But then you have to remove ALL consumer protections on contracts. Payday loans can start charging 20,000% interest and make you sign a line that uses fancy language to put your car up for collateral. You could prohibit people of a specific race from renting or buying property.

So go that way, but also disband every government agency because if we’re sovereign then that’s it. Every man is his own government.

Or maybe we could just keep the protections we have and expand them to cover an industry that’s thrived on screwing over artists it’s whole existence.

It sounds like you don’t need a laptop, you need a desktop

So block the article in India but there’s no reason to block it in the rest of the world. Fuck India’s government gonna do to them?

The governor and anyone who voted for it should be more like. The doctors will go to jail if they help.

We really don’t know how many have died because Georgia and Texas did away with the mortality boards because of bad PR

https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/21/health/georgia-maternal-mortality-committee-propublica/index.html

They will arrest the doctors though, or kill them when an acorn falls near a jackboot

She was black though so its actually a win in the eyes of MAGA voters

In Texas the pilot and whomever paid for it would be guilty of a crime

Totally. It’s for random hobbies

Like I said. I’d suggest a PC

By law you do. You just aren’t accessing your payroll portal online to look it up. It will be there. It’s literally required for filling out your taxes in April

Me either. I looked it up and I’ve seen one in town parked at Hobby Lobby. It’s an EV or Hybrid crossover that’s replaced the Avalon And it costs Mercedes money anyway so I don’t see how a tariff will matter to potential customers.

My dad’s Tundra was built in Indiana My Camaro was built in Quebec

A felon is president-elect. It doesn’t matter about the cabinet. It’ll just be whatever oligarch has his ear this week that will dictate his policies

But it is all brain rot since they changed their algorithm and started feeding me what posts they want to feed and showing me people Idon’t follow

The article, yeah. But observing social media anecdotally provides much more than 15 examples of those who believe this way. Then I can correlate that with what I know from the people I’m actually around every day, and the words of the minister on TV Sunday mornings warning about changing your DNA with vaccines to his 1500 member congregation.

I’m just saying it seems no less accurate than a poll, and is unfiltered by biased questions

I have no idea who these women are but the music industry knows what it is. And it’s gotten worse. And it doesn’t care. The industry needs to die and art profits should go to the artist.

It needs to be illegal for record companies to get rights for anything other than distribution.

If your band is signed with Polygram you can’t even record a duet with an artist on another label without paying Polygram royalties for a song that is not your band’s and has nothing to do with them.

They don’t pay as well as Apple and Tidal but they pay much better than YouTube

When you’re indy you don’t make money from streaming. When you’re actually popular you do, but the record company gets it. It’s like when hard partying rockstars used to all go broke. It’s because they made millions but the corporations took it all and made them pay back the recording and partying costs out of their meager earnings. Then if the band was bust the company would write off the expenses as a loss while still collecting from the artists’ share.

For Taylor Swift’s 1999 album, there was an article that showed Spotify had paid millions to the record company and Swift got about $200. That’s why she’s re-recording everything as “Taylor’s version.” So she can get the revenue.

The singer of Cracker showed his earnings from streaming the song Low one month and TouTube had way more views than any streamer and had paid pennies. Seriously it was like .32.

My last check from streaming was $12 and that was only split two ways.

And the scalping sites.

They’re totally a monopoly but the government won’t do anything because they only hurt normal people.

Musk needs to start a ticketing agency so somebody rich has a stake and watch congress do something.

I went with a date to see Tori Amos last year and the merch was stupidly expensive (even for concert merch) and the woman told us to order online because the venue was taking ½ of merch so everything was double

Because Ticketmaster and it’s venues are a monopoly. Pearl Jam tried to warn us 30 years ago.
