The great depression began at the end of the 1920s, its sequal, the big sad, begins at the beginning of the 2020s

One of the biggest contributing factors you didn't mention was the fact that it was legal and practiced for general banks to invest in stocks...so when the stock market collapsed, it wiped out most people's savings overnight.

You didn't mention the issue where banks would basically give huge loans to nearly anyone (which obviously were never paid back). This caused them to be in such bad fiscal states that they would forclose on people that were actually making their payments on time, as the banks basically demanded that everyone pay them back in full.

This is why I love History. Its a blueprint of the mistakes of men so we don't commit those same mistake.

What was crazy about the dust bowl is that in a lot of those areas in my home state of Oklahoma we had only recently fully recovered from the depression. The great depression changed our politics by making us SUPER DEPENDENT on federal money and made us a very prison and military base dense state.

My ancestors were all farmers in Oklahoma and such owned quite a bit of land and were comparatively successful, and if the great depression hadn't hit. That is probibly where I would be living, but with the collapse my family lost all their land though supposedly I have relatives who still live there. It's strange to think of things like this have wide and long lasting effects. I live in Wyoming as opposed to the south largely because this issue my ancestors had to deal with.
