How many people at the time would have predicted during the war(911)/recession(2008)/pandemic/depression(March2020) years that the 1920s would be one of the most innovative, prosperous periods our world had ever seen?
The 1920s ushered in the automobile, the airplane, the radio, the assembly line, the refrigerator, electric razor, washing machine, jukebox, television and more.
There was a massive stock market boom and explosion of spending by consumers the likes of which was unrivaled at the time. After the immense pressure of the Great War (Cold Wars, Middle East Wars, Civil Unrest), many people simply wanted to have fun and spend money.
I’m not trying to say our current situation is as bad as things were in the 1910s. What happened during that time frame is unthinkable compared to our current predicament.
But it’s encouraging to see what people have battled back from in the past. The fact that people were willing to shrug off such a debilitating period and turn it into one of the most optimistic decades our country has ever seen speaks volumes of our ability to continue moving forward.
Pessimism is a natural feeling when things are bleak but it never lasts.
