The irony of this is that the “okies” with cars during the great depression that The Grapes of Wrath depict are the people WITH money! Only the people with money could even afford a car in the late 20s and early 30s. If you look at photos from that time, its hard to tell because the photos are black and white but the women are largely wearing fur and jewelry! Desperate sure but hardly anyone that left started poor. The real poor people were the 25% of the population that couldn’t afford to leave.
