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!


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.


...has reached new heights in this thread.


I don’t think that is the correct direction.
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.
