No mention of the influenza epidemic?
That alone would mark 1919 as a very bad year.

Well it sort of got us out of the Depression; in a way.

Don’t forget the flu pandemic that continued through to 1920.

Earthquakes are better than hurricanes because BAM and they’re over. Hurricanes go on and on.
Pearl Harbor was an earthquake. The crap happening in 1919 was a hurricane.

Not to mention the 19th amendment was passed by Congress in 1919... On balance, it was a bad thing.

I wonder if the guys on the USS Arizona thought 1919 was worse.

1919 was the worse year in US history? I'd say any year between 1861 and 1865 was worse.

On balance you’re right much as I hate saying it. The Rats would not win another election and it would not be legal to kill an 8 month old baby period.
