The document discusses the impact of the Great Depression in the United States. It led to widespread unemployment in cities, with many relying on bread lines for food. Rural areas were also deeply affected, with many farmers losing their land and over 1 million becoming tenant farmers between 1930-1934. The Dust Bowl destroyed millions of acres of farmland in the Great Plains, forcing many farmers nicknamed "Okies" to leave their homes in search of work. The Depression had profound social impacts as well, including falling birth rates, family breakdowns, and increased hardships for minorities.

We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Millions of tons of topsoil were blown away
in giant dust storms.
• Farmers had dug up thick prairie grasses to plant
wheat so there was nothing to hold the soil in place.
• 100 mile-per-hour winds blew dust clouds 8,000 feet
tall in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado.
• Wildlife and farm animals suffocated in the choking
winds.

Farmers who
had lost their
land, called
Okies regardless
of where they
were from, were
forced to leave.
In old trucks, they moved
west or to northern cities.
800,000 Okies left Texas,
Oklahoma, Missouri, and
Arkansas alone. Rural
states lost population
during the 1930s.
Those who could afford
it bought distressed
neighbors’ farms at low
prices to build expanded
commercial farms.
