While we're trolling future historians, let's rewrite the history books to say that the Great Depression was just a period where everyone was really sad for some reason. It was a mental health epidemic, not an economic crisis.

I mean, The Great Depression probably did make a bunch of people sad.

nah not even depression, just sad enough that we stopped working for a few years, and the eventually decided we should probably start working again lmao.
