"33" on the Rolling Rock Can | The Bottom of the Great Depression, the End of Prohibition | Our Future Foretold

The bottom of the Great Depression, 1933, was the same year that 'Prohibition' ended.  It was also the same year Newsweek was established and Indian and Harley became the only remaining motorcycle companies in the United States of America.  Do you know what Newsweek, Indian and Harley all have in common?  If you guessed 33, give yourself a pat on the back.

• Newsweek = 5+5+5+1+5+5+5+2 = 33
• Indian = 9+5+4+9+1+5 = 33
• Harley = 8+1+9+3+5+7 = 33
• This is the short list.

And if you think this is a coincidence, well... cheers to you, we should share a Rolling Rock sometime.  With that said, take notice that other major beer bottling companies are coding the number 33 into their product, from Miller to Tsingtao.

• Miller = 4+9+3+3+5+9 = 33
• Tsingtao = 2+1+9+5+7+2+1+6 = 33

The Future
What can this tell us about the future?  Well, let's think marijuana for a second, in the present day.  Right now our economy is on the verge of a major collapse.  The DowJones is through the roof, but mainstream America is losing roof space.

• DowJones = 4+6+5+1+6+5+5+1 = 33

That means things are out of balance, and when they're out of balance, and looking eerie (like they do now), dominoes usually tumble.  If you look at history, it has happened here before.  That is what was going on in the year 1933, when the bottom of the Great Depression had been reached, and under such conditions the country had to end prohibition, and sedate the people with alcohol, which spurned on a nation of drunkards; better known as our collective ancestors... our family, our friends, our neighbors.

Currently in the mainstream press, they're making a major case for medical marijuana, a sharp contrast from media of the past, which told children that smoking marijuana was like scrambling an egg... but the egg was your brain?  Pure nonsense, "pure 33".  While I do like the prospect of legal marijuana, I do not like the prospect of it coming about after a terribly devastated nation from a horrible economic dip and recession, much like the one that occurred nearly a century earlier.
