WWFDRD
So, this commercial is airing on television. It has several different people speaking words first uttered by FDR, ending with "we have nothing to fear but fear itself".

It's a commercial for Allstate Insurance. And, given the present efforts of the insurance industry to subvert attempted reforms, I'm having more than a little trouble picturing FDR speaking on behalf of that industry.

Just sayin'.

5. Typical Allstate, tone deaf. When they pulled out of Florida after
the hurricanes they showed their true colors. A pox on them.
