i've got a paper due in 12 hours about the similarities and differences of the populist movement of the 1890s and the progressive movement shortly after. additionally, i'll need to give my opinion on the "new deal" by FDR.

 

i'm just fuzzy on the motivations of the progressives. geographically it was a northern city thing, but what did they support?

 

did they care about the gold standard?

did they seek help of the black voters?

income tax policies?

what was the ideal workday for progressives?

did they support subsidies of private companies?

 

anyone have any clues?

 

this is of course not related to tech in anyway. i'm just trying to make procrastination productive.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

I don't know, I just finished my US History class last week. I should know, but I only remember stuff I'm not fascinated with long enough to take the test.

I run my browser through NSA ports to make their illegal jobs easier. :P

All I know is that, from my observations, "progressive" = socialism/eventual-communism. Which is no better or worse than the facists of the day. It all leads to totalitarianism.

 

From that era, most of my knowledge is in regards to the world wars, and to bootlegging so :/
