Timothy Egan's worst moment tells the story of farmers who decided to prosper in the plains of Texas, Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma in the 19th century. They decided to make a living, and they were there during the worst drought in the United States in the 1930s. A high temperature and dust storm destroyed this area and killed animals and human beings. This powerful book reveals the prosperity of many people and later reveals the age of thin cattle. The story is through survivor's testimony, their diary and diary, historical research. The author explains the struggle of the elderly. There, Egan expressly condemns these catastrophic events about the settlers' arrogance.

These dualities are everywhere. Today's politics, well-known "best times and worst times" take. It is difficult to remember the moment when a person was not bombarded in a 24-hour, 365-day news cycle due to trafficking, lying, scandalous, violent, injustice and fear of environmental hazards. But can you believe that eradication of diseases based on violence, poverty reduction, life expectancy, death is going in the right direction? Will these two statements be established? Charlie Munger said: "The best thinker can hold two opposing opinions at the same time." This sounds obvious, but why is it so difficult? First of all, it requires a lot of spiritual energy. It's easier to read another article that reinforces your beliefs and call it a day. Or ignore the idea contradictory to your view of the world. Secondly, we are people looking for status and our desire to accept tribes is deeply integrated into our DNA.

In the second half of the "worst difficult time" ("Betrayal, 1931 - 1933"), Egan details the events that caused the settlers of Dustg to enter the times of distrust and confusion. The bank killed industrious farmers, kept customers' lives and closed them. The crowd asked to knock the door of the bank or open the door to the sheriff, but many bankers, farmers once thought that their friends and neighbors left the town. Local farmers were broken and hungry and asked President Huber to supply it to at least the hungry family of the Great Depression and buy their food, but Huber refused. The lack of sympathy for farmers broke Hoover in 1932 with overwhelming domination of Franklin Roosevelt. When Roosevelt grabbed the regime, he immediately called Congress and signed the "Emergency Banking Act". This proves that (after the government oversees the bank, they prove that they have payment capacity) Roosevelt's strategy is effective
