I remember saying in the past we could be headed towards a perfect repeat of the 1930’s: severe economic malaise and increased economic extremism that only has one final result: a general world war. And the world now—unlike the late 1930’s—still has several thousand operational nuclear weapons that could be launched and reach their targets in 30 minutes or less at minimum. Yikes.
21% of the population were farmers in the 1930’s and 43% of the total population lived in rural areas mean that most likely they grew at least some of their on food. Now days???
