Not to mention that currency from a specific country is valuable if others are interested in investing there or in their products

As less and less governments and banks want to invest in the US, they lose interest in selling products in dollars, since the US doesn’t produce much anymore, just services

So they create currency in absolute value, but in terms of real buying power they are dependent on the opinions of the rest of the world

Many that fight for civic rights, also fight the class war, protesting for both

Civil rights are actually a good platform to spread social awareness

Behold, my new Savona Patty. Then, have some Bellissimo Salad. Would you like some Grazie topping, perhaps a Fortuna sauce?

Ouch xD

Actually last time I checked apple did their keynotes mentioning the environment and stuff, greenwashing their choices… I’m curious what they’ll do now.

Just like Tesla, they might have saturated their liberal userbase, I wouldn’t be too surprised if they took a more “neutral” stance

Actually about Gates, does anyone know about his stance on the current fascist takeover?

Absolutely not, I did not imply that, the post is about digital reproduction/ownership of music (if I haven’t misunderstood it)

And that is, basically, free, a very “low” cost of copying bytes. What we pay on Spotify and Apple Music are not the artists, not their instruments or recording hardware or mastering software.

We pay the intermediaries.

Concerts, museums, theatres, etc, have high costs so I’m completely fine for them to cost money to the visitors.

(Oh and I believe Bandcamp is a close second)

Ideally one wouldn’t need to pay to experience a form of art

Rather, one should first experience the art, and then if they want they could make a donation

I think that buying a CD directly from the musician at their concert or event is the only truly direct way that doesn’t end up giving most of the money to monopolistic intermediary
