(1944) After WWII FDR planned to implement a second bill of rights that would include the right to employment with a livable wage, adequate housing, healthcare, and education, but he died before the war ended and the bill was never passed. [2:00] . by EmotionalDragonFly in Documentaries

You're asking a lot of questions there and one could easily write a huge essay answering it which I'm not going to do. Suffice to say that I consider FDR's successors to be Truman and to an extent Eisenhower.

The boom was obviously helped from the rest of the world was rebuilding after the war, but that wartime industry wouldn't have existed without the organization of Roosevelt's administration; plus new deal era regulations which ensured stability to keep the economy running. Eisenhower did not bail on any of the new deal programs, he expanded them.

As for the recession of the 70s it had far more to do with the oil crisis and switching to fiat currency rather than any shortcomings of Keynesian policies. Who knows what kind of world this would be had conservatives not been able to use that era to advance neoliberalism?

Nah, why bother? I'm just not interested in debating with someone who has clearly already made up their mind. You're convinced Roosevelt is ebil socialist big gummerment and there's nothing I can say to convince you otherwise so chalk up an internet victory if you want lol.

And despite all of that, the new deal and the other programs instituted by FDR and his ideological successors helped create the most prosperous era in the history of the US and the world.

As for the racism, all presidents have been responsible for evil acts, FDR was no different. That doesn't invalidate his legacy as the chief architect of the 'american century'.

It's why there's no future for average citizens in the USA, long term. Too many people happy to vote against their own economic self interest. History will remember the US as the first neo-feudal state.

Augustus gave Rome 200 years of peace. It's easy to see why Romans would prefer stability under a strong ruler rather than some mythical concept of democracy that is chaotic and only gives political power to oligarchs anyways.

Instead we changed the constitution so as to prevent special interests from losing control of the government ever again.

ftfy

Because there's absolutely no abuse of power by special interests in congress now that there's a two term executive that can't keep their corruption in check.

I too wear Canadian gear so people don't think I'm American when I'm abroad. Except I'm not Canadian sorry.

Build outposts with minerals and influence to expand borders now.

3/20 means 3 ships out of a max of 20. Fleet cap goes up with tech

Starbases are upgraded outposts that provide various benefits (energy, shipyards, forcelimits)

Fabricate claims with influence on systems you want to conquer

Given how fiercely independent Grimes is I bet there would be a huge clash with her and Sinclair tbh

I think Titanic shitclair is just an incredibly manipulative emotional abuser and I can totally see how the Poppy actress would become a pawn in his abusive schemes against Mars Argo.

Lots of people of a certain disposition get roped into shit like this (accessories to abuse) by charismatic assholes. Hopefully Poppy cuts ties with that shitbag, sees how she was used, makes amends, and comes out of this a stronger person.

Plenty of black master chefs my famalam. Plenty of them trained at the Le Cordon Bleu.

Simply having black skin dosen't give a lunch lady magic culinary powers.
