression. She talked about how they never had any issues with food because they grew everything and raised animals. If only land and houses were affordable now 😔
Same with my mother. Said they always had food on their table.
My grandmother is from Sydney, Montana and her family and she lived on a farm. She also said they never went hungry for the same reason. Beef was hard to get though!!
Contrary to popular belief, the DEVIL has taken over the government and now it is a government of the rich by the rich and for the rich. They have stolen everything through taxation, legislation, inflation, regulation, and extortion.. The good news is, The GREAT TRIBULATION is soon coming and the end of WICKEDNESS (Psalms 37: 10, 11, 29).
Land and houses are markedly cheaper in rural areas, compared to most (every?) city. The bigger issue now is that no one has the skills or backbone to live the farmer lifestyle.
@@BuddyLee23 It's very demanding and hard work being a farmer or even a gardener. If you don't do things at the right time you may as well not do it. Growing things don't wait till later. Most folks are just too lazy and lack patience to grow things.
At 18:45 they were talking about paying Farmers to not plant crops. They still do this today but I didn't know the government price-fixing was going on way back then. I think it's crazy to pay them not to plant crops when there is starving people
The biggest thing that really bothers me about the great depression is that even though the banks were closing they still managed to take possession of the peoples land and homes. Greed is what caused it and we are not far from the same thing happening to us again
You will own nothing and be happy.

HOW SUCH A TRUTHFUL STATEMENT!
we’re a lot less close than we were in 2009 when Obama pulled us out of the mess that Bush left for him.
It’s happening again right now on a massive scale.
My elderly father had tears flowing recalling how his high school buddies were starving to death!!! They were all welcomed to chicken dinners by my Grandma

My paternal grandparents were financially OK in the 1930s. Grandpa was a doctor. I believe his inheritance also helped him. On mom's side I don't know as much, but know they struggled
A sizable part of the population did well because of their economic situation, and they benefited from the low prices.
1849-men thought they could all go West and get rich mining gold.
1929-folks had been buying stocks on a 10% margin for a Decade, and thought the Gravy Train would Never end.
2007-ordinary folks mortgaged (sometimes several) McMansions, and the financial markets were backed with those mortgages.
We Never Learn
We need to just day no to debt and drugs and democrats.

@@waterheaterservices how's the national debt under trump
Yep, people do not know their own Country's History. The "Derivatives" are still floating around from the last collapse. Keynesian Economics Scheme is the worst thing to ever hit this country, it is building the BUBBLE of ALL Bubbles. These people NOW, the HANDLERS IN CHIEF are digging a HOLE like the Universe has never seen.
@@chubeye1187 Not as bad as under Biden ;)
The dust bowl was a tragedy of drought and over use of the land, a double whammy. So sad. Hopefully we have learned to treat our farmland better.
I don't think so.
This film, "Life in the Thirties," was shown to millions of children in thousands of public schools. It was my first introduction to the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, the Hoover Administration, and the New Deal. Lots of memories here.
Now again the replay of history.
@Southeastern777 The fat lady is just warming up. Wait. Watch.
My mother was raised on a farm during the 30’s. They never even knew what the depression was. My father was raised in a coal mining town. They too never missed a single meal.
BUT shirley temple?
They were lucky. God bless my family in Mexico never have the same problem
@@lacuevadegolum9448 I wish my grandfather was alive I would have loved to know what he was doing around this time in Ghana
BUT go to cinema to look shirley temple movies and was hapiness
My great grandfather was a coal miner in southern illinois during the depression.
Wow, so many names connected with the award winning TV documentary "Victory at Sea" from the '50's. Salomon, Bennett, Hanser, Scourby...
History repeats to this day.
And so sadly people forget that this happens - that history can repeat itself.......will humans ever learn from their past?
I wonder if they will make a video about 2020’s one day and how screwed up it is
You mean about how lazy and whiny these generations have been and how they wasted all the plenty that the generations before them had provided them?
only if they film it on 16mm it will survive. yes, very likely they will film that later in 50 years.
@@Veritas.0 that, unfortunately, is a common problem. weak men create weak times, /war/ hard times create strong men - the loop. as allways it's important to be centered and balanced.
An elderly lady had cans in her house if food that had been expired for years and wouldn't let us throw them away because she lived through the depression and was convinced for the rest of her life it would happen again. She went home recently and I know she will never know hunger again.
Very, very, interesting & more relevant than some may realise.
Holy smoke! You can keep the "good old days", life sucked awful back then
the depression was an equal opportunity of being broke, miserable and poor for everyone...whites families, black families, immigrants, widows, elderly. yep, they can keep that.

Can you imagine when you’re a kid and you think, how life will be like in future… I remembered thinking to myself in the early 90s, this was it.. and now it’s 2023.. now imagine back in the 1930s
Originally presented as an NBC "PROJECT XX" documentary on October 16, 1959.
Sponsored by the Gulf Oil Corporation.
Yup, this is the crap they taught in school in the 50s and 60s.
Thank you for that! I was trying to find the origins of this.
Here I am, watching it October 16th, 2021
@@maryloulong6789 this is crap?
I feel like we’re heading down this same road again.
Back them you could sell extra apples to make money. These days those needing food would steal it instead of trade for it. If we go into another depression it will be bad because less people have morals.
Horrible time. My parents sold their farm in Iowa before I was born. They got a cheap apartment in the Bronx, I was born in 41. I could’ve been a country boy, but hey, the city made me tough as nails with all the fighting I did!!
They had had the time of their lives, too bad the future generations think it to be of no interest, because those who know not the past, is doomed to repeat it. 4/ 22 / 2024.
Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is following this informative content cheers Frank well content is WOW !
My grandparents were married in 1934, communities were close knit together. They both got involved in huge dance marathons charity, so that some kids could have a xmas present! The lengths people went just out of kindness. Me, 56, the early 80s were abit crap with unemployment, but we as a couple learnt to manage money. You live n learn, it was no fault of our own, but things get better with time. It's like that when you've got a young family. Do feel for certain minorities, the way things are with food banks, homelessness, and so on this shouldn't be happening in 22! Come on!!!@
I was thinking how not a dang thing has changed then 21:56-23:02 played and i actually felt a bit easier in regards the political landscape as of late. One thing of note i noticed of this video, the narrator actually did a decent job of naming known the opposing argument to the gospel he was preaching by vocalizing the major criticisms of each subject and even telling of the times it failed.
The WW#1 veterans were promised bonuses because they not only fought in a war that had nothing to do with us, those who didn’t volunteer were forced to fight & millions were dying. The war never ended they ran out of young healthy men to fight it. A pandemic was spreading all over Europe & nations were forced to negotiate. In the USA, Wilson ordered a media blackout about the pandemic which hit hard on youth (unlike hitting on the elderly 100 years later) as American soldiers came home they spread the pandemic from train station to train station & with a media blackout nobody knew our soldiers brought it here & were spreading it. With 90% of the population in rural areas entire towns became sick, people were brought into doctor offices & there was nothing he could do.
Hospitals became
morgues, bodies just piled up outside, people too sick to bury them. It was much worse then than the Covid19 flu we recently endured. These were our youth returning from war. They were promised bonuses then & Congress refused to act & eventually passed it, but delayed it being paid far into the future. Hoover campaigned by promising these Vets payment & like most politicians, he lied.
People underestimate just how close we were to have a bloody revolution because of the stagnant policy of the Republican party elite to “do nothing to interfere in a free capitalist market economy” these ups & downs fix themselves if you do nothing, was the bullshit they told Americans. Vets had armed themselves & marched to Washington & protested 24/7 in front of the White House. At one point Pres Hoover who lost much sleep had ordered the army to disperse the vets ir shoot them. One bet was shot dead & they called it an accident.
If Roosevelt did not step into that white house when he did & if he had not brought about radical socialist reforms in 1933, there is no doubt the 3rd largest party within the USA would have marched on DC. That was the Communist Party in 1933 & millions were joining that party because they didnt trust democrats & blamed republicans for starting the Depression & that was certainly correct because they could have made it far worse by…
1) not creating food stamps as people were literally dropping dead from starvation all over America & the Republican policy was to let charity feed the poor. Right🙄 FAIL
2) Prevent foreclosures & evictions at least temporarily so peoples lives didn’t involve dying under bridges within the elements (it sure helped million in 2020) FAIL!
3) offer unemployment pay which would boost the economy FAILED!
4) end the Capitalist practice of long working hours using people until they became worn out by creating a 40 hour work week & overtime pay to encourage employers hire those unemployed rather than work people to death. FAIL!
5) major job programs for infrastructure …FAIL
6) Social Security for the retired & those who became disabled thru excessive long hours FAIL!
6 major reforms Hoover could have done which both the democrats & republicans refused to implement. But… Roosevelt did who took these reforms from the promises the communists were campaigning for. Socialism mixed with Capitalism is what saved this country from revolution in 1933. They were not either parties suggestions but Roosevelt had to do something & they proved quickly to be working. Had the communists succeeded & we adapted an economy similar to the Soviets, we would all be living in a 1-party totalitarian nation today. As it was a 1-party nation is what caused the Depression to begin with. Republicans were by far the sole leaders & ran this country from 1860-1932 & ran it into the ground because they lacked socialist reforms & still do.
The most despiccable form of slavery is voluntary slavery.
What is voluntary slavery in your mind? And no, I would argue involuntary slavery is far more despicable, objectively.
It was called the depression because everyone was so sad. Too bad, so sad.
Gramps house was built in 1875. They had a small barn on back of lot for horses.
A not so distant mirror of the 2020s.
FDR did a great job making everything Worse.
Care to explain? Upon his death America was the greatest superpower in history? Also he was elected 4 times so people at the time clearly didn't think he was making things worse, but better.
They never run out of money for cigarettes, do they?
Sin taxes were a lot lower back then. Besides, didn't Philip Morris say smoking is good for our health? They wouldn't lie, right?
The film is the 30s but not the documentary, cause he said Veterans of WW1, it was called the Great War than cause WW2 hadden started yet, but still great footage...
Why do I feel like this film was commissioned by FDR's administration?
It was made in 1959 and Roosevelt died in 1944. Unlikely that he had anything to do with it.
Many of these film people were in the WPA.
Could you ever imagine our current Demagogue "N Chief conducting such communication initiatives today, such as Fireside Chats? He can't because it's impossible for him to last longer than a few carefully constructed, spoon-fed sentences.
Go back to Moscow Ivan. No one cares about your nonsense.
The film ends. Back to sad life. 😢
Thanx
We almost made it to the 100 year anniversary..2029😲
The font on the title screen is totally like the font that is used in SpongeBob SquarePants.
Seems as if we are going down the same ole roads. Out of control govt. spending now threatens the whole nation. We have a republic as long as we do not vote ourselves the treasury. Words spoken by Franklin and are still truth today. Another depression is upon us, only worse this time.
We're having our current problems thanks to 50 years of unbroken RW republican policies
We've been here before a few times. Here is just one of those times. Watch from 20:00 to 27:00. 🤔 We now know how it all turned out.
So glad they have no videos of any blacks going through the great depression 🌋🔥📌🅿️
So this is when all the three letter agencies were formed😢
They were concerned about Roosevelt’s deficit spending putting the country i debt and leading us into socialism, what would they think about Brandon?…
SSDD.
We're stuck in some sort of time loop where the scripted bs reality show keeps repeating.
Herbert Hoover invented the vacuum cleaner to clean up the mess Calvin Bainbridge made
Thank you for the video
Difference was all sides wanted America to succeed- that’s not the case right now- we have enemies among us who sold America out when she was doing fine and would rather see her fall to gain their wealth/power- that’s the difference- and it’s a BIG ONE!!
They want to see the U.S. fall in the name of progressive values we need to go back to conservative values
So that's what political leadership looks like. FDR wasn't perfect but he thought big and did what needed to be done. Haven't seen the like of him since.
FDR was a filthy commie
My father was born in 1925. He would tell me stories about the Great Depression, sometimes his mother just wouldn’t have any food. She gave him a slice of bread, and a glass of water that she mixed some sugar in. Then the Depression ended and when he turned 18 he was drafted into the army and shipped over to Europe to fight in the war. I don’t think my generation could have handled that.
yes - unfortunately the US-depression ended only "thanks" to the war +1939 effort... Never forget: Wall-Street funded Adolf straight form the beginning which was also the time shown here in this film (late 1920's and 1930's)
I'm a friend of an old jeweler from Hamburg. Mr. Heinecke. Born late January 1920. He died with 99 years and the last 2 years he lived with Alzheimer.
The stories he told me were facinating. In 1948 Germany got new money from the Reichs-Mark to the Deutsche-Mark. He told me what he bought that day (china ware) and this service was still around in this shop, as we ate together, the whole staff (son, daugther, grand-son, seller-girl 1 and 2 and me), in the morning (I made very often sandwiches for us all) and the lunch time. It was me who cooked under supervision of one of our girls. This was once a week during my traning to become a watchmaker (2006 to 2009) at the clock & watchmaking school in Hamburg.
(I'm born in Hannover 100Km under Hamburg, north Germany).
He, Mr. Heinecke told you the old-time stories just like they were yesterday.
He had as a 9 year old though times with his father and mother together to survive. Very often he told me "I don't really like to think about it how it was"
After WW2 he pulled up in the ruines of Hamburg an old safe with his father.
During war he was forced to kill 2 russians which was so terrible for him (to go into a forest-part and shoot them).
He told that scene over and over again. Perhaps this let him live longer, as he spoke about it. But only to good friends and family.
A russian girl said in that time to him (even in german): "Werner - war is shit!" ("Werner - Krieg ist Scheisse!")
We must beware of goverments and banksters - they like to do the wars for profit and power.
I think NO ONE can handle such situations well...
Kind regards and cordially,
Géréon
Your dad was part of the greatest generation this country had but we have turned so far away from God that if this nation doesn't repent were heading for something far worse than the great depression.
You can and will adapt to tough times/ situations!

Veterans went to war & then needed their bonus money that was in a written contract & instead the gov showed their appreciation to these men by saying hell no and beating them. Ain't much changed huh?
Well, actually their bonus wasn't due until 1945. But point taken, our US Gov't still f*cks over our Vets continuously, while taking huge payola from defense contractors.
Not with the government involved.

@@hensonlaura WTF IS Your Problem?
My mother's father was killed on his railroad job in 1929, leaving behind a pregnant widow and five other children. There was no welfare in those days. A crooked lawyer, a trusted distant relative, took a bribe to let the statute of limitatons pass. Were it not for generosity from organizations like the Salvation Army, their hunger would have been greater. My mother, second eldest, cleaned doctor's mansion every day after school to help provide. Yet one by one the four younger boys had to go off to a home for orphaned boys, returning home only on certain occasions. Mom was first in her class but no scholarship was had and she went to work full time to help support her mom and aging grandmother and to maintain a roof over their heads. These were difficult times indeed.
God bless the Sally

The book Hard Times by Studs Terkel is a collection of interviews from people that lived through the great depression. Great read if you're interested in this topic.
Another is _The Common Man_ by Amity Shaels. I suggest its read to anyone who'll listen.
You see, when Wall Street causes the economic collapse - that’s just capitalism and “the price of doing business”, when Rockefeller monopolizes all gasoline - thats just business, but when farmers declare they’ll charge a cent more for the food they send into the failed cities - that’s illegal.
Please.. 🤣
Did the farmers have billionaires backing them, and lots of lobbyist in congress, no!
Federal Reserve as well.
the next depression will make this look like a picnic.
Currently we are in the supression stage. But coming soon will be depression.
When the Great Depression and other huge catastrophes occurred, I used to believe that everyone went bankrupt, but they didn't... Some made millions; I also assumed that everyone closed their businesses during these times, but certain did start new ones. It all depends on your point of view; there will always be moments of prosperity for some individuals and times of depression or recession for others. My primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $120k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.
First step is discovering loopholes to generate gains during volatility, It is very possible to retire big time from the current market condition without having to hold stocks long term.
@@greekbarrios Most of these strategies and loopholes are better managed by experts and pros, the average investors on the other hand are exposed to market sham which can lead to portfolio blunder. The issue is people always have the “I want to do it myself mentality” Unapologetically, that’s why they get heavily affected during a crash, most folks aren’t equipped enough to capitalize on drawdowns hence, its ideal to seek a CFP.
@@sommersalt88 At first-hand encounter, I stay unbothered amidst crisis and even pull off profits easily in a bull market, coupled with the fact we’ve had the longest bullrun ever in U.S history before officially falling into a bear market last year, i still maintain growing my portfolio from $170k to nearly $1m since late 2019 before the pandemic till date.
@@MIchaelGuzman737 To me, not everyone can afford a financial advisor. I personally dabble in stocks and my first rule is survival before flipping for chunky gains! congrats however, your Financial Planner must be really good, mind if I check him/her out on my computer?
She's a lady, "THERESA DANA PEEK" is her name. I initially came across her on a CNBC report then on smart advisors and at once searched her on the internet, best decision I've made to stay afloat these crazy times. She's been exemplary

@@JoeBlow-fp5ng There is no way you wrote that 4 months ago.
It was a joke you know?
Even though life was tough in the 1930's, people seemed to help each other more then. My parents grew up in the thirties and they were both very altruistic people who would go out of their way to help those experiencing problems. This kind of attitude stayed with them until the day they died.
Most people came from big families, so they learned early about hard work, helping one other and sharing paying off in the long run.
What goes around comes around was a popular cliche.
I’m just one person, and no saint, but have helped build 200 homes, a few food banks, worked with homeless, tutoring adults and children.
But the millions I raised and spent over 25 years is just a drop compared to any government program.
@@hjeffwallaceGovernment merely distributes the money we give it and poorly I might add. It does not create human equity and resources. That is all done on the individual level by picking up the shovel or having children and teaching our youth to contribute. Government is a joke. Especially when it's looked at as a savior.
Trust me if all 360,000,000 US citizens felt a duty to serve and create as you do then we would have zero need for government.
@Bryan Smith When you vote republican, you vote for this waste. We can do just as well with 20 million, 40 million can go to plugging that deficit.
My parents were born early 30’s. They had to work REALLY HARD for what they had. I think when you grow up dirt poor, you learn to appreciate everything a LOT MORE!! They didn’t whine like a lot of people do now. People now are SPOILED!!
In those days they were "the unemployed". Today they are "the homeless".
When my husband was out of work, he believed his job was to look for work, so he would be out from sun up to sun down putting in applications looking for work.
Excellent
What where you doing for a income? Husbands get cancer, broken legs from crazy accidents, develope mental illness etc. This is why its so important woman be educated in order to fully without aide support the family if need be.

Yeahhhh----- I had that deja vu feeling too.
My grandma was born in 1920. She had 4 sisters and a brother. Back then you had to pay tuition to go past 8th grade. But the girls adored their teacher and wanted to be a teacher like her. So they would pick berries all summer and sell them at their uncle’s store. Grandma told me when they got paid, they would each pick out a piece of candy and put the rest in the bank for their future tuition. Then came the crash of ‘29. Grandma said they “cried and they cried” because they lost all their berry money. Grandma died at 88 in 2008. She never went past 8th grade.
30 years ago was 1993. I was 29 then, but it doesn't seem like it was that long ago. My daughters were just kids then, and now they are adults with kids of their own. The 1990s were some good times, and in my mind it was recent history.
Why do I bring this up? When I was in grade school in the early 1970s, most of my teachers were bitter old men and women that seemed to hate children. They certainly didn't mind smacking us; it was legal then. One thing all those old teachers had in common was they had grown up during the great depression, Dust Bowl, and World War II just 30-40 years earlier. They certainly didn't mind telling us how bad their life was when they were younger. That would have been ancient history to us.
Knowing what I now know, the 1930s and 1940s was recent history to our teachers in the 1970s. No wonder they were so bitter. I wish I had known what I know now because I could have enjoyed learning something from people who actually lived through all of this.
You are very insightful for l to was born in 62 went to school 70s,you made something clear to me,thanks
Thanks for saying something important that I (born 1954) just noticed recently. Time is an odd thing, isn't it?
My grandmother always talked about two things, one was the depression and the other religion. About the depression, she always said that the uncertainty and occasional scarcity of things was stressful but that everyone helped each and looked after each other. She always stressed that nobody she knew went hungry. Bartering was a normal part of the economy. As for religion, she always said that she and her family and friends would not have gotten through the ordeal without their faith.
Meanwhile today we have many groups of people attacking religion. The enemy knows how important one's religion is and that's why they want to take that away. One of many tactics used against us.

As the son of two severe alcoholic parents, I often wonder how different life would have been if Prohibition was never repealed. All of that pain, anger and sorrow could have been avoided.
Today, the booze is delivered to your door. My sincerest prayers go out to the victims of alcohol today.
Drugs come to your door too, weed is legal, telling ppl they can't have something makes them want to get it by any means necessary. There would be nothing but rich gangsters running illegal alcohol if that wouldn't have happened
Alcohol destroys everything it touches. Everything.
I've heard compelling arguments that prohibition despite being seen as a catastrophe had a huge benefit in things like husbands abandoning their families, domestic violence... all the things you would expect to get better without alcohol. however, I have come to believe if not one thing it will be another. it's painful to be alive. he who makes a beast of himself takes away the pain of being a man.
My great grandfather owned breweries and bars that were shut down by prohibition. He was ruined financially. There was no recompense. The mob moved into the area from Chicago with their stills. One was down the road from my mother's farm. They had two armed guards at the drive night and day. There are many old still sites left. I remember one grown over in the woods - three abandoned houses in a semi circle around what is now a trail, each with gun stands in the peak of the attics - built in seats, and gun holes surrounded by thick plate metal. There was extensive alcoholism. Plus you could still brew your own. Even in a country strict as Saudi Arabia people get drunk. A Saudi college friend's brother spent a year in prison for drinking. As the saying goes - You can't blame the oven for gassing the Jews. If alcohol was banned, addicts would transfer their addictive behaviors elsewhere. It's the addicts responsibility to own their behavior and get help. Blaming others is a basic feature of codependency.
Great film. There are some similarities with today's political environment for sure. With comparing the 30s and today, the black cloud of the early 40s looms. I pray this familiar time today doesn't give way to WWIII
If I had to guess, it will. History is cyclical. You can already see the world leaders moving us toward war.

The crazy thing is that what brought this country out of the Great Depression was WW2.
It was the last war the US ever won.
The depression had almost ended in the US by 1938. Then, the GOP took both houses of Congress, and immediately dismantled much of the New Deal. This plunged us back into a mini depression that lasted until WWII.
There's more to that story too. War is money, and America's claim of not wanting to enter the war was crap. They wanted to make sure that they didn't end up in another depression if they did!
Great economic stimulus with borrowed money.
@@JWRogersPS The Democrats still had a supermajority in 1938. The only thing that changed was that the Conservative Collation (Dixiecrats and GOP) got powerful enough to block anything new, but not enough to block anything already passed.

Farmers always had a tough life. Industrial jobs expanded the US Middle Class, but they were also vulnerable to downturns, and, finally-with outsourcing and automation-those jobs were permanently lost.
Farmers too were tossed aside with the megafarm corporations.
The petro dollar killed US labor & goods.
@@scasey1960 What killed labor was corrupt management. The hiring in of unemployable friends and relatives got so bad in the late stages that most companies had to hire contractors just to get anything done. Finally the rich got sick of it and just pulled everything overseas.

Greed was the basis for
All our mistakes.
My mothers family, Canadian, had a camp outside of lashute. They were free to move from Montreal to Lashute as they wished, fishing and growing their own food. My mother doesn’t remember there being a depression. 90 years later, she saved used tea bags, insisted I learned, which I did, sew her clothes. She was a proud citizen. She passed away with enough to keep her kids well.
Never used tea bags. Environmental waste.
And I’m sure your mother NEVER COMPLAINED, like all of the WHINERS do today!! I was born in 50’s, they put us to work when 10 or 11 years old.
My father always said “it won’t kill you”
And it didn’t. Things have changed a lot in 90 years. I hope we never have another depression. A lot of people would starve to death. They wouldn’t have any idea of how to raise food!
you said "had a camp outside of lashute". What does that mean? They owned a camp, like a summer camp business? or they lived at a camp, like a homeless encampment or??

Oh, where are our President Roosevelt's today? My dad was a lifelong Republican but he thought FDR was the greatest thing since sliced bread. We are a blessed nation with an abundance of natural resources. When we are inspired by our leaders, such as when Kennedy vowed to be on the moon within a decade, we can achieve amazing results. But we have to work together to do this and the nation seems to be divided right down the middle on just about everything now.
And it seems most politicians are worried about what is best for themselves and how to get reelected and if how if they are not reelected how can they use their gov. connections and influence to get rich. The heck for what is best for the common good and common man. It really is a shame people don't want to compromise and work together towards a common goal and help out the average joe.
FDR was friendly with Stalin. We never went to the moon.
@@maplenook was Roosevelt not suppose to be the USSR's ally? They were both declared war on by the same enemy, Nazi Germany, they were allies of circumstance, maybe Germany shouldn't have been so war hungry. And how does any of that have to do with a moon conspiracy? Both Roosevelt and Stalin were long dead and gone by then, care to elaborate? We've also been to the moon many times since then.
Gee whiz, this sounds like current times! We never learned from the past and are now doomed to repeat it.
By the time we figure it out, we’re dead!!!

@Bryan Smith There were hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stuff I bought before stacking silver. Practical and useful stuff for self reliance after an economic collapse. I only reccomend silver to someone who has done the same or will simply keep 50k in their bank and never doing anything with it for decades. I've talked many of my friends out of dumping their savings into silver before they had even done food prep.

If the voice of the narrator sounds familiar, it is the voice of Alexander Scourby who also narrated the entire King James version of the Bible.
Even people back then who had skills to build and repair had a tough time finding work. When the collapse comes this time, it may be a bit different for tradesmen now. So few in our society still have those skills. It will be up to us few to keep things running while paper pushers cry that life is unfair
As a certified master toilet mechanic, [plumber], I approve of this message.
Been remodeling for 20 years so far. While I consider myself more carpenter than anything, I've got at least passing skills in almost every area of building. Always more to learn, but there's very little residential work I can't do. We need a new generation to learn these skills desperately.
That's why society needs to stop pushing college for everyone and promote the trades. We are very short of trades people right now. If you toilet overflows, who are you going to call? A graphic artist?
Paper pushers, influencers, and social media content creators.
My friend, that is so true. If you can’t live without your system working? Call a plumber. If you can’t live without your electricity? Call an electrician. And on and on it will go.

my grandparents were children during the depression and i think it made them paranoid for their future. they kept a garden, had money hidden around the house, reused foil/bags/jars, never upgraded furniture or appliances if it could be repaired...everything was for "just in case something happened".
This was a propaganda piece
@Southeastern777, Yes, yes I did.
My grandfather and his brothers did OK during the 30's. My Grandfather was a hustler and did a lot of side jobs. His brother, legend has it, Bootlegged Whiskey from West Virginia to Ohio. He eventually owned the second radio station in Akron, OH. Owned a movie theater, Summit Beach Park. He owned a lot of CBS stock back then. I remember after he died as a kid, going to his Merriman Rd. mansion and seeing Agnes Moreheads autograph on his huge bar wall.... He entertained many celebrities back then...
