Ever hear of The New Deal?

It was necessary because many, many US citizens hit hard by The Great Depression figured out in that time how to live without depending on regular (or any) work.

Tent cities; hunting; scavenging; farming; begging; stealing; mutual aid networks; etc.

It wasn't the best life, but for many it was found to be preferable to the factories or the docks.

To even consider returning to living a life dependent on a wage, Uncle Sam needed to offer them a new deal.

We've since invented air conditioning (among other things), so I doubt this is a relevant point.

[acuozzo → Zetice]

Air conditioning existed prior to The Great Depression.

So? The AC you’re referring to isn’t what is cooling my home right now, nor is it what will stop people from deciding to live in the woods.

But you knew that.
