But, but Biden said words.

Thank you. Security verification has become so cumbersome that people just try to push through without thinking.

But support for Isreal is an easy way to launder public money into the private ownership, 28.6 billion dollars since October on top of the 3.8 billion we send every year. Won't someone think of weapons manufacturers?!

Unemployment is at 3.7% with 6.1 million people. That number more than doubles if you include people out of the workforce that want a job and then triples when you include people in part time positions that would prefer a full time job.

Focusing on just unemployment is a trick the capitalists play because what they care about are the people not working receiving benifits, not the actual economic outlook of those unemployed.

That's great in a vacuum but wage growth of 5% with inflation at 3% is a net 2%. Considering how massive layoffs continue across almost all industries a 2% increase for those not impacted by job losses, it's not a great indicator for the working classes stability.

And yet Janet Yellen has been on nation wide tour pleading with people to just please understand the economy is great.

Democrats are gaslighting us.

14.5 billion dollars was sent since October 2023 in addition to the 3.8 billion dollars the U.S. sends every year. The U.S. Senate advanced another 14.1 billion dollar package to Israel this last Sunday.

If we are sending this much aid to a country to further it's military goals, knowing full well the illegal tactics they are using it's a bit of an endorsement don't you think?

To top it all off the Houthis have been very clear that the aggression in the Red Sea will continue until Isreal stops the war in Gaza, yet we would rather double dip and send billions to Isreal while spending billions to defend the Red Sea instead of stopping a literal genocide. Which would cost us nothing.

Human Rights Watch reporting including pictures. Second hit from searching "white phosphorus gaza", the first being a report of when Israel used it back in 2008.

It is not enough to simply call for fixes to economic inequity. We need to be holistic. We gain nothing through economic reductionism.

Absolutely, but a bit of reductionism is called for when it's ignored in whole.

I was looking at it and it's the only correct answer. Those are the only bands from that era that I go back to for more than just a nostalgia hit.

Spek is a gem.

Fuck Amazon, support the unionization effort at KCVG the companies largest airhub. A small donation can go a long way to support leaders facing illegal firings as well as show solidarity to employees who Amazon is constantly trying to intimidate.

Many of those social issues would not be a problem if our economic policies were taking care of our own. Look at history, racism has been used as a tool to shift the blame from the rich to minorities. Same shit is happening today, blame the guys, blame the immigrants. Instead of addressing the root cause, inequality, Dems give you piecemeal progress that they use like a carrot on a stick.

Dems will not save us unless we have a strong left opposition pushing them to do so. FDR only delivered the New Deal because labor was organized and winning, and if you actually look at policy in the new deal much of it was designed to weaken the labor movement that threatened the political power structure.

Dems will not just magically shift left, and this kind of magical thinking needs to be directly called out because it makes people think they have no control over the political situation. It just dilutes awareness.

Carter moved dems to right and away from labor protections. Clinton then continued by gutting social safety nets.

You're talking socially, which are wedge issues meant to divide the working class. I'm talking about economic policy in which democrats only move right.

If Republicans are no longer a threat Democrats will only move farther to the right.

Edit: Those of you downvoting me because I insulted "your team" need to review their history books.

That's awesome!

I learned DAWs with ProTools back around 2006 in college. Dropped out because I didn't want to enter a competitive trade where my best opportunities were moving out of state.

Got sucked into another industry and haven't touched much audio for the past decade. Getting back into it now and started on Audacity but the 2021 buyout had me confused where to land with the Tenacity split. the good/bad of open source I suppose but as a user being in the middle of a split was frustrating and detracting from recording. Finding out about Reaper and talking to people leaving ProTools behind even within the industry was just what I needed when I needed it.

My daughter (11yo) is now getting into DAWs as her current goal is to score an internship at KEXP, being able to share with her all the stuff I learned in school has been so much fun.

They already have the staff, this would just be a project current staff manages.

Has it been 6 months already?

Well written and glad to see professional outlets sharing their experience with Activity Pub.

Audacity is a great learning tool for intro absolutely! When you're just dipping your toes into recording and editing, free and $60 is a huge difference.

I feel like users that are going to be using any of the features of this plug-in, they're probably at the point that going to Reaper makes sense.

Audacity just doesn't seem worth the trouble after discovering Reaper and how powerful it is for only $60.
