The Nazis did the same with their highways to keep people employed.

The US did too during the great depression

Bet they used spoons.

This just reminded me of a classmate from my teens who once said, in all seriousness, "Hitler didn’t just do bad things".

And I replied, "Uh, yeah". And in my mind, searching for something good he did, went like 'he built the Autobahn' immediately followed up with 'well, that didn’t turn out to be the best idea either', and by then the moment had kinda passed, and I couldn’t casually say "Well, actually […]".

Man, politics as a teenager was wild.

He killed Hitler, so that's one good thing he did

Can you really give him credit for that one though? He waited far too long until it was pretty certain someone else was going to do it any day now. He was even a loser in the one good thing he did.

He killed Hitler's dog right in front of him

Auto Bahn and infrastructure is pretty important to the war readiness of a country.

US does it with their health industry, more administrators then doctors, also their military industrial complex , which is why they need forever wars to create jobs.

Except those administrators make more than the doctors and are all nepo hires...

Better if they employed more lab techs and social workers
