I have no idea what you were talking about, but it has a lot to do with what I was talking about. Maybe you'd be happier if you didn't bother trying to read what I wrote, and left it to people who are interested, if there are any. I have no idea whether anybody is actually interested, but I, personally, don't post to people unless 1) what they wrote interests me, or 2) they post to me.
You're in category #2. I never post to you unless you post to me first.
As for the statistic - if you ever had any intellectual curiousity about what the Great Depression meant, agriculture was the most important industry in the country, and the total income for agriculture in 1928 was about $80 million, and in 1932, it was less than $6 million. In 1933, it started back up again, which refutes the tractor argument, although if you don't see it I am not going to draw the lines for you. But that's not my real point. Similar figures can be found in every industry in the country. The devastation is almost unimaginable. |
