A lot of people didnt after. My great grandmother had a lot of money hidden throughout her house when she died. I think like 400 dollars.

Yes that's why Roosevelt started the federal depositors insurance corporation and insured the money in the banks, so people would feel safe putting their money in them. That's why we had to bail them out during the banking crisis, letting them go under would be a massive bailout to the depositors.

WOW!

Damn, shit got real.

Let's hope not. I gotta admit things haven't been right since 9/11/01. And that was twenty years ago. This thing happening right now could set us back generations as far as living standards are concerned. Anyone who rents or doesn't own property outright is in big trouble I'm afraid.

@@jpmnky Things arent alright because our politicians are bought like prostitutes for wall street and CEOs. And the generations before were to blind to notice. Now we have trump vs Biden. It's funny remembering the propaganda we heard when we were children, about how the USA is the best. Fucking lies and of we don't do something this country is fucked! This is not hyperbolic, people really need to realize that.

That woman lived an interesting life.

Omg I live Josephine Baker! I read a bio on her and saw a 🎥 movie about her and her rainbow 🌈 tribe. Beautiful and strong soul... RIP Josephine Baker!

She was born in St. Louis. She just had to go to Europe to be accepted as an entertainer, and even as a human (this was the early 190's).

She renounced her American citizenship and got the French one. I think that’s why they refer to her as a French entertainer

The great depression actually made many rich people poor and reduced the wealth inequality. In fact, that big inequality was a major contributor because eventually many people got too poor to purchase more products

@@tomlxyz yes, some lost entire fortunes, but some got richer. Many committed suicide because they just couldn't take it.

@Joe Smith Early Baby Boomers. The ones born towards the end aren’t doing so well.

I would say either the G.I. Generation or the Silent Generation were the wealthiest. The G.I. were children during the Great Depression and came-of-age/fought in WWII. The Silent Generation were children during WWII. If anything, they built their fortune by being miserly, saving, investing and working hard because they were extremely cautious since they were used to not knowing what was going to happen tomorrow. If anything their children, the Boomers, were lazy hobo brats whose suburban upbringing made them feel entitled and not-hardworking. Fortunately, the Boomer's "enlightened" state didn't make them as splurging as Gen X. But there are many similarities between the Lost Generation (who caused the Great Depression), the Boomers, and the Millennials. Perhaps the generation after Gen Z will go back to being more pro-establishment like the G.I. and Silent Generation.

@92laird You are either young, or naive if you think whats happening now is worse. Are you starving? Your basic needs are still covered, and you have access to KZfaq and the internet still, so you obviously got luxuries.

@@neoasura unemployment predicted to reach levels of 30% by July says the fed. That's higher than in the great depression. Also doesn't count those who aren't looking for work adding even more to the percentage. So yeah, before you write a comment like that try to understand that people can't pay rent, don't have insurance (tied to their job), and prob have kids to feed let alone themselves. This is going to be worse, and it's people who are in your position to recognize that because you privileged enough not to be massively effected by this crash. People are going to die, and there's going to be bread lines, so STFU and rethink your position.

@92laird FDR made reforms like the FDIC that will pay 100,000 dollars in case any bank that payed the insurance closed.

Jacob Bowerman well said 👍🇬🇧

@92laird one thing I've noticed as I got older, the stereotypes about how Americans are stupid is surprisingly correct. I'm American, but the people running our country (CEOs and wallstreet) blantantly duped the population. We need to change leadership quickly or my country is fucked.

I can read or watch something about the big cities during the Great Depression. But when it comes to the dust bowl, I almost have an anxiety attack.

Yup. I like how people complain about climate change and the world getting warmer, but its actually been pretty cold since the 30s. And after this warming of the Earth, its gonna get EVEN COLDER. Climate change has its ups and downs, so you Democrats need to start using the term correctly!

@@prussianeagle1941 Yep.. don't listen to climate scientists who actually know what they are talking about.. just cheer on the fat oompa loompa with the blonde toupee.

@@0816M3RC Hahaha, I listen to climate scientists all the time, it's kinda hard not to. They have stated quite a few times that the world has it's cold periods and it's hot periods. Scientists play it on the Earth moving a few degrees away from and towards the sun. Our planet shifting just a few degrees away from the sun can have vast impacts on its climate. So mr oompa loompa, you gonna follow your lying, snooping, serial killer of a so called "leader" who has a cheating husband? Or are you gonna follow the party who's first president (Abraham Lincoln) freed the slaves? I mean really? When you get to name calling it shows you have the comebacks/thought process of a middle schooler. Sorry man, but have a great night!

@@prussianeagle1941 "So mr oompa loompa," Umm.. I realize that you were probably too stupid to come to this conclusion yourself.. but I am not even remotely orange skinned so trying to insult me by calling me that makes zero sense. Nice try though. "you gonna follow your lying, snooping, serial killer of a so called "leader" who has a cheating husband?" I am assuming you are talking about Pelosi? It is funny that you accuse her of lying even though politicians do that by default. Yes that includes your oompa loompa overlord too. Hell I have lied before and so have you, technically we are all liars. In fact here is a scorecard that is keeping track of Trump's lies. www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/ As you can see he has quite a few under his belt. "Snooping" is another weird insult. I bet that if a "snooping" Republican had gotten some dirt on Obama when he was in office you and the other Republicans would be praising him. "serial killer" Well THAT is an interesting accusation. Do you have some actual proof or are you bullshitting me? "Or are you going to follow the party who's first president (Abraham Lincoln) freed the slaves?" WOW. Are you being genuinely ignorant about the fact that political parties change over time? After 1912 the Republican party began a ideological shift to the right and by the 1960s they had switched with the Democrats. The South became Republican and the North became Democrat. The parties are very different today then they were in the 1860s. The fact that I have to point that out is pretty sad. Also I wouldn't praise Lincoln too much, he only freed the slaves to gain a tactical advantage against the South. He even said that if he could win the war without freeing the slaves he would do so. "Sorry man" Not sure why you are apologizing considering you are the one who made a fool of yourself. "but have a great night!" Thanks I shall. :)

Eventually everyone who would have wanted to buy already did, then the prices started going down a bit and people realized that it's not going up forever (which many actually thought at this point), then people start freaking up, pushing the price down further, eventually people who purchased with loans have to sell to cover the loans, pushing it down further. It wasn't really a one day to the other event how it's often presented. That day was actually not even the day with highest loss in history. It's just that it kept going down and down

There's lots of books to read and documentaries about those things

@@ownagenoobs1 Soldiers these days, at least in many countries, CHOOSE their jobs. It's far from the most stressful job around. Commercial fisherman is more dangerous than a US solider. I know it's not a job but being in prison is much worse. Especially if you don't have a release date. At least in war you have hope, some in prison have no hope. Without hope you are already dead except you are still breathing.

@@ownagenoobs1 Might be a surprise for you but a soldier's job is filled with boredom most of the time, regardless of historical period.

Check out the History Guy Channel- i think he did a video on it.

Eh...not likely. That's why we have breakers these days to halt trading if markets start shooting down. Basically to try to stop the snowball effect that caused '29 crash.

In the long term, the full-time professional investors basically get their profit out of the pocket of the amateurs...

No one cares

Save your pittance. Buy some seeds.

Lol no not even close more like 3300 bucks but what ever makes you feel better

Rachel Benge i guess imma feel what my great, great grandparents felt

The current crash would have been far worse if it's wasn't for the limit breaks that the current American markets use to pause or stop trading after too big a move, but the thing that really stopped the crash this time was the federal reserve being given the power to buy up not just bonds, but any assets it wants to an unlimited degree. It's completely broken the idea of a free market, but it did stop the crash.

The crash of 29 was an overproduction crisis.... nothing to do with the covid19 situation. When the companies reached a point where the goods couldn't be sold they were already in the shit.... now was just a crisis caused by an outside nuisance, unrelated to the business.

@The Irish Italian really not worried about the stock market I'm worried about unemployment. I couldn't give a shit about how much wall street is making.

@@mikatu a crisis that destroys service based economies (like the us) if there isn't too down action from the government. < And I believe neither Democrats or Republicans were ever ready for a crisis like this. We need new leaders not bought and sold.

It just can't. The money was given to someone else. It's gone. If they took 20 dollar each from 5 accounts, purchased a stock for 100 which then fell to 20, then only the first person cashing out will get money

No bank can give back all people's money, that's why bank runs are scary for the financial industry

Bank accts were not insured…no FDIC back then

Over inflated stock prices. Bubbles burst.

Everything bought on interest.

Credit expansion led to the over valuation of the stock market, pretty much the same thing that is happening right now.

You obviously get your info from CNN or MSNBC. But it's not true. Trump banned travel to China back in January. He was criticized by Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and the media. Nancy Pelosi even went down to Chinatown and said " everybody come out here. "

@@vjs4539 You obviously get your info from Trump's tweets. Firstly, he didn't ban travel to China in January, he only banned some immigrants in specific circumstances from coming to the US from China. Secondly, that alone isn't anywhere close to actually acting on the crisis. Banning some immigrants from China did NOTHING to ramp up production of testing equipment, aligning federal and state officials on policy, etc. That moron you support kept calling the media's response a "hoax". Hell, just this weekend he urged people in states with Democratic governors to "liberate" themselves and join corona protests, something NO health officials or medial doctors advise. How can you not see that man is stupid and has not (and currently doesn't) take this seriously? At some point you have to take off your partisan hat and put on your AMERICA hat and ask yourself, "Am I foolish for supporting this idiotic tv game show host to lead our government?" That man is too stupid to be president, and deep down, you know that's the truth. Don't make excuses for that moron.

@@Lcmr1997 Yep, the one passed by the Democratic House of Representatives and Republican Senate. You know very well that Congress wrote that bill.

Just because the Idiot signed a law that smart adults actually wrote for him doesn't stop him from being stupid. He's still the same moron who downplayed the virus for weeks, calling the media response a "hoax". You know deep down that Donald Trump is too stupid to be our president. Why are you lowering your standards to accept his total lack of preparedness and leadership?

according to economists, the handouts to billionaires would have crashed it, even without COVID. i wonder why the US spends billions (annually) on military labs....

Within 5 years the current drop to the markets should be a long distant memory. Inflation might end up being a problem down the track given the huge amount of quantitative easing going on not just in America but around the world, but if your money is in shares then it won't be your problem.
