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. 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. 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. 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.

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.

Interesting post. With the U.S. Midterm Elections coming up, it’s time again to rally your friends and family to fulfill their civic duty at the voting booths on November 4th. Considering the possibility that the Senate will flip parties, this will be a particularly important election to vote in.
Coincidentally, I’ve been working with the UT Energy Poll on their latest poll for the past month, and I’ve had the chance to preview the issues that Americans think are important in this upcoming election. This nationally representative poll asks Americans the question, “Where is it most important for the U.S. government to spend your tax dollars?,” and they’re given 8 options:
Education
Energy
Environment
Health care
Infrastructure development/maintenance
Job creation
Military and defense
Social Security
We then break the answers down by various categories such as gender, political affiliation, level of education, etc. to see where Americans differ — and agree — in opinion. One of the most striking disparities in opinion revealed itself when we looked at the responses by age:
The divide in priorities between young and old Americans couldn’t be clearer: Older Americans overwhelmingly want their tax dollars spent on Social Security, military, and defense, whereas younger millennials prefer to see their tax dollars invested in job creation and education.
This data adds to the pile of data demonstrating the growing divide between millennials and older generations. It seems that the millennial vs. older generation conflict reaches far beyond the working your way through college debate: millennials are tired of war-mongering in foreign countries and want to see those tax dollars invested at home instead, whereas their parents and grandparents are content to maintain the status quo as long as their own retirement is taken care of.
With the tendency for 65+ year olds to turn out to vote far more than younger Americans, this divide could spell serious trouble for millennials who are struggling to find a job and pay off their college debt. Add in the fact that nearly half of the Senate falls into the 65+ age category and it’s really no wonder that millennials feel vastly underrepresented in politics.
Want to change the status quo? Get out to vote on November 4th.
