It was a handjob.

Get it right.
You should like, write a story about it.
But that's why she broke up with me.

The state of the Bundesbank's influence on the monetary policy of the ECB and Mario Draghi, especially considering the depressionary economic situation of the Eurozone?

FDR, like Lincoln, is given far more credit than he should receive
I don't disagree, to be honest, but then so are some of the most popular presidents like Reagan and Clinton. I respect FDR more as a person than a politician, I'd say.

Quote
in 1933 he passed a law that  made possession of GOLD a CRIMINAL OFFENSE with a fine of $10K and up to 10 years in prison
I don't know much about the issue, but I presume you're talking about Executive Order 6102. The point was that the hoarding of gold was deflationary, and extremely limiting the capacity of monetary policy to combat the Great Depression which is widely regarded among economists - and Ben Bernanke, former Fed Chairman - as being the leading cause for the intensity of the downturn.

Quote
While we talk all how Concentration Camps in Germany were evil and infringed on people's rights, America was doing the same thing with FDR's executive order that abolished civil rights of American citizens with Japanese heritage and subjected them to Internment Camps where overcrowding, poor sanitation systems, and few available medical services was all too common
I agree that this is probably the blackest marks of FDR's tenure, but I don't think it can even begin to be compared to the devices of the Nazis and the conditions in the camps were largely dependent on whichever government entity was running it.

Quote
On the subject of violating civil rights, he violated blacks as well with the New Deal. The introduction of a minimum wage cost blacks hundreds of thousands of jobs, along with the requirement that all workers had to be part of a labor union, which were nearly based on skin color
I disagree. Blacks faired very well under the New Deal, particularly the CCC. There was certainly a race issue, and policies were unfavourable to blacks on occasion, but I think that has more to do with the fact that we're discussing 1930s America as opposed to just FDR's presidency.

Jefferson (approved Lewis and Clark exploration; doubled the size of the U.S; effectively ended importation fo slaves; First Barbary War marked America as a major international power as the first war conducted on foreign soil)

Kennedy (Gave way to American landings on Moon; Civil Right Act; Nuclear Test Ban Treaty; Handle of Cuban Missile Crisis)

Eisenhower (Interstate Highway System; reason for the space race; desegregation of military)

I'd have to say FDR, Reagan, LBJ and then Obama.

Military careers are rather productive. People go in at least for 4 years in order to come out with a specialization that can transfer over to the civilian world. Being an air traffic controller in the military will put a person at having a better chance of being a controller for a private airport and make a decent salary. Also military in general is good experience for civilian careers in emergency services

Oh yeah, absolutely. The military is a brilliant capacity to develop human capital and, indirectly, secure infrastructural development in the home country which can lead to economic growth. However, at 4pc of GDP, the military's budget is still twice the size it should preferably be and the military has, thus far, failed to modernise and come in line with technological developments.

I don't think any (intelligent) young person is arguing for an immediate reduction in the military budget without some sort of structural and operation reform from within, as well as reform to the civilian social safety net without.

If increased internet use is correlated with staying up late at night, then I can see how such a link could be drawn.

It's the same with being more intelligent, which makes you more likely to be a night-owl, which increases your risk of depression.

Other than that, there's only a few mundane explanations I can think of, but nothing particularly justifiable when it comes to this instance.

Do they understand that if they want a job, they can join the military? Advocating for a much smaller military while demanding job creations is redundant as their ideas are eliminating military careers. It's like wanting entitlements but not wanting to pay taxes
I think they favour the creation of enough jobs which are - in the first instance - productive which military jobs, to an extent, simply aren't and, in the second instance, numerous enough to offset military job losses.

The idea is to have programmes focused around training and market-supporting structures to create a healthy labour force, not having a job for the sheer sake of it.
