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"

"They’re now talking about Covid mutating. If it actually existed in the first place that is."

It is highly unlikely that COVID would mutate. Diseases (that is what D in COVID stands for) usually do not mutate. Viruses, on the other hand...

They have existed, COVID and viruses, that is.

"Not fake news, real words coming from real elected officials. Seriously?....that’s the gold standard example you really wanted to use @cd318 ???? Sweden?"


"Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf says country's coronavirus response 'failed'"


Is Sweden's king an elected official?

cd318, just so you know and don't feel too oppressed

More than 7,000 people have died of Covid-19 in Sweden, giving the country of 10.2 million one of Europe’s highest per capita death rates. Sweden has recorded significantly more deaths in the past fortnight alone than neighbouring Norway and Finland – with populations roughly half the size – have since the beginning of the pandemic.

Not to sound any alarms but Covid has inter species jumped again, now to minks. They've found it in cats, dogs, snow leopards and a few other species as well but since it's a virus, it's to be expected. They just didn't think it'd happen so quickly.

So far, it doesn't indicate a jumping back in same or mutated form but only time will tell. tick, tick, tick.....

All the best,

I think that rift between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in the 1980s counted as one of the world wars. I am not sure about the remaining eight.
Good point.
Let’s see, there’s the war on poverty, the war on obesity, the war on drugs, the War of the Worlds, (does that one count as two?) the war on the truth, the war on unsightly stains, and I guess you could count that whole Yoko dust up.
