I bought a pair of Edifier powered bookshelf speakers (R1280T model, I think) for my living room setup and they work fine for casual TV and movie watching. Cost about $110 total. No subwoofer necessary, but I would add one if I had movie nights with more than just me and my partner (and didn’t have downstairs neighbors, lol).

This album is so underrated. I feel like these guys and the Velvet Underground helped define the sound and attitude of New York rock through the end of the 20th century.

What is this retro shit? “Tax the rich” is so 2010s.

It’s about time the ‘average American’ started questioning what the fuck this system is doing. Many of us have only been trying to show them how messed up it is for the past 250 years or so.

Seriously though, it really is way more tense than I have ever seen it. The kinds of political conversations I am having with neighbors and coworkers are ones that I never would’ve imagined being able to have even 5 years ago.

Go on then, git!!

It won’t hurt them though, not when they get that bailout money from public funds so that only we have to suffer the consequences of their actions.

Thanks, village idiot, I needed a laugh today.

They interact with the people they represent, often on a golf course. It’s just that those people aren’t you and me.

Oh no! Did those scary ideas that conflict with US State Dept propaganda hurt your little bitty ego? Did you not get the pat on the head you expected for your bold, approved by the neoliberal order takes you so graciously bestowed upon Hexbear? Lmfao.

“We will do everything in our power” = watch out, we each have a ‘vote’ and aren’t afraid to use it!

Lmao, all these electoralist jokers are cooked. What a weak ass letter. Their votes never meant shit (and it sure as hell didn’t make any Dems or Repubs less genocidal), not when this whole imperial project is run by corporations and the MIC, yet they still can’t seem to think outside the ballot box.

My mind is blown, I need to figure out what this all means.

Coward.

Capitalism took cancer research, funded by taxpayers and performed by graduate students and post docs for no profit, slapped a hefty price tag on it for the public, then called it “innovation” to justify the insane amount of money they were able to extract from the masses (the same masses that originally funded that research).

You’re totally right, the US government and business elite were content to make money from both sides of the conflict right up until Dec 7, 1941 and the subsequent DoWs from Germany and Italy (once the US declared on Japan). They may have favored Britain and France in trade/indirect support somewhat before that, but that was more a result of historical diplomatic and economic ties, rather than any issue with the German political system.

The US government is not (and has never been) against fascism for ideological reasons. Fascism and American-style democracy go hand in hand quite well. Our government fought a war against fascists because they disrupted the global trade status quo and threatened US economic prosperity and that of our primary trade partners.

I know of a hospital where the local university sends tracers with F-18 for PET scans in much the same way. Half-life of 110 minutes.

American Giant. Expensive, but they have a great warranty and the craftsmanship is top notch.

Rod Farva level of stupid.
