Sorry, this post is too subversive. We will be taking it down shortly.

I'd agree that he greatly extended The Great Depression and made it worse, but Herbert Hoover was also pretty interventionist and had some pretty terrible policies during his term. The stories of farmers producing milk and pouring it down the drain were under his watch; they had some dogma against deflation at the time.

This is a good alternate history of The Great Depression which does not idolize FDR as usual, but shows him as the bumbling technocrat that he was.

In particular: Herbert Hoover wanted to do the bank holiday ASAP to stabilize markets, but FDR literally wouldn't return his calls. FDR wanted to wait until after he was in office, so he would get the credit for it.

For a second I thought it was Gulliver sitting amongst all the Liliputians running around :-)

to be fair, Bitcoin Miami 2021 was pretty much the same .. Major keynotes happening inside while a huge line of people waited outside, just trying to get in ..

Then you grow up, and realize that the grownups who seem most sure are mostly repeating what they saw on a screen somewhere.

This explains the entirety of the Covid years.

JUst gave a listen, pretty freakin awesome .. AND they're out on tour now!!! :-)

Who is this guy? Is he influential? Or is he marginalized, similar to how they've treated Ron Paul for years?
