Wisconsin | Absolutely, many of us on here think everybody lives on a farm and has a shop where we rebuild engines every winter. It's not so, most of the US pop lives in urban or suburban areas and drives around urban and suburban areas every day. Of course most of the US pop believes uncle Joe gives them money and food comes from grocery stores, and if we recycle then polar bears won't drown. So we might have some difficulties like the guy below who suggested that transitioning from horses caused the great depression. Which is not far from reality. The teens and twenties were a boom time due to technology and finance. Sewing machines were revolutionary and were the first thing to be sold in quantity on credit. Of course cars became available on credit quite soon, and they were a reasonable investment for many people, but not everybody. The depression was a common reset of the economic cycle, the historical oddity is not the depression, but the lack of serious downturns since (with the exception of the 80's in ag possibly).
