The US House passed the new tariffs in May of 1929 and foreign trading partners began boycotting American goods. But income inequality between the rich cities and the poor rural regions was seen as the primary threat to continued prosperity and the tariffs would protect these vulnerable Americans from foreign interests. The New York Stock Exchange quivered and London crashed in September, adversely affecting American optimism in overseas investments.
I grew up on the water you know. It was the activities I always looked forward to. Wakeboarding by day. Jet skiing. Motorboating. Canoeing. Fishing. Pontooning. Then bonfires and dancing and playing music at night. All summer long there was something to do. And in the winter we ice fished. We ice skated. We skied and snowmobiled and did polar bear plunges. Water is good for the soul. There’s always something to do on it.
Jane 4.0 went on a drug cartel rampage when she woke up. And without the limitations of her dead predecessor, rampage really was an accurate term. She worked with Dixie during the Laredo campaign to destroy Los Zetas and showed up in season 2 of the show. Though the show portrayed her as more Jane 3.0 than the her that hit Nuevo Laredo in real life. The government didn’t want people to know what kind of AI they’d unleashed on the border.
The Roaring Twenties could not last forever of course. The first tremors of what would come occurred in March of 1929 when the New York Stock Exchange crashed. It was not a large crash, and it was halted when the National City Bank offered credit to those on the fence. But for perhaps the first time people realized that the economy was on shaky ground. And with new tariffs being discussed in the US House, many worried what the future had in store.
Most people I’ve met over the years love ocean beaches, the smell of salt water, and the feel of water that has traveled thousands of kilometers. They love to vacation in warm waters. I grew up in Northern Minnesota though. I love the taste of fresh water on my tongue. Cold springtime water on my skin forever reminds me of youthful days. Hotdogs sizzling on the grill as the pontoon rocks beneath you. That was my heaven.
