 DEDICATION

This album is dedicated to all bankers and lower-class individuals. The Great Depression was
a period of an economic crisis in the United States and around the world that lasted from
1929 to roughly 1939. High stock prices that were out of step with production and consumer
demand for goods resulted in a market bubble that burst in October 24, 1929, the so-called
"Black Thursday" stock market crash. Many people lost their jobs when the Great Depression
hit. As a result of many factories closing and people losing their jobs, unemployment
increased. Businesses have closed, and unemployment rises. Investors were ruined; they had
lost all of their money and were in serious debt. Investors were unable to repay their loans,
and as a result banks were unable to repay people's savings accounts.
 Modern Advice

Franklin D Roosevelt

When I decided to create to become President I wanted to make a change and help the people in need. My
advice to you is that if a pandemic were to happen you should create jobs for single adults, pay people for
natural disaster relief, jobs to repair roads and bridges, long term jobs to build schools and other projects,
provide people affordable water power, insurance to protect your money and monitor stock market activity
and ensure that no fraud or insider trading was taking place. These tips are good to follow because if a
pandemic were to happen people will lose jobs, their homes and end up in homeless shelters, etc. They will
lose so many privileges because so many places will be shut down, going out of business and not making a
profit. In addition, provide people affordable water power, and insurance to protect their money. These
advices would help the government to be able to help everyone regarding their social class.

-Franklin D Roosevelt 1930
