think about the manefactories tho

most of them are still in china

most of the great depression was FDR's fault

didnt he literally fix it

like think of how socialist countries fuck shit up

no he made it worse

day 1 in the manila containment zone : so far less traffic due to less people outside and lots of asian food places have closed down

"Meeting new people in social situations makes me slightly anxious"

Im pretty sure every1 can "slightly agree" to that

great depression would have gone away on its own

also betting trump is gonna get blamed for this

100% he will

@Ayylmao oh right you are filipino

just like how bush got blamed for katrina

I mean he partialy is

even though katrina was the shitty local government's fault

considering how he thinks corona is no big deal

and they even went to prison for it

Ironically Harding did the right thing in his depression: freed the market/ downsized the gov't

if he thinks corona is no big deal, why are things changing to deal with it?

maybe he changed his opinion by now idk

```President Harding's laissez-faire economic policies during the 1920–21 recession, combined with a coordinated aggressive policy of rapid government downsizing, had a direct influence on the rapid and widespread private-sector recovery. Woods argued that, as there were massive distortions in private markets due to government economic influence related to demands of World War I, an equally massive correction to the distortions needed to occur as quickly as possible to realign investment and consumption with the new peacetime economic environment.```

but I recall him saiyng it's no big deal

great depression also affected europe and I'm sure they made things worse

he's scared of it and doesnt know how to deal with it, so his first approach of down playing it wasnt working, and now he's doing the other extreme of overprepping kinda

blocking all travel in to the US from europe is a pretty big deal

the world economy was reliant on america

almost like now

althrough its good that citizens can still travel

you see where im going with this

the only thing missing is a great natural disaster that shuts down wide section of the industry

oh wait

corona

the question isn't what happens and how it affects us

it's what we do about it that makes the real difference

temple is cancer I'm hiding in here

i remember talking to a bernie bro

and he said that FDR was "The most badass leader of the 20th century"

loved by progressives and boomers in equal measure

look i'm not even that much on the FDR hate train but... most badass man of the century?
