🇺🇸 The United States has been hit by a wave of bank failures and stock crashes in recent days, despite the president's claims that the banking system is safe. Donald Trump has said that Joe Biden will become the Herbert Hoover of the modern era, heralding the next, more powerful Great Depression.
⏳ Last time, the Great Depression lasted from 1929 to the late 1930s. It was a severe economic downturn that affected countries worldwide.
