And you think we had it bad this time? This was nothing compared to 1938. I live on the south shore of Long Island and-eerily-recognized one of the bridges at 1:40. History is scary.
@infonote Works Project Administration...back then there was the Great Depression with millions out of work so the government created jobs for people to work on bridges, roads, dams and things like that...lots of infrastructure was built while also putting money in peoples pockets so it was good for government and people...today the government is to screwed up to do anything...Ciao!
Gotta love nature's fury. It's the only thing that keeps us humans in line (temporarily anyway) and lets us know our place in the scheme of the planet. It's human nature to still think we can do what we want and build/go where we want.
