During the Five Year Plans Stalin created an almost pure command economy. If he needed food, he requisitioned it. If that didn't work, he had the country-side searched for private stocks which he confiscated, having first killed its owners. If he wanted to build a factory in the Urals, he sent people there to build it using food and materials he had requisitioned elsewhere. He killed maybe 15 million people he thought were opposing his policies. He also inspired workers very effectively, convincing them that they were building a new type of civilization, and were in fact becoming a new and better type of human being. He was helped in this endeavor by the fact that the entire rest of the world was manifestly against the Soviet experiment and wanted it to fail. The workers believed their lives depended on rapid industrialization, and given the rise of fascism, and their leaders murderous resolve, they were right.

Which of these federal positions is

professor190 [17]

Answer: B. Secretary of State

Explanation:

The Office of the Secretary of State heads the Department of State which means that the holder is in charge of U.S. foreign policy. This position was traditionally seen as a stepping stone to the Presidency with Thomas Jefferson being the first Secretary and then becoming the third President.

Of recent however, Secretaries of State have not been very successful winning primaries( with the exception of Hillary Clinton in 2016) as parties seem to gravitate to those who have held democratic office but this position has however, produced 9 nominees for the Presidency since independence.

Have you ever been unhappy with a situation or felt that you were being treated unfairly? Write a letter to someone that explain

Basile [38]

Dear Johnny, I didn't appreciate it when you pushed me down in the hallway at school. Especially when you starting kicking me in my ribcage (pretty sure you cracked a few) I also hated the incredible humiliation I went through as you kicked me without ceasing. I know your mad at me for telling the teachers that you cheated on my homework, but I had to do it. I mean either I was going to take the blame or it was gonna be you. And we both know I can't get into Harvard with a criminal record. I guess I'm just trying to say that I'm sorry. Not for ratting you out though, I'm sorry that you have become this type of person, this bully if you will. You''ll never get anywhere by beating me up every chance you get.

Your old friend, Matt.

(Hope this helped dude)
