in Germany. Germany's economy was bad and they had unbelievable inflation after WWI, I can see that now. But
the US economy was the envy of the world and inflation had come down.to under 3%. There is a world of
difference between 1930s Germany and 2024 US. The only explanation I have is today we have the right-wing media
and the internet. I think the last chance we have is the 2026 election or Trump dropping dead.
