Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market?

Unfortunately the completely unnecessary lockdowns are going to do far, far more damage than the wu-flu alone ever could have.

Something smells fishy. Even with the vaccine rollout here in the UK, the authorities still want to elevate the restrictions in London. Some, especially those on the left even want to introduce another lockdown!

Even when it's clear that they didn't work!
Can't work and can't even be enforced.
When nothing was wrong with observing social distancing and good hygiene.

Something that has a death rate of less than 0.01%, and whose victims average age is 82.4?

Something that is needlessly preventing the treatment of other illnesses? I've heard of way more people dying from catching Covid in hospital than outside.

All of this needless destruction of businesses for what? 2021 will reveal just how much this scandemic scaremongering has affected the audio industry.

Meanwhile in other news, we're glad to report that no one has died of flu in 2020.

   Regarding the correlation between marketing phrases and being PC, why can’t people just tell it like it is? If I’m selling something I strive to be as honest as I can, if it has a light out or scratches, etc., I show them in pictures and words.
   Embellishing a turd still makes it a turd, albeit a very well described turd. I have bought many items on Audiogon and Audiomart and zi don’t know if I’m lucky or not but with the exception of UPS destroying a McIntosh tuner before I received it, all items have been perfect.
    Respect your fellow audiophiles and tell the truth.   

Satan agrees with you cd, what is a few hundred thousand dead .

Anyone ever notice how causally some can drop politically stupid statements, proven to be false, and just keep going like it’s okay?

And when someone points it out, they are accused of being political and have their posts removed?

Talk about cancel culture, snowflakes and victimization. It's all projection.

All the best,

@schubert ,

Please try to understand real world economics. If you are able, try to see what these lockdowns have done to the future livelihoods of possibly billions of people worldwide.

Millions die every year and now millions more will die due to frenzied media fuelled covid over reaction.

Satan would definitely be on the side of the lockdown advocates. He wouldn’t even need to be a mathematician.


At least the British government have got their vaccine priorities right.


This priority list is as follows:

1 residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
2 all those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers
3 all those 75 years of age and over
4 all those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals [footnote 1]
5 all those 65 years of age and over
6 all individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality
7 all those 60 years of age and over
8 all those 55 years of age and over
9 all those 50 years of age and over
