    Look how nicely people are dressed, how clean the streets and the service stations are. This is when folks had pride in their life and their property. How we, as a society, have changed in the past 90 years and not for the better.

      you realize we can show off the best pictures of any decade at any time. Even in 2023 we can show the best pictures of 'how great' everything is. Those 1930 pictures are beautiful but in no way represent the real history of the 1930s.

      @@voodoodisco They absolutely do. Even in poor areas people dressed up nicely when going out. People kept their yards clean and it was part of societal norms not to litter. My great grandparents and grandparents lived in Detroit, Michigan and they didn't even have locks installed on their doors well into the 1950s. They were not rich but kept their small homes kept up at all times and they talked about how they would get dressed up and go downtown for shopping and lunch in an environment of practically zero crime. The issue is you want to keep telling yourself things aren't so bad so that you don't have to face the hell hole you live in now or do what is necessary to fix that problem. There is a solution, but that solution is brutal.

      @@firepower7654 Well said. Shallow souls like the one you responded to have to lie to themselves and claim that things were never objectively better, because confronting the reality of what we have lost (or more accurately, what has been taken from us) would probably cause an existential crisis. I was born in the mid 80s and the general quality of life has gotten significantly worse over my lifetime, and went into a freefall in the mid 2010s. But as long as people have creature comforts and technological distractions (that offer short term pleasure at the expense of the long term) they will continue deceiving themselves.

There was some relief, more than my expectations. The political path won't lead towards state mafia dissolution, its just to grant us some time to develop agorism. So even if he's "controlled opposition", its better than nothing. At least it may serve to awaken the rest who still expecting something from politicians.
      Besides, they're putting so much effort to take him out its pathetic. I don't think, given how powerful they are, they'd bother with such theatrics. Otherwise they'd get Ron DeSantis, he's the controlled opposition.

The outsider candidate, Bolsonaro, did a much better than expected job, despite 3 years of pand3mic, just to have the narco-socialists back in power and destroy everything he built in 8 months. Over 1k people are still in jail for demanding to see the source codes from electronic urns, which was refused and they were arrested for "antidemocratic terror1sm" for doing hideous things like singing the national anthem.
      Bolsonaro is very silent so I wonder if he gave up or if he was controlled opposition, because he had chances to do something but let things escalate like this and now it's all lost.

    I didn't know Manhattan looked like that in the 30's. That is super impressive

    In the middle of the depression and fewer homeless people than now. God help us.

      Not true; many large cities had areas known as "hoovervilles". It only seems like fewer because the cities werent' as overly tolerant of pup tents on the sidewalk as they are today.

      They only showed nicer scenes. Not everyone suffered during the Great Depression.

      There were many homeless…poverty was rampant. The Great Depression…The Dust Bowl - many children didn’t survive childhood, lifespans were shorter…these images are interesting and there were definitely things that were better, but it’s all relative, really.
