Oo ooo, can I go next?
FDR wasn't the great working class champion he has been lionized as. The New Deal was a compromise that was a direct response to the working class organizing and beginning to make demands. It's purpose was to mitigate the failings of capitalism, because the contradictions could never be directly addressed. Roosevelt sided with big business, in both agriculture and banking, that added speed to consolidation of corporations we are now fully having to deal with.
What?
EBRA?
I have no idea what you mean, I don't know everything, but I feel like you may be misunderstanding something
The National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 (NIRA) included the promotion of monopolies and price-fixing, which had a negative impact on small businesses, and inadequate protection of workers' rights and collective bargaining (7a a single line).
That's legislation...

Are you mad he didn't veto it?
Or do you think FDR is soley responsible like when China killed all the sparrows and caused a famine killing millions?
That's relevant, because you're saying unintended consequences matter after all.
I just don't understand why you're blaming FDR unless you assume he had the same level of power as Mao
It was apart of Roosevelt's New Deal, his administration was the driving force behind it. Like yes it was legislation but is the point you are trying to make that the New Deal had nothing to do with FDR?
You're blaming him for one piece of legislation that had unintended consequences...
Do you blame Mao for the famine that resulted when he ordered the extermination of sparrows?
For some reason you didn't answer that
