At the beginning of WW2 92% of Americans live on rural, self-sufficient farms. They built their own structures, often with materials on the land. They raised livestock, butchered them, and ate them. Chickens for eggs and meat. They had huge gardens and canned and froze. They had fruit trees. If a depression happens get out of the cities.

I think this next depression could trigger a lot of civil unrest. A lot of people are already on the brink, and a recession would be like dropping a match into a tub of gasoline. Thank you for this wonderful video.

The social/humanitarian cost would be a lot worst for sure. There are a lot more people (both in numbers and percentage wise) who rely directly on the government nowadays whether that be through the military, social security, Medicare or food stamps. Even during these normal or even “thriving” economic times, there are still so many people on the streets, so many people who are food insecure, so many people who are one miss bill payment away from being in the streets. It’s scary to think about that.

A recession is when your neighbor loses his house. A depression is when you lose your house

It would trigger a worldwide depression like we have never seen before

We are headed there, and there is no stopping it.

People are so weak and helpless millions will die from sheer ignorance.

A second depression would probably kill off about 1/3 of the US. People only survived the Great Depression through gardening, hunting, and other forms of resourcefulness such as hand-building structures. These are things many people, myself included, simply do not know how to do.

1st great depression by design. 2nd as well by design...

I really disagree with the idea of people moving to coastal areas or big cities in the possible upcoming depression… especially with work from home opportunities people are going to FLOCK to cheaper cost of living areas or I should say wherever housing is average or cheaper then national average… I personally would not want to be in any city during a depression for safety reasons.

The West Coast doesn't even have enough housing for that because of nimbism and zoning and high rents. So yeah most of those people who go there might end up on the streets because they can't afford an apartment

You and I must come from two different planets, Moving into a major city during a great depression would be my last choice.

Stagflation = a combination of it all, depending on the sector: inflation, deflation/recession, depression The Central Banking System always ends in a very bad way because it allows a few to manipulate the many

Another great video!

You forget that back in the 1920's Survival was an actual threat, not a reality TV show. People in today's cities are (mostly) fat and weak. The supply lines feeding those cities are Constant. It would only take 7 days before most food supplies were gone. Not to mention that 63% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Most people now days don't support one another. They riot over trivial perceived wrongs. What will happen when they don't have there double skinny mocha latte? Then days later and there is no actual food.

Problem is people didn't have what we gave back then they knew how to live on nothing most people don't now

Good info. I was waiting for you to put on the spidey mask.

How about a “What if” video about what if The Corporation that is the “United States” abolished the unconstitutional Banking cartel, and coined it’s own money?

Maybe you can make a video about what if Tecumseh and his greatest British ally Brock survived, than managed too create a native nation?

@06:51 - People did the opposite during 2020 - They left the California and New York for smaller States.

Great video

I’m glad that I filed Bankruptcy in 2019. I left a lot of debt behind,and learned how to budget and manage my money, how to save and how to learn the difference between my wants and my needs.

Yeah, America has been going through its second great depression since 2008. Hopefully, it will end by the 2030's, and America's economy will improve by a lot once it reaches that point.

You can blame both sides of the isle for this.

I honestly hope that if it’s inevitable that economically illiterate people don’t start voting for the government to start nationalizing industries like the Financial, Energy, Food, fossil fuels and mining

Great vid

Young people would call it "The big sad" for one.

One thing that you left out of this video is that in 1929 the USA was not already in many, many Trillions of $ in debt and they could borrow money to pay for the measures that they did back then, the question is, would they be able to borrow huge amounts of money again now???????

The reason why we had the Great Depression was due to the gross incompetence of the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve single-handedly turned a normal business-cycle downturn into something catastrophic by *throttling* the money supply at the worst possible time. Had the Fed properly addressed the downturn by *increasing* the money supply, there would have not been all of those banks going under because of those massive bank runs. Businesses would have still been employing people, and there would have been a mild recession in 1931-32, resembling a post-World War II recession.

We never over comes it fully since

Knowing that we Are in a recession and have been, ( 2 consecutive quarters of negative gdp). the currency printing along with bailouts of banking institutions(creating more debt), mortgage rate increases across the U.S., inflation due to FED Stupidity, new taxes (sidehustles), and increasing joblessness, this next collapse of the Everything Bubble will be a surprise to most and a death blow. Those that have been planning and preparing for this time for any length of time will fare much better, location depending. Those whose assetts are outside of the Matrix will trive and gain much wealth during this planned reset.

Your chennel is one of the best in Youtoob.

Recession equivalent to epidemic where Depression equivalent to pandemic

This vid sparked an interesting thought experiment on the geographic and economic effects if the US capital were moved to the somewhere central in the US. That could be a huge infrastructure project that the goverment could do if there were a depression or under some vague security concern and there would be short term spending but also long term benefit as I imagine such a capital project would force us to build out our rail to and from the various parts of the US to that central location.That'd only work if planners were smart enough to build such a city as non car-centric since it would be choked immediately by cars

Nashville footage at 6:08 :D

Unfortunately, people talk about the Depression starting in 1929 but all through the 1920s, the farming sector of the US was in depression almost the entire decade. In 1929 the rest of the country caught up (or down) to the farms.

You forgot to mention the inevitability of WW3.

The US running out of money is like a carpenter running out of inches

im the 1,000th like. tysm for making this video. my great grandma survived the Great Depression. she lived a long life but was effected by it.

What if the second great depression was severe to a point that Even the tech industry was greatly effected

Hard to see where all the workers would come from for another WPA.

At least, this time, the us won’t be suffering alone.

Yes the greatest generation. Used to live in huts with dirt floors. Then after the war it was track homes and good jobs. I knew a lot of them. I’d listen to their stories. But I don’t think they had EBT back then.

Im worried if we'd have a 2nd Great Depression⁰ what would happen to my Social security n SSI n Food stamps. I'm 70 and phys disabled my back is broke n congestive heart.etc.

This time is not a recession.

You do realise that the stock market did not regain the point at which it stood in 1929 before the Crash until 1955? The War helped, but it was not the cure that it's often touted to have been.

No social security. Oh no.

This corrupt government is going to guarantee a depression

What will happen ? Those of agape love and spirit will be provided for and in perfect peace. Agape love to you all. 🙃🦁

There is no “what if”

The US is currently at the “dependence” stage of the cycle…soon to collapse and revert back into bondage and dictatorship. “Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.” Alexander Fraser Tytler, 1787

Under Biden we are heading that way

We all know for certain auto, gas, even the current freight train companies will make sure the US will never get high speed rail

We are already in one! The quality of food, water, house construction, materials and goods even the health is and are all bad compared to years ago. And no the progress of technology does not mean we aren't in one. Technology is separate from economy as technology will always progress regardless of the state of economy because technology comes from ideas not of this physical world which is where money and material goods come about.

It is not "what if". The only question is " when".

It will especially with states like NY, CA, OR, and WA.

They will survive it. They are strong beyond what they themselves believe. They will unite in what is right so long as they don't give up on their inner light.

Extremes and instability will lead us into a depression. COVID was just the start.

Ok let's do this. 1. The depression didn't magically end with WW II. As with anything it spreads slowly. Yes, in industrial areas, sure. Not so much 'down on the farm ' as it were. Most folks in rural areas didn't exit the grips of the depression until the mid to late 1950's. My parents grew up during the depression. It scared them. Oh, Social Security? You know SS was a joke right? Right? Retirement at 65! Yaaa! Um, nope. Average life expectancy back then was less than 65 years. Most people would never draw Social Security. Those that did wouldn't draw it very long. It was intended as just another tax. Pro tip for Social Security. What you draw is figured on the last ten years of work. Oh, there's a cap. A max you can draw. The rest of your money goes to support a bum. As far as the southern migration. That actually started with the great flood of 1927. I won't bother you with the history of that here. You can look it up. Being old I lived thru things and was taught about events and history by my older family members. Sadly we don't do that much today. Good job by the way. Keep it up.

People get what they voted for in this day n age. It started this time with people not wanting America being self sufficient. That's my opinion.

Yeneteeeee!!!

I trust North America will, with great suffering and anguish, struggle through as it did before.

WE HAVE BEEN GETTING ALONG FOR THE PAST CENTURY WITH ONLY SOME PENNIES, NICKELS, DIMES, HALF DOLLAR COINS AND DOLLAR COINS. OUR FIAT NO VALUE FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES FOR THE PAST CENTURY ARE NOT MONEY JUST WORTHLESS PAPER WITH NO SILVER OR GOLD VALUE BACKING.SO, WHAT ELSE IS NEW??

We have safety ners now but too many have takenen advantage n bankrupted the system.

What if money became completely useless.

People are acting like a depression is gonna wipe out half the us. That's absurd If we hit a recession, buy McDonald's stock. Anyone can afford a mcdouble. A depression will just widen their customer base.

I survived without a cell phone when I was younger

My socialist friend chooses to NOT mention the result of the government spending money it does not have devalues the dollar resulting in inflation. Real inflation is well above 10% and that punishes everyone with a savings account or trying to survive on a fixed income (millions of pensions) and also those attempting to save for a house down payment. If unrestrained government spending created great prosperity the Average American would be living far better today than they did decades ago and they ARE NOT! People are working longer and harder for less! The retirement age was pushed up, pensions are disappearing and are underfunded, citizens are losing purchasing power and the stage is set for some very hard times. Look around you can you find anything in your house or office made in America? There are no free rides kids! If you believe the government can spend unlimited counterfeited currency you are misinformed. We are a nation in decline! As for social security, the program is poorly managed (robbed) and underfunded. Our present dismal economic circumstance is the direct result of several rounds of QE and stimulus payments. Hello? But what do I know? A cup of coffee at Waffle House is currently $2.75 add tax and tip $3.40. Chuckle. Good luck with that kids. The proverbial chickens are coming home to roost. I stopped by Hardees last week for a Sausage Breakfast Combo - over $8.00. Bottom line? I am "retired" and I won't be going out for breakfast as often and I have far more resources than the average citizen. Cheers!

It would make money worth something again teach people the value of life

Just Print Money

I hope we do maybe if it's worse than Mexico here they'll all go back

This video was good up to the point where you began to speculate on how a Great Depression would be positive for America. The country today is not what it was in the 1930's. By the way, our country is actually in the early stages of the Mother of All Recessions, which will be more like a Depression,. Simultaneously there are food shortages due to various factors including fertilizer shortages and weather events that have adversely affected crops, not to mention the government giving farmers incentives to destroy crops, rather than bring them to market. Then there is the unimaginable national debt of $31.6 trillion and rising every day through out of control spending. Not to mention that inflation is out of control, and so is government corruption. Added to that is the dollar about to collapse. Then we have the fact that the US Treasurer reported in May that unless Congress passed legislation to raise the debt ceiling, the Treasury would run out of cash by June and not be able to pay it's bills (such as Social Security checks, Medicare, etc). Therefore, the economic crisis combined with all the other factors (and more) make this upcoming storm one of humongous proportions. These are signs of the times. Get ready people, Jesus is coming back very soon. Repent for the Kingdom of God is near, and give you r life to the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our only hope.

Are economic collapse is inevitable

People get right with God as we head into 2023,only God to save,protect,preserve and take care of His children He God knows by name Amen ..

We are going to have a construction boom in 2023 .and a boom in farming. Oil ,electric cars, we are going to be just fine .we need more electric bicycles manufactured in the USA And more manufacturers of everything including machinery for manufacturing. We did it before and we can do it again. Crypto currency well not so much.

Dont get depressed, give yourself a bit recess and refresh afterward...relax, God is till in full control, not WEF...

Don't worry, there won't be another one, cause it won't survive this one!!! He he he!

I don't know if great depression is nearby but recession in private property with class relation might remain unheard before it comes or capitalism might go away from differently due to being catastrophic with nature

We can only hope that it will happend in usa and that it will take many many years for them to come back. The only thing usa government wants to spend endless money on is military. It would be a great country if they took home every soldier to american land and cut down the budget drastic

Well u r gona have to learn sink or swim. We r a spoiled country

Where would the government get the money for these projects this time? Thats the issue. They are BROKE! This collapse is coming from the careless spending and overprinting of money. And socialized healthcare is a dream just like communism. I did enjoy seeing that Al Borland had a son though.

This country will go *POOF* overnight.

it will just send more money over seas...

I think Biden and Hairass shoul announce they dont intend to run and Hairass wants to return to civilian life and open the convention to nomination n thhe Dems would have a better chance.

IF THE SOLDIER 🪖🇺🇸 FAILS IT'S THE GENERAL'S FAULT?🤔

Oregon has a bill that gives food stamps to illegals.

Let's go Brandon

Wow, this video makes me feel embarrassed for you. 1) The assumption that people would move to cities looking for work is basically just copy-pasting what happened in the 1930’s with no actual analysis or intelligence applied. The motivators that existed then do not exist now. The high cost of living in large modern urban centers combined with the post-COVID wage leveling enabled by remote work (which has impacted even non-remote jobs) will push people away from areas with high cost of living. A ruralization is far more likely than an urban migration. 2) Your knowledge of the Great Depression seems to have been obtained from a low-quality highschool history teacher. WWII did not end the Great Depression, it prolonged it. The nature of the war created a vacuum of information regarding market wages and employment, which is used by warmongers to support a war-good narrative. In reality it was the end of WWII, at which point the industry of almost the entire world had been destroyed, that rescued the United States economy. It’s hard to fail when you control 51% of global production capacity and everyone is paying you to rebuild their flattened nations. It was not the creation of massive war debt, forced-labor production lines, wage controls or food rationing that ended the Great Depression, it was the actual physical destruction of civilization across the rest of the planet. 3) Social Security is one of the most detrimental instruments to the financial wellbeing of every American. Every penny sucked into that program and spit out to retirees at zero gain is a net economic loss. Only someone economically illiterate would think Social Security is in any way better than a retirement investment account, even a forced one. You would probably think Payday Loans were a good thing if they had United States Government printed on them.

the amount of copium is off the charts in this video.

Larger cities are dangerous cities

Let's Go Brandon FJB

Sounds like Socialism at its finest

first!

It would be awesome CUASE I will take advantage of this situation... Women would hang out with you for a hot dog...

Did you just wake up? The depression of 2019 started when Trump listened to his Dr. Fauci & his own family!

I'm going to ruffle a lot of feathers for saying this but we need a collapse. Folks have lost the meaning of community, building together and working together. A non technological society will force folks to use their brains and not rely on A.I. for basic living.

Are you a Communist?

I welcome the next great depression

The Covid-19 pandemic saw people fleeing the cities for the perceived safety of the countryside. This would also happen in a depression as people would flee from crime ridden big cities and away from high rents to places they could afford. Since monetary assistance will flow into bank accounts and debit cards, there isn't a need to stand in a bread line in a city anymore. The homeless camps in big cities is not due to economics as there are more economic opportunities outside of the urban core areas, it has to do with drugs, mental illness, and lifestyle choices. Rationally someone would move from a high expense area to a cheaper area if it makes economic sense. The great migration during the depression was due to landless people (sharecroppers, farms taken back by the bank, and failed crops) that migrated to the cities for jobs. However, there has been an even larger migration for decades from the countryside to the city, there are no more people to flow from the countryside into the cities, so you would see a reverse flow.
