What is the worst thing herbert hoover did?
<|assistant|>
The worst thing Herbert Hoover did was implement policies that worsened the Great Depression, leading to extreme economic suffering for millions of people. Hoover's response to the stock market crash in October 1929 was to encourage people to keep spending, leading to a deep economic downturn that lasted until the start of World War II. He also failed to use relief programs as effectively as necessary to help those in poverty.
