- Stock Market Crash
- The stock market crashed a few days ago (October 24, 1929) and many of us lost tons of money! Our economy's plummeting and we lost our jobs because our employers over-produced and don't need many of us anymore. We're going to have to start selling the things we own just to get food on the table!
- Too Much Dependence on the United States
- Our dependence on the United States has caused us to fall into an even greater economic depression. Tariffs are heavy and the lack of goods travelling between the two countries is worrying. Many industries are in trouble, especially due to locals not being able to buy our product either.
- The Dust Bowl
- The recent droughts and poor farming practices have led to the Dust Bowl that has struck our prairies. Many farmers have had to leave home and come to the cities due to the inability to grow crops on their land. The streets are continuing to fill with people and it's looking worse and worse. We have very little produce available and not very much, if any, coming from other countries.
