So when we look back at historical records and see ‘at 7 he had polio’ or whatever we think that’s crazy when in reality so did another 9 boys in his class who went on to no fame

    @@app103 you guys really nailed the analysis with breaking this down. My mother was sick when she gave birth to me, which required me to be put on antibiotics during the first two weeks after I was born, so my immune system didn’t have the opportunity to develop like most people. I was frequently ill throughout my childhood, and my mother had chosen to homeschool me from the beginning of my education. Long story short, I was managing an institutional trading desk (primarily concentrating on derivative products) by the time I was 20. When everyone wants to bet against you as you’re growing up (ex. Always being picked last, etc), you decide to either accept mediocrity or prove everyone dead wrong. People always regret betting against the person they assumed would be a nobody, once they realize that they could have been one of the people remembered for supporting that person along the way. I’m 27 now, yet haven’t come close to doing anything I myself consider to be impressive yet. Impossible is just a word for people that lack imagination.

Until about 100 years ago (or a little less), children as young as 9 were already working in factories - fields before that.

Edison's stockholders got tired of the War of the Currents (in no small part because the AC competition was making bigger profits, business blame that really _could_ be placed on Edison's shoulders), so they collectively forced him out and merged the company with... uh... that other really big one at the time that escapes me right now xD, forming General Electric.

Yes they have allot of money and power and yes they keep things secret but it is for our own good. They stand almost alone in a very hard battle every single minute to make sure our economy keeps going . The US is the destination of investment money from all over the world and that is allot of risk involved with that responsibility so you need a strong and independent organization like the Fed to fulfill that honor. If there would be one mistake the money will flee the US and probably send the country in to decades of financial trouble. The FED is really critical piece and auditing it could cause massive chaos which cant be allowed to happen if we want to keep living the way we do. Conspiracy believers just don't understand the implications of auditing an organization holding our economy country together and the more you learn that then are on your side the less sense that makes.

    The only demographic under a 99% recovery rate are elderly with pre-existing conditions - precisely the people most succeptible to flus already. Treated or not, many flus have been far worse than covid-19 - much of the 'BIG FEAR' about it is internet-driven. The damage ~everyone~ bears from it is politically-exacerbated economic turmoil. Panic/unpreparedness exacerbates anything, as evidenced by the stats/riots/murders in areas under Democrat 'leadership'.

    Nope it's only usually came when conservative govts deregulated wall Street & the market, letting the speculation run rampant. I think people don't realise how frequent financial disasters were happening before federal Reserve. We had a brutal depression when Andrew Jackson "killed the bank", didn't renew then national banking system. Then almost every 5 year US had economic crash of some kind. A central banking system over looking rest of the small & medium size banks is a must necessary system in every country. But that central banking system shouldn't be completely outside the jurisdiction of the national government.

Crashes are part of the system and no amount of central planning can change that. How do you expect a small group of people to possible know how to manage a system of millions of people? They can't. Theres a reason why they didn't want a central bank. They weren't stupid people who were ignorant about financials.

I dont know what makes you think a handful of people have the knowledge or expertise to manage a constantly changing economy of about 340 million which is further connected to an economy of more than 7 billion. Economies crash. It's part of the system and no government agency can change that which is why they always fail in doing so.

Its growth in the Northeast part of America (at his guidance) would cause a bunch of issues for that railroad later in its life. And at the end. The New York New Have & Hartford Railroad would be merged into the Penn Central until its collapse.
