Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market?

Previously loved, slightly demo'ed....etc.  

Gosh, when I sell the old car I should not list it as "used" ....perhaps "formerly observed", "slightly touched",  "once considered",  "only driven by a Little Old Lady from Riverside, Ca."

But thankfully no items sold are "used" any longer, really helps my faith in the market.

"Creative writing and the Internet" should be a required course for all "Semi-liberal  arts" degrees"

millercarbon,


"So when these people would show up with the flu I would smartly say well its probably a different strain or its probably too soon, in other words feed them the party line."


It was not within the scope of your job to give out medical opinions or advice. It is not only wrong and potentially dangerous behavior, but it may be grounds for dismissal. Practicing medicine without a license is frowned upon by authorities and should have been frowned upon by your superiors. Do not do it. You may harm someone.

ICU bed availability varies by municipality.

In Washington State, 79.5% accute-care beds are occupied, according to today’s Seattle Times:

From today’s Los Angeles Times:

Intensive care unit beds across Southern California are plummeting to critical levels, with capacity falling to 1% in Ventura County and 0% in Riverside County while Los Angeles County — home to 10 million people — had fewer than 100 beds available.

But the worst of the surge is still to come, experts say. L.A. County has more than 4,400 people hospitalized with COVID-19, and officials said that number could rise to 5,000 by the weekend.

Readers may hit a paywall, but here’s the link:

Opinion | What the Science of Addiction Tells Us About Trump - POLITICO

Found this to be interesting. Rings true.

People are all fallible but responsible people fact check things as best they can before spreading rumors as is so easily done on the internet these days.

To not do that is being irresponsible. Being irresponsible is a bad thing. Look it up. Gotta keep track of these things, what is good and what is bad, carefully these days.

Opinions are OK. Just don’t pitch an opinion as documented fact.

Politicizing any question makes impossible to see the reality....

What is passing all around the world now is very clear for those who look without confort blinders....Political opinions of any directions are confort blinders...

The details may appear unfocused to the serious onlooker, but the great picture is there anyway... But for the perception of reality onlooking is not enough we must transform ourself....

It is the same thing in audio, to listen and perceive we must transform ourself in the process... The music/sound must affect us not only unconsciously with an emotion in the body but consciously with signification coming from the spirit....

In the greatest of greek city, the oppositions parties waged rethorically against one another but at some time someone opinions prevailed and all the opposition parties dissolved then ,unifying all the city for the task to come....
