17. Explain how we have been through worse?
You cannot compare this to the great depression in any sense. It was not even close to the same as it is now and to even try to say we have benn through worse is utter none sense and all it is is a talking point that means absolutely nothing.

Look around, we have perhaps 10 times the population , we don't have factories ready to go , they are not just closed they are gone. Many other countries have nukes now. The education system is crap. We have a complete global economy now.

So just how have we been through worse? What are you using to compare this to?

We had a real media then and people knew where they stood and people were much in the same boat where we are not now. Corporations did not amount to a few who owned and controlled everything .

If I hear this again I'll go mad. It's insane news speak.

The list is endless of how different it is now than then , endless.
