The sanctions applied to Russia were unprecedented. Fears about tubes were not about nothing. Perhaps they were premature, but they were about something. Hindsight is 20-20.
Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains.

You can find the details on the web but they set up a company to sell the properties and take down the arches. The business details are handled by the liquidation company. It would not surprise me if McDonalds holds the rights to shut down franchises for any reason they want. |
I dont give a dam about tubes... I prefer history.... North american in general listen TV not history.... For them Spartacus is Kirk Douglas....For me it is the reverse... Reverse all news papers " truths" and you will be right... I am not proud to be a Canadian by the way....I am ashamed...Tubes or not! |
Strange.

Wherever your getting your information from, I suggest another source.

McDonald's is doing fine. Inflation happens...maybe its time to buy tulip bulbs? Regarding formula, where did the vikings get their formula? What on earth did babies consume prior to Similac(sp?). |
I was able to get a quad of JJ brand EL34s (IIs) just the other day which sound very very nice to my ears. Time will tell their durability but most chatter I’ve heard is good in that regard. Going to put them back into safekeeping until the 1-yr-old, Pre-Invasion Mullard reissues reach the end of their usable lifespan. It’s good, at any rate, to have a few more spares on hand than the one spare quad I had prior to getting the JJs…… |
@ghasley guess you better ask all those upset mothers in NYC, Chicago, LA, SF.

@thyname I think you are on to something with the brain fart theory. |
@audioguy85 meathead is waddling around at Mar-A-Lago and playing golf (which is about the only thing the legtimate POS ever did when he was the illegitimate POTUS) so don’t be so hard on yourself. |
1) The president doesn’t have a magic wand that fixes inflation. (Actually, he doesn’t have much to do with the state of the economy.) Mostly, the inflation we're experiencing is fallout from the pandemic, which the orange sociopath made much worse with his self-interested magical thinking about non-cures and his minimization and politicization of the virus. 2) By many measures, the economy is doing quite well. Unemployment is low, hiring is brisk, and wages are up. 3) The baby formula issue has nothing to do with Biden. Now back to audio. |

+10 @laoman ! |
We live in a free market economy, so the US president doesn't have much say over the price of vacuum tubes or gasoline, and I prefer it that way. As for the price of tubes, my local audio dealer is holding the line on prices since he doesn't want to piss off loyal customers to make a few extra bucks in the short term. Seems like good sense to me, and its one of the things that will continue to earn him my business over internet resellers. |
You really need to invest in a mirror. |
Wouldn’t it be kindof cool if those who make bombastic or apocolyptic claims to be required to list their geographic location and a summary of their qualifications? That way people could take their comments in context and arrive at an appropriate opinion of their bonadifes.
For instance: Hi, I’m Joe. I live in Cortland, NY in my parents basement. I was the first alternate on my church chess team in middle school. For the past 43 years I have been the assistant manager at Subway and I feel uniquely qualified to discuss the effects of monetary policy and the global supply chain weaknesses because a “duhmata” (tomato) now costs more. I also believe the last president was better because he too likes guns, chicks and not paying his bills.

😁😊
Seriously? Post content are hilarious.... Why mocking Subway manager by the way? Did you understand so much yourself? Did you consider yourself so much high in the American way of life that you can mock any people under your status? Just a question... And by the way if you are optimistic at short time right now your brain dont function well.... I am myself being optimist in the long term time scale, guess why? ... My brain work... My status: Self made man retired with no boss for my entire life... Hobby: reading, walking and acoustic and music right now... Political status: non dualist Admiration: Grothendieck, Mochizuki, Alain Connes and Anirban Bandyopadhyay and Bach...I am interested by the relation between these people and music and consciousness....Goethe is my mentor in philosophy...

@ghasley "Regarding formula, where did the vikings get their formula? What on earth did babies consume prior to Similac(sp?)." Used to be the death rate among newborns in centuries past was extremely high, up to 50% or so. That is one of the factors that made the overall average lifespan for populations so short in earlier times. There have always been some women who cannot breastfeed effectively, or at all, and milk from other animals is not a sufficient replacement. Formula has been a godsend for these infants, along with other medical advances this past century. |
@ghasley +10!! |
I wasn’t making fun of Subway managers. I also wasn’t making fun of Subway assistant managers. I was making fun of someone who had risen to assistant manager status and not progressed for over four decades. I would never debate room acoustics with you (for a multitude of reasons), it wouldn’t be wise. I was making fun of the generic person on Audiogon who has no clue about a topic on which they opine. Some do so repeatedly. "All dacs sound the same" or "so and so caused inflation" or "so and so caused the supply chain disruptions".
I completely understand the need for formula and its considerable benefits to society and mankind. Obviously I failed to convey the sarcastic humor I intended. I guess, buried deep down in my sarcasm is that people should have a fallback plan. On everything that is important to them...we have a large pantry, we have no children but there is baby formula on the shelf....why, its a fallback plan for our guests. So, I guess you can say that I prepare for contingencies both professionally and personally. I dont build homes on the banks of a river that floods or on the coast prone to hurricanes. Thanks for your post as I was likely not communicating the seriousness I feel for the problem while trying to point out that when unfortunate happenings occur, I am not one of those looking to the government for a solution. |
Then i apologize... But you are lucky in life ... When i was young one of my friend never go up more than assistant manager to a fast food chain... I guess i loved my friend too much...By the way i dont think he could progress much more...But the value of people has nothing to do with money and success and you know that also, then excuse me please for being too reactive...
My best to you...
