      Tbf to ford, he had been forced by congress to not allow unions, not pay profit growth out to his workers, and to not use said profit growth for company investment by the US Gov after he was sued for doing just that. With Congress’ saying a corporation’s duty is to make profits and pay out to its shareholders. He was far from a saint but he did seem to care about America.

      @coopercounts6581 Год назад +6

      I believe its just humorous sarcasm as p much everyone loved hoover beforehand bc of his insanely good history of getting shit done and doing good things. Maybe Norris didnt think he’d do well in the political machine and would be run over by corruption and political aristocrats, that’d be the only thing I can think of, complete guesswork either way.

    • @unknownguyindo4356
      @unknownguyindo4356 9 месяцев назад +2

      I think it because Norris knew Hoover's character.
      He's a good guy and decent politician, but the Federal politics would ended up hold him back & making him a terrible President because of red tapes inefficiency.

    • @Dap1ssmonk
      @Dap1ssmonk Год назад +1

      Poltical machines would exist in a libertarian system too, they’d just be run by the companies providing the most profitable common good services. It wouldn’t be hard for whoever won the monopoly game of electricity or oil to throw their weight around and keep things in their favor. In a system without HEAVY defenses against monopolization there will always be monopolies (and even with these defenses companies will eventually find a way in once they find enough people willing to take bribes, it’s 100% treadmill work). Eventually someone is gunna get all the pieces in the board in their favor enough to take control. Lolbertarians (extremists) will always be clowns you can’t see the Forest through the trees.

      The word libertarian was invented by a french communist to describe himself. In the United States its turned into bigoted paleo-conservativism and a religious devotion to the free market to the point of turning a blind eye to monopolies, interest groups and speculation. And when bad things happen It's always the governments fault and not private profit driven actors. It's almost like Imperial Russia where everything bad was blamed on local nobles while the Tzar was considered an exalted idealistic and blameless institution. And if only he had more power everything will be better. The Tzar being private interests and the abstract idea of a"free market" in this case.
