2024-01-04 04:14:39 +0000 UTCChris glitches the headline, "Dewey Defeats Truman". It was the Chicago Daily Tribune, not the Chicago Daily. It was still the Tribune when I was a Chicago kid in the 70s.

2023-12-23 15:51:53 +0000 UTCAm I missing something? The last episode ended on Hoover but this episode starts on FDR's 4th term?

Thankyou For Reading Out My Name In This Accent
2023-12-20 23:06:32 +0000 UTCWho is the French guy mentioned at 1:47:14? Couldn't figure out how to spell the last name well enough to google it

2023-12-14 17:06:25 +0000 UTCHes still a lil bitch for it, but he's the guy who basically leads us to the current moment. Even the neolibs have never moved past him: the best thing they can do is to pretend that they're not keynesians.

2023-12-12 19:18:15 +0000 UTCKeynes is a fascinating nerd. Like, he's fundamentally skeptical of markets as a social mechanism, but he's still ideologically committed to the vision of liberalism and individualism.

2023-12-12 19:16:10 +0000 UTCI really just LOVE the Flint sit-down strike's official song "Sit Down!" Someone needs to cover this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVrxruRTtDA (CHORUS:) Sit down, just take a seat, Sit down, and rest your feet, Sit down, you've got 'em beat. Sit down! Sit down! When they tie the can to a union man, Sit down! Sit down! When they give him them sack, they'll take him back. Sit down! Sit down! (CHORUS) When they smile and say, "No raise in pay." Sit down! Sit down! When you want the boss to come across. Sit down! Sit down! (CHORUS) When the speed-up comes, just twiddle your thumbs. Sit down! Sit down! When you want them to know they'd better go slow. Sit down! Sit down! This song was originally posted on protestsonglyrics.net (CHORUS) When the boss won't talk, don't take a walk. Sit down! Sit down! When the boss sees that, he'll want a little chat. Sit down! Sit down! (CHORUS)

2023-12-08 15:29:24 +0000 UTCThe Devil's in the details, but I'd guess that if the federal government failed in its attempted mobilization, the Midwest would have been rendered ungovernable by business cliques as you described, and both Shirt-type movements and anarchist groups would have risen to prominence in the cities. Remember, FDR was almost taken out by an anarchist-- they definitely had networks, connections and scaling capacity back then.

2023-12-08 05:58:42 +0000 UTCI think that few unread realize that the new 'deal' was based on the American people being dealt an unfair hand at the table.
John Mitchell
2023-12-08 01:08:56 +0000 UTCYes! When the run is finished He’ll of Presidents will be available immediately in the shop

Daniel Marchant
2023-12-07 21:00:39 +0000 UTCinteresting hinge point to consider, given the weird support for the nazis from the american business elite leading up to pearl harbor, if the new deal failed to materialize would the conditions have been set to tip us over into full embrace of fascism?

2023-12-07 20:00:46 +0000 UTCI'm loving this series. Will it be available to buy as a series like Movie Mindset and Hell on Earth? It would make a great gift (and intro to the Trap) for a couple of my history buff friends...

2023-12-07 18:11:43 +0000 UTCI loved this episode. Any additional recommended reading on The New Deal?

2023-12-07 13:54:36 +0000 UTCwas Ivar the Boneless the FDR of his time?

2023-12-07 11:03:56 +0000 UTCmost iconic valve foleys actually come from established sound libraries. valve rarely does their own soundwork.

2023-12-06 23:54:58 +0000 UTCloving this episode, FDR is probably my favorite president and it's awesome to learn so much about the New Deal. i gotta ask, are a lot of the gunshot noises from Team Fortress 2? i feel like i've heard a stock scattergun twice in this one, and Force-a-Nature shots during the Civil War episodes. am i crazy?
