Maybe we'll all be living like this if Joe Biden stays in office too long. You'll have nothing nd like it. The ladies at 3:10 don't look as if they've missed a meal.
Snappy stuff, I have no clue why this arrived in my doorstep. One thing that events like this caused in my country was that they made anything that wasnt right in the city a hella of a lot more rural. With everyone having to rely on each other and the shit they find on the floor.
Can’t wait for the next Great Depression. It starts in 2 weeks, and the Biden Administration has decided to name it “America’s transition to a golden age.”
Incredibly honest photography. Heart breaking to document such hardship, but we all can appreciate their social concern and realism. Great selection of pictures by this wonderful website.
When todays children and teenagers pester their parents for the latest video games or fashion clothing they need to be shown photos a film footage about these times in the mid 1930's. It was much the same throughout the western world. Then it might give them a different outlook as to how ell off they actually are.
This is very beautiful in a heart wrenching way. I keep a few old pieces in my home of this life, not because it looks nice, which it does, but as a physical reminder that no mater how bad things might seem for me, it is not the hardship the pieces represent. Odd probably, but my truth. The photographs mean so much. Thank you for sharing them💛💛
One day after people all our garbage will sit and collect dust.dust to dust!!!!and the earth will sigh of relief that we're gone.then earth will recover and be a better place without the evil of mankind.
My grandma and grandpa were share croppers and lived in a share croppers shack they had plank floors and they were spaced too far apart they could see the chickens going under the house had coal oil lamps and a wood stove for heat and cooking they lost 2 children during that time period if it hadn’t been for the Lord they wouldn’t have made it
I lived in Norman Oklahoma and worked at Tinker AF Base in Oklahoma City. These pictures remind all of us of a harder time in the growth of our country. They also remind me of many countries around the world that are still developing and suffering this kind of poverty today.

Do we have one showing the other side of the economy ? The difference would be a striking counterpoint to this.
If Biden was president then, it wouldnt have been called a depression

I am glad photographers documented the hardships of these times. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Count your blessings.🗽👍
My parents and Grandparents lived through this. You have no idea what hell is like until you live it. Looks like we are heading that way now.
Where in Oklahoma were these taken? Very interesting photos.

It was the way I grew up. Painful, haunting. I moved past it.

One thing about it, people that lived like that didn't need 4 or 5 kids!!
