and exceptional US President, at the top of the list. Thanks for adding the TVA and Labor relations.

The few other posts on FDR that I've seen here in 10+ years don't receive much interest. And I also don't know why he isn't noted more prominently. By the 90s the party had to move to the right, but a lot has changed since then.

Regardless, I still think the world of FDR's courage, genius and leadership abilities in the most difficult times. On par with Lincoln and Washington at least.

Thanks for replying, and here's to a great year in 2024!
