First off, I'm not the original poster, so I'm not making any such claim.

Secondly, the Smoot-Hawley Act did raise tariffs:

"The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act raised the United States’s already high tariff rates. In 1922 Congress had enacted the Fordney-McCumber Act, which was among the most punitive protectionist tariffs passed in the country’s history, raising the average import tax to some 40 percent...Smoot-Hawley contributed to the early loss of confidence on Wall Street and signaled U.S. isolationism. By raising the average tariff by some 20 percent, it also prompted retaliation from foreign governments, and many overseas banks began to fail."

Thirdly, my post was a joke that actually supported your position that it was ludicrous to claim that the 1930's Depression was caused by abolishing slavery.

How the plan was conceived:

(Think of the old Guinness commercials, with two old time guys talking to each other):

Guinness guy #1: "Almost all the problems between planes and drones have been when drones are SEEN in the vicinity of aircraft or airports."

Guinness guy #2: "Correct."

#1: "Yes, and drones are much HARDER TO SEE at night."

#2: "Again, correct."

#1: "So we'll fly drones at night. The planes and airports won't be able to see them, so there will NO LONGER be problems between planes and drones."

#2: "BRILLIANT!!"

The BBC did an analysis of variance on mean time between failures between the ANNOVA system, the previous software system, and doing it manually, and ANNOVA came in worst.

In other words, ANNOVA failed ANOVA.
