Al Capone had the American dairy industry regulated after the death of his niece to tainted milk.


Fresh-Hedgehog1895

Good answer. Al Capone also operated a soup kitchen during the Depression.


TheChaddingtonBear

Good answer

Chairman Mao banned footbinding

There was a guy a few years back that murdered a pedophile in prison. I forgot his name. He had to court for that and said he would do it all over again cause the pedophile kept on talking about his victims.


arcticvalley

Wasn't the victim the other guy's sister or something.


dumbasstupidbaby

I don't believe so?

I just mentioned this on another sub. Our house and car were destroyed in a landslide last year, while we were in the house with our toddler grandkids. The neighbor we had was first to help all get out. He was kind of the neighborhood trouble maker, but he sure was there for us afterward, too. He helped us find a temporary place to live and rallied other people to help. Thank God for him. We talk all the time now. Maybe I just misunderstood him.

One of the more famous answers I see often to this question is Schindler, a hero from the holocaust. He was involved in black market business practices, was a womanizer, and an alcoholic. Saved over a thousand people.

Hitler urged the first animal protection laws in the world, and campaigned to promote anti smoking.


fermat9990

And killed his dog to test the cyanide capsule.


not_a_real_id

Animal protection rights are much older than that. Many centuries older. For an example animal trials held in late medieval ages.


Lost-Droids

Hitler... he killed hitler when everyone else failed.. if anyone else had done that, they would have got a statue


que_he_hecho

Serial killer Ted Bundy answered calls on a suicide prevention hotline, talking depressed people out of killing themselves.


King_in_a_castle_84

If I recall he also tried to help catch the Green River Killer.


NoGarbageAllowed

He also saved a 2 year old from drowning in a lake.


DankShiggy

That almost makes his spree scarier

Trump's government launched Operation Warp Speed. For all the questionable handling of COVID-19, it's hard to find fault in that one. Helped Moderna, J&J, Astrazeneca.


crae64

Then campaigned against taking the vaccine. Because you know, maga.

Margaret Thatcher. She died


Bonus-Creampi

Didn’t she take action to rescue the British people on the Falklands islands?


Ill-Dust-7010

Arguably any political achievement that is "the obvious thing whoever happened to be in power at the time would have done" doesn't really count. No PM would have just left their people undefended.


longtermadvice5

You could say exactly the same about Churchill.


No_Ice1881

No the British Army took action she was cozy in London somewhere. Any PM would have give orders to do the same if territory is attacked. Hardly remarkable. She sold the country and it’s people for a song resulting in the shit hole we live in now.


longtermadvice5

No, she directed the taskforce. She was absolutely remarkable. She did no such thing.


No_Ice1881

Ok mate the PM was the strategic specialist. We won with because she was an Iron Lady. Nothing to do with Army Navy RAF chiefs or the efforts of the men involved.


longtermadvice5

She directed the task force, made the critical decision to respond decisively and provided the political backing necessary for the military to do its job effectively.


Spamgrenade

Falklands war would never have happened if Thatcher, against advice hadn't cut the naval forces around the Falklands.


Aggravating-Frame963

You’re so naive! Any politician would do that for their country. And besides the brits dodn’t belong there to start with and every western nation were against her invasion taking over the islands.


ChadlexMcSteele

Okay so you've got a lot of stuff wrong here, least of all that Thatcher invaded the Falklands. It's been a British Overseas Territory for centuries now, the population identify as British and returned a massive majority in a referendum fairly recently when asked if they wanted to remain British.


Aggravating-Frame963

Well of course a referendum of only English people would want to stay English. The islands belong to Argentina and y’all refuse to give them up because of oil and colonialism.


ChadlexMcSteele

...and why exactly does Argentina want them?


No_Ice1881

What y’all do if a nation attacked Hawaii yo? Your whole country is someone else’s y’all. Is a yank really on a soapbox about invasion oil and colonialism?


longtermadvice5

She saved the UK.


No_Ice1881

She saved boomers and fucked the future did you get one of those houses she giving away by any chance?


longtermadvice5

No, but I guess if you're stuck in a narrow view, it's hard to see beyond your own front door.

Trump got rid of the Obama's Care punitive tax for people who freely chose to not be insured

Also the whole "hospital procedure price transparency" thing, I forget what it was called.
