I found a bunch of local record stores thanks to RSD. Now will I go to
them? Maybe during lunch break. I will pace myself. A record is like
a Big Mac. You don't want one - you really shouldnt get one - but once
you have it in front of you then in the words of Nancy Kerrigan "Whyyyy"

#21 The sick thing to me is that for decades used records were about $3.
Out of about 1,000 records in my collection, I would say at least 2/3
were purchased between the late 80's to early 90's for the under $5
price. That was most of the fun...finding rare gems and of course great
collectibles for cheap in the wild. Now...$25 and up for a record? NO!
Circa 2010-2015 I would occasionally buy a new record but I have been
off that train since. I wonder if the prices will finally come down when
the everything bubble pops sometime this year? Once in a great while I
will buy a used record on ebay but usually if I get anything, it's a
cassette. The last one I bought was "Ride the Lightning" and boy I tell
you I was smitten AF. I need to score "Master of Puppets". I used to
have that one...what did I do with it??? I'm convinced many tapes were
swept up with the taco bell garbage in my car! (Seriously)

Don't tell anyone but I am also convinced that CDs are going to be
sought after one day and they are sometimes pennies on the dollar.
Scoop up your favorites when you see them, even if they are doubles!!!

One day when Canada gets over it's Covid tyranny, I need to go to
Ontario thrift shops to look for cassettes. They had the best tapes.
Black, great looking and with higher sound quality. Usually well taken
care of too. They have strange protectionist laws in Canada for music.
Sometimes I will type "Canada" after a cassette release on ebay. Their
currency is in the toilet so there are some great deals too.

Toilet deals from Windsor should be a show like AMerican Pickers.
There are some whackadoodle record shops in the Mojave near my cabin.
Great prices but I have to sift through stuff to find them...like afghans
and perfume bottles. One day I will make a day of it. I had the
Metallica Master of Puppets tape. I was listening to it outside of
AA meetings in Flint Michigan while my parental unit was in the YWCA
yacking it up with the locals. Back then a DOD distortion pedal let
alone a Marshall amp seemed like an impossible thing that only rich people
could ever get their mitts on...unless you were a thief or rented
it. I never understood how bands got their gear without already having
somebody funding their dreams.

"Toilet deals from Windsor should be a show like AMerican Pickers."
I had a hearty laugh from that one!
The gear: I know from back in the day hanging out with the local guys in
bands (you know some of them) that they would take the money from the
gigs and buy new gear. Of course some of it was purchased from their day
jobs too. It's probably a good and bad thing that we didn't have ebay
back then. OMG. But you are right - so many things were a total mystery
back then, before duckduckgo searches, amazon, etc. You could go into a
local shop and get ripped off hardcore. Now you can buy cables, pedals,
strings, you name it for very little money. I haven't looked but I
would bet my next paycheck that there's a DIY scene for making your own
guitar. I would also assume there's a Raspberry Pi hat that turns a Pi
into a guitar pedal from hell. In fact...*typing into the search*...
https://www.electrosmash.com/pedal-pi
Bingo and I bet there are other projects just like it. In fact now you
can have a custom circuit board printed, buy logos, you name it custom
for very little. There was no conceivable way to do any of this stuff
back when we were young. There's no excuse for young people today IMO.

It probably never occurred to most people that POTUS is not incompetent
at all; that he's reading a script designed by entities that are
deliberately destroying the economy and deliberately ending access to
fuel and food.
No diesel, no food, gasoline or product deliveries:

Would they sink so low as to go after BABY FORMULA, deny that there's a
shortage and then warn people not to make their own formula out of
desperation? And then Bill Gates popping up out of nowhere with a new
corporation asking for FDA approval of lab-created breast milk?
It all plays out like a script from hollywood. Maybe hollywood writers
DID write the script?
Just let the babies starve, okay?
Where is this all heading??? And will there be a breaking point at which
anarchy and hysteria takes the wheel?

It should be lost on no one that the same group of people who literally
invented euthanasia, which inspired the Nazi T4 euthanasia program also
promote the mass murder of millions through abortion. Remember "Right to
die?" Look up what's happening in Canada. Mentally ill can be assisted
suicides. Didn't Nazi's do that too?
Are baby formula shortages strategic? Are supplies being sent to Europe
and prioritized for illegal immigrants? Why/how is a national emergency
not being declared? Rest assured, even if you have traveled from store
to store and could not find baby formula, all the right people say
there's no shortage. Just blame Putin.

Supply chain, inflation, and recalls. When we say supply chain - that's
code for gas hikes. Inflation - that's code for gas hikes. Recalls -
that's code for "didn't ship right away due to gas hikes". They'll
tell you it's from Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria but that bacteria
naturally occurs - just dont let the dry food sit in a truck out
on the lot like they did in Sturgis, Michigan where the 4 infants
were enough for CDC to shutdown national distributions.
Food processing sabotage for two months in a row and nobody blinks.
Gas hikes and life goes on. No sovereign Southern border at all.
Gues what is next - EIDL loan payments begin in June. The IRS and
SBA are going to have a field day on small businesses across the
country. Minimum wage is going up alongside interest rates.
Bonds both short and long are narrowing. The housing market
is going stale - over 1/3 of it is bank owned. Who will call in
the debt upon debt to banks and government now that "the Covid
is under control"?

Artificial Scarcity, Starvation and Government Contracts
Abbott labs, the same company that makes rapid Covid tests also makes
baby formula (Similac, Alimuntum, and Elecare) among other notable
products, including Glucerna, Ensure, Pedialyte, Pediasure, and
Zoneperfect.
Abbott labs had the baby formula product recalls but there are many
other brands by other manufacturers. There s no recall on Enfamill
formulas, Gerber Good Start, Earth s Best Organic Dairy Infant Formula,
Happy Baby Organics Infant Formula, Neocate, and others. So why the
empty shelves?
On March 25, 2022, Abbott won a $1 Billion contract with the United
States government for rapid Covid 19 tests. That s an incredible amount
of money. One could question whether Abbott had the incentive to play
along with an government-mandated artificial shortage of baby formula.
Given that other manufactures have no recalls but the shelves are still
empty, one could ask if the Davos you will eat bugs folks integrated
into global governments are purposefully taking a stab at starving
babies by incentivizing artificial shortages.

Problems for the left:
Stage 1: Deny the problem
Stage 2: Downplay the problem
Stage 3: Claim to be working on the problem
Stage 4: Blame the problem on the right (or current boogeyman)
Stage 5: Demonize the right (or current boogeyman like Putin), using the
problem as justification

You know... I heard a commercial this morning (actually just a few
minutes ago) from McDonalds advertising "mix and match" breakfast items,
2 for $5. I was thinking of all those years where I stopped there before
work, almost every day. Loved their coffee but I really paid a steep
price in my health eating all that garbage. "What harm can an egg and
cheese biscuit sandwich do?" was my thinking. When I was young (20's to
30's) I would eat two of those, then only one as I got older. I knew it
was keeping me fat, but the extent of the unhealthiness wasn't apparent
until I reached 50. Hearing that commercial encouraging people to eat 2
of those chemical, fat-bomb concoctions, well it makes me sad for
America. As the economy takes a dip, the lines in the McDonald's
breakfast-time drive through are likely going to still be long across
America. They are like snake charmers with that awesome coffee!!!
