Alabama During the Great Depression

Alabama was lowkey struggling through the Great Depression, with a skibidi level of unemployment that was off the charts, especially in Birmingham, the goon capital of hardship. The workforce dropped from 100,000 to 15,000, which is sigma levels of despair. Stowaways were literally being kicked out like unwanted toilet guests, with over 27,000 people booted from freight cars in just one year. Cotton farms were drowning in boll weevils, and tenant farmers were hanging on by a thread, feeling the edge of mechanization as tractors threatened their livelihoods. Meanwhile, cars were zooming by like dank memes, while some folks still held onto mules, caught in a tug of war between old and new.
