my grandfather lived through the great depression and he said it was a great time. nobody really worked much so they spent most of their time goofing off and having fun.

When I was growing up my grandmother used to save campbells soup cans and use them as cups. I said to my mom: "Mommy thats kinda weird why does she do that?" "She lived through the great depression", she said.

Personally I think it was a dark time. Mental health care was in a dismal state back then. I'm just glad we live in an age where mental health care is a possibility and accessible to people. No one should have to deal with depression alone. Thank you for reading and God bless.

A Henry Lawson depression poem. Now up and down the siding brown The great black crows are flyin', And down below the spur, I know, Another `milker's' dyin'; The crops have withered from the ground, The tank's clay bed is glarin', But from my heart no tear nor sound, For I have gone past carin' -- Past worryin' or carin', Past feelin' aught or carin'; But from my heart no tear nor sound, For I have gone past carin'. Through Death and Trouble, turn about, Through hopeless desolation, Through flood and fever, fire and drought, And slavery and starvation; Through childbirth, sickness, hurt, and blight, And nervousness an' scarin', Through bein' left alone at night, I've got to be past carin'. Past botherin' or carin', Past feelin' and past carin'; Through city cheats and neighbours' spite, I've come to be past carin'. Our first child took, in days like these, A cruel week in dyin', All day upon her father's knees, Or on my poor breast lyin'; The tears we shed -- the prayers we said Were awful, wild -- despairin'! I've pulled three through, and buried two Since then -- and I'm past carin'. I've grown to be past carin', Past worryin' and wearin'; I've pulled three through and buried two Since then, and I'm past carin'. 'Twas ten years first, then came the worst, All for a dusty clearin', I thought, I thought my heart would burst When first my man went shearin'; He's drovin' in the great North-west, I don't know how he's farin'; For I, the one that loved him best, Have grown to be past carin'. I've grown to be past carin' Past lookin' for or carin'; The girl that waited long ago, Has lived to be past carin'. My eyes are dry, I cannot cry, I've got no heart for breakin', But where it was in days gone by, A dull and empty achin'. My last boy ran away from me, I know my temper's wearin', But now I only wish to be Beyond all signs of carin'. Past wearyin' or carin', Past feelin' and despairin'; And now I only wish to be Beyond all signs of carin'. Henry Lawson :

My family owns a large tobacco plantation that was not effected by the dustbowl. But my great-great grandma fought for sufferage and prohibition so they hosed that poo poo all up and then she died of some swamp disease and my great-great grandpa married some 19 year old Spanish refugee that had fled Cuba during the war but was wise enough to keep her out of the will So really it was pretty great for the ol' Booblord family

Everything that happened in the past, including the Holocaust, was actually a cool, fun time for all involved. But like parasites the elderly want to feed off of the hard work and accomplishments of the young, so they make up this myth that the Great Depression was a awful slog through economic misery rather than a chance for a bunch of chill people to jump trains and drink cheap booze while working as little as possible. Hitler was actually a pretty fun guy who died in the same freak kegstand accident that paralyzed FDR.
