Answer 2

The stock-market crash (24 and 29 October) had virtually no effect on their decade. Their impact would be felt in the next.

Major events in the 20s US were mostly ballyhoo, as they are now, the Anna Nicole kind of thing.

Charles Lindburg landing in Paris after eating a bunch of sandwiches, that was the kind of thing people got served in the 20s.

Al Capone figured in, as he was the guy who brought you illegal beer if you lived anywhere near Chicago, but he never got caught for it.

Floyd Collins, slowly dying in a Kentucky cave in 1926, was the major event of the year, and also led to Billy Wilder's finest satire, Ace in the Hole, which drew blanks at the box office 25 years later.

There was a lot of ferment going on in Germany and Japan, but nobody much cared. Stalin drove Trotsky out of the USSR, but nobody much cared.

There was a big trial in rural Tennessee in 1925 concerning the right to teach outside the bible, but that argument is still going on in Tennessee 80 years later, so who cares?

People were actually much more interested in a New Jersey housewife who got her loverwimp to murder her husband.

I would actually name the 20s the "who cares?" decade, but then what should I call the present one?
