I hope not, my parents were teenagers at the time, my fathers life was terrible back then, he had to join the CCC to survive and to help out his family.

He had told me working with the CCC was not a bed of roses and he saw many terrible accidents to some of the workers. But he was glad it existed.

Also, back then, I believe people were on average stronger and more resilient people alive today. Having such a crash will be far worse for society then 1929.

There you go, that is the clue.

This is why I have always said every year to not have any "new years resolutions" and instead prepare for 2030. [0]
