A great depression is essentially inevitable in the late 1920's or early 1930's. Given that, what could happen either in the months before it starts, or soon afterwards, to seriously mitigate its effects? POD no more than one year before things fall apart. How much less severe could it be with no ASB's involved, although a bit of inspiration on someone's part is allowed. The POD can also be after it happens, as a plan, program, or whaever that reduces the effects.

Could things be on the upswing within a few years, and not collapse again any time soon?

And--could someone with a lot of wealth who sees that the bubble will burst at some point mitigate the effects nationwide or beyond? (Obviously, someone with wealth can find ways to increase his own personal fortune if a collapse is forcast.)

When answering, remember that the POD is only one year before Black Tuesday, or Black whatever, if butterflies from the POD change the date it happens.
