What will the US look like if it goes into a great economical depression?

By comparison to most not sure much would change.
Prices would rise; manufacturing would grind to a halt; its the job losses and the collapse of the banking system that would likely do the damage.

All those mortgages and bank loans likely to be called in.
Repossessions.
Homelessness in record numbers.
Welcome back to the 1930's

@Picklebobble2 They are completely out of touch with their constituency. I'm still waiting on our majesty's promise to drain the swamp. 🙄

@SW-User Have to confess I did have a chuckle at that idea.
And look who is in that swamp today !
I think we all knew 2016-20 was going to be difficult and nobody thought we'd be at the mercy of this virus thing. But when Trump is still trying to dump on the last administration four years into his own.....

@Picklebobble2 Deflection has always been his M.O.

There will be no United States as known in our lifetime . And I mean NO United States literally. Pre-Civil War we were "These" United States after the Civil War we were "The" United States.. Soon it will be an evolutionary free-for-all and only the fittest will survive... I recommend buying a gun.

Everyone in my house has and is proficient with a glock and a pump shotgun with extra shell or slug capacity and we stock various ammunition for both. Everyone has the exact same weapons for ease of use and not having to stock too many types of ammunition. We all go to the range together regularly. Hopefully none will be needed however it would be horrible to need and not have. @GERRI

Mostly the same as usual, but with larger tent cities and nationwide riots. When people are barely hanging on, they scramble to stay alive and quietly take what they're given. When they're cut off entirely, they bash heads in.

I imagine a lot of people will be starving and homeless 🤔. I could be wrong though.

Depressing.
Check out the novels and films set in the period 1929-33.
Despite the changes in technology, it will be very similar.

The 1930's. No work, people starving, extreme poverty.

I don’t think that will happen because the red states are opening pretty fast.
