The worth-success correlation is not just the USA, it’s here (Germany) the same. And probably nearly everywhere else too.
As for the rest I can’t add anything, you already summed it up quite eloquently with enough cynical observation.
I hope for you that you’re a wealthy one, as being poor AND open-minded in the US must be a nightmare. Knowing when and how you get fucked into which parts hurts more than just rolling along the others, never having to reflect or ponder…
Nooooooo that’s totally unlikely. It’s probably just for our best!
A nation that sells knowledge to its people is beyond me. Aren’t they milked enough when they finally are allowed to slave themselves to death in work?
This nation is a great example to others how it should not be done. But yet we all will follow slowly…
And yet, poor people still multiply and forward their suffering. Willingly, as planned well by their owners.
Sure, I still have all physical media as a backup 😁 As for the NAS, I have a triple backup of it. I learned that the hard way a long time ago 😐
Actually I would just be FLACing my records for convenience, as I did with my whole (SA)CD/BR-Archive. And yes, I do like Bandcamp. It’s really nice to discover indie-artists noone knows (yet). If the bands do make decent money there, I dunno. Hence I said “maybe bandcamp”.
Who’s fault is it that there’s no fair systems one could use (except maybe bandcamp)? Not mine at least, I don’t use Spotify at all. I would not sell my music there if I would be an artist.

It was at this point where I decided to stop reading. Calling a child rapist and trafficker a “late financier and convicted sex offender” leaves too sour a taste
Non USA here, so no best buy. Got a google-tv now with basically nothing on it, heavy firewalling that device off and using only jellyfin. I hate it but…
Really sad. We could even save a good portion of bucks due to all the shit noone needs. I can only imagine the crap pre-installed on Samsung TVs or other of those horrible bloat-brands.
I’d actually prefer a dumb TV, we only use jellyfin anyway and that could be served by some raspy or similar. But they’re extinct it seems. At least modern ones with 4 or 8k.
I hate this dumbing down of everything.
“Become” a shit hole? I’d argue that train long passed by.
Fair point. I didn’t even think of that disgusting “feature”.
Barbarians…primitive country masking as developed.
I’d pay a million to NOT have to visit this shit hole. Immigrate? You’re kidding me. It’s in the lower third of the bottom50 countries to never set a foot into.
Lol. They couldn’t pull that off here, so many elderly would just shrug aimlessly and leave. I would laugh and leave, seeing qr-pricetags.
Rules are for thee not for me.
Not familiar with those price-tags, but how should they do this? Detecting your presence at a product and raise price? What if two ppl are standing there? Three?

That is so sad and so us-american… You’re not a civilized society anymore but existing only to please your capitalist owners. To them, you don’t need art, philosophy or anything else that isn’t directly applicable to capitalist interests.
The poor should not waste themselves on “useless” knowledge. You should only waste yourself in money-making capitalist mines like boring offices. At least those with enough cash can still enjoy the finer arts. Or any of the financially less advantageous degrees.
This world is a fucking joke.
And the vast majority of real musicians/artists, which are so essential to a civilization btw, are poor as fuck
