We are without a doubt bound to repeat history because we don't learn from the past. The generation who survived the depression is gone. I doubt there is that many still living who remember it clearly. Both of my late parents grew up during the depression and WW II.
People have forgotten about the hardships of 2008-09. David Bowie was right, people are fucking dumb. We have the attention span of a flies life and the depth of an empty glass. The Great Depression dragged on for a decade until WW II got into full swing. Then people went back to work and the blood bath begin. Of course, money and wine poured down the streets.
People let's get real now. We as a country have come so far why are we so damn dumb sometimes? It's not that hard to look up how far The Great Depression reached and what the effects were. I am currently re-watching a series on. I watch it occasionally so I don't forget how bad things got. Also, how little the presidents, congress, and the senators did to help prevent it. FDR put Joe Kennedy in a powerful position in spite of his involvement in the whole disaster.
I am going to leave some links below I hope y'al will check them out. The last one is a link to a series on the Great Depression. It's got multiple parts, so please make sure you watch all of them.
