Cultural Death of Hi-Fi

marketing failure

 

young people are interested in amazing awesome breakthru products on kickstarter

You have to wonder where all the money has gone.  We had art and music appreciation programs back in the dark ages when I went to school.   Why can't we afford it now?  What has changed?  If we could afford it in 1960,  why we can not afford music and other educational programs now?  

 

I pay more in property tax (with less Federal deduction - thanks Trump)  than I paid for the mortgage of my first home.   Not much to show for these taxes:  the school system sucks, the roads are worthy of Lagos,  and the only solution seems to be more taxes.

 

 

 

school systems have a LOT more non-teaching employees nowadays

Of course history will occur in the future after it actually happens then its called history, but its got to happen first.

 

 

So, why can I move around any direction I want in space, but not in time?  I just keep getting dragged forward no matter what...

Time is not a spatial (spacial) dimension. "Time is the stream of flowing temporal events perceived by creature consciousness." (The Urantia Book 130:7.4)

 

 

Time is just Space in drag
