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"

"The danger is very real, and serious. The reason we just saw a comprehensive multi-trillion dollar stimulus package is this paper by epidemiologist Dr Neil Ferguson and published today by the Imperial College of London showing that merely acting to slow rather than completely stop the spread would "still likely result in hundreds of thousands of deaths and health systems (most notably intensive care units) being overwhelmed many times over." https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College...

In other words exactly what I been saying for two solid months, only now its a prestigious epidemiologist reporting to the White House.

Their projection is for 2.2M (yes, million) deaths in the US.

That said, the Wuhan virus is spread not by speakers but by, uh, speakers. When you talk, or even breathe, it comes out in your breath. If you are infected. Which you must at this point assume that you are, and everyone else as well. Also assume every surface in the area of breathing people is contaminated, since moist breath and particles tend to drift and eventually settle on surfaces.

Wearing a mask interferes with this process. Virus that gets caught in the mask is virus not being deposited on surfaces. So avoid people, especially people so clueless or inconsiderate as to not be masked. Avoid touching surfaces anywhere anyone has been, because they could be contaminated. Above all wash and sanitize your hands like crazy and especially before eating or touching your face."

This is just one of many of your posts you wrote last Spring about how dangerous and dire the virus and situation is there in your country and the world. As I’ve stated before; you are quite an amusing fellow! First you are an expert in how horrific the virus is, now you are an expert in what a nonsense scam it all is, a money grabbing conspiracy. You declared masks worse than useless. You now call it a fake pandemic because there are no ’excess deaths’. You waffle more than Eggo. Just so you know, for future reference in case you want to flip sides again, you can have a pandemic without a single death.
I find Narcissistic Personality Disorder fascinating.
Indeed, an amusing fellow!


"Seriously wondering how long even the larger hospitals are going to be able to continue to exist at such LOW LEVELS! Your ignorance is astounding. Hospitals routinely operate at 80 to over 100%, especially ICU which are very expensive. Last thing you want is an empty bed in an ICU. Well, a lot of them are empty."

To millercarbon’s credit, he did get a thing right. Not completely, though.

Hospitals are struggling financially and it is not because of empty ICU beds. Those beds are not that empty and are, in fact, quite full in some localities. Hospitals are struggling because the money lifeline, elective surgeries and other procedures, had to be postponed due to, in many places, overwhelming number of COVID-19 patients who take resources, staff, and space in addition to some of the staff getting sick and being out of commission for a while. That is what reimbursement for taking care of COVID-19 patients is hoping to cover.


I just wanted to thank all of you on the side of facts and science for your contributions to this thread. And no that's not you @millercarbon.
You do have to wonder about the intellectual, economic and social drag created by 50 million plus  brainwashed deplorables....


This is what I’ve seen. A world scared by a pandemic called Covid 19 when the fact is we have on going PANDEMICS every year.

We all saw a reduction in deaths by "transmitted disease". A total reduction worldwide.

IF there would NOT have been, mask, social distancing, and social awareness, with RAISED attention towards POOR habits regarding infectious disease, the death toll would be through the roof all over the world. NOT JUST because of Covid, but the flu, SARS, Ebola.

The ones I just mentioned, were and still are DEADLY, but the one that gets left out and is a worldwide pandemic, every year..
MALARIA
Influenza X A LOT of different types
SARS, Covid is SARS
Ebola.

When we react to ANY single disease and treat it as "Very Contagious"
ALL diseases and their infection rate DROP... SO THE whole death rate number drops also.

What we see world wide is a good, result from some serious action taken by the WHOLE world... IF not the rest of the nasty diseases would run amuck... It smartened up the world....I think. :-)

For those that want to treat a deadly disease, any other way than a, "DEADLY DISEASE", Don’t.
Unfortunately, you might get to join that rather small number of fatalities, but fatalities none the less.

The most important part to remember. YOU are responsible for your good health. NO ONE ELSE is.... That is PC in my book..

I’m ABLE to RESPOND, Responsable....

Good health to all, Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas..
