That’s my thought as well. Things like failing interior plastics, or glass that is no longer being manufactured, or basic body seals rotting away. Even body rotlike folks in cold or salty environments deal with.Those bits add up fast.

I should comment AFTER I read the article.

If it is for physical sales only I would have to guess we are looking at things like cassette, USB drives and limited releases on other obscure formats like minidisk.

I’d assume it is for digital downloads.

If I am not purchasing LPs, I try to purchase MP3s/FLAC that I can copy and move around as I please.

It’s one of those things where the money sounds good until you realize you also have to live somewhere expensive to get it.

I could conceivably move to somewhere like ND and save a ton of money on housing and the necessities, but the limited job market could also mean that I would be unable to continue in the same career.

And switching jobs sound great, unless you’re in an industry seeing large changes post-pandemic. It’s certainly kept me from jumping ship. At least until I see my area of work stabilize.

To add to it, I am doing alright overall. But my student loans kicked back in, food prices have climbed, even my monthly utilities have increased as of a few months ago. So I might not be worried about keeping the lights on, I do feel the pinch and it doesn’t make me feel overjoyed about the economy.

Thanks for the clarification. I read it quickly earlier and missed the part where the amendment was voted down.

So essentially they didn’t address one of the biggest issues, what to do with the remaining embryos. Seems pretty on brand for conservative legislation.

The only thing I really can say is Manchin is a better option than the Republican that would most likely replace him. Kind of like how it is preferable to be stabbed through the hand over being stabbed in the face.
