"We Lost Our Identity" - Inside Peavey’s Return to Roots

our freedom of choice is 40 flavors of hamburger helper, 31 flavors of ice cream, 20 different varieties of Rice-O-Roni, 10 different mass produced piss beer options, 400 energy drinks, 200 Negative energy drinks (those canned cocktails that make light weights act a fool and bring about negative energy) 2 different political parties both controlled by corporate interests, one just uses humanitarianism as a crutch, the other uses the opposite as a crutch.
Its an illusion. either accept it, or spend your life justifying the weird shit that AMERICA does.

 

[shar-vell Dan]

There be some weird-ass shit FoSho
There's a case waiting for outcome at SCOTUS brought by the Vice Pres Vance [talk about conflict of interest] to allow un-limited campaign money directly to the Presidential candidates themselves dark money, any money with no guardrails or limitations or disclosures w/a click of a mouse elections will be bought by money & not chosen by voters.
John Roberts thinks he's a "corporate lawyer" now. Once he passes that just like he did unlimted campaign contributions a decade or so ago we just became MOTHER RUSSIA.
And guess who you can thank for all that ?

Its wild some peeps with $15k-20k worth of gear complain about prices. Yet still buy more gear.

 

[YachtRocker]

everything from the fictional sociopath in your avatar, to your chosen screen name, to your comment, is all perfectly on brand, cliche, G.O.P.

lol... You should probably watch the movie



What is it about music forums and senile guys trying to recruit for the democrats. Is there a single place to hide from this?

 

[Reverend Bow]

If this thread is still about Peavey, and not bitching about politicians who really don't give a flying fuck about the citizens of their country....

I still have my first generation Peavey Classic 30... Made in the USA....

I also found out recently the EL84s sound like shit when dimed....

 

[Monkey Man]

If this thread is still about Peavey...

Sadly it's not bro'.

The insults and political posting have rendered it OTC-worthy I'm afraid guys, so off we go...

Stop judging my gear choices, you meanie!

I'm not surprised Dan had to bring his bullshit out to the main forum, though I am surprised that he snagged a couple boyfriends out there. Everything he says is either blatant propaganda or just so god damn stupid no one takes it seriously.

Conflict of interest ? You sure conflict of interest is the right term ?


Not chosen by voters eh. Who was it again that voted to run Kamala last election ?



You know, some of the shit you say ( not much, but some) is actually true, the problem is that in true partisan dumbass fashion you only point it out when it's not democrats doing it.

Yeah the political arguments broke the camel's back; had it not been for them the thread would still be in the main sub-forum.

Peeps have to learn at some point to ask themselves before posting, "Is this in the main forum or OTC?".

I know; it's rocket science.

Best I can figure it, Dan got tired of getting no traction from the regulars in here and decided he might have some luck out there. I suppose he was right.

first amp = tko 80 solid state bass amp. hit with my hohner strat and ross distortion.

That was my first bass amp too. It actually sounded great with my old Les Paul Recording bass.

I still have one. I had it to my tech for some repairs a few years back when my old man could still play. It was his favorite amp.

 

[BABMusic]

My first real amps I ever played were a JCM800 (the one no one wanted), a JCM900 (I think it was the SLX) and an original 5150. The 5150 was at a local pawn shop that was being sold on consignment by someone I knew and admired. I plugged in and it blew me away. Yeah, that's pretty much my story.

To me it seems odd that the current economic system relies on growth. It's not sufficient to just be successful (making a healthy profit); a company has to be more successful than it was before. Otherwise the investment doesn't return enough; the 401Ks won't grow and retirement saving will collapse etc. (401Ks can't stay flat given inflation). Seems like a bad system.

But companies like Peavey I think get stuck. They have to sell out to cheaper manufacturing to try to be ever more profitable or are vulnerable to a take over if they "merely" stay successful.

It's a function of an economic system rooted in interest bearing debt. Because there's always more debt than money in the system, everything has to keep growing faster than the interest rate or it all falls apart. We need to come up with a new system, because we have surpassed the Earth's carrying capacity and at the current rate of growth, we will need all the energy in the entire galaxy within about 400 years.

 

[BABMusic]

We had a great system before called capitalism. No need to reinvent what we know works. This current system is not capitalism.

... because we have surpassed the Earth's carrying capacity and at the current rate of growth, we will need all the energy in the entire galaxy within about 400 years.

Hyperbole much bro'?

Eh how how? Carrying capacity as in population?

We are on the cliff of a global demographic collapse due to lack of children being born outside of subsaharan africa (where the majority of all human children will be born by the end of the century)

People worry about AI taking their jobs but unless the expectation was for subsaharan africa (who can't stop killing each other long enough to support themselves) to support the entire world economy, it probably arrived just in time.

If we don't see a radical birth rate reversal across Asia/Europe/America then you're just going to see colossal wealth consolidation among the few people in developed nations still having children but no growth in production because of lack of modern consumers.

Most scientific indicators suggest humanity is over Earth's carrying capacity, using resources faster than they can regenerate, with the Global Footprint Network estimating we need 1.7 Earths to sustain current consumption, though the exact number is debated due to technology, lifestyle, and resource use variations. We've been in "ecological overshoot" since the 1970s, meaning our demand exceeds the planet's biocapacity.

There are limits to the life-sustaining resources earth can provide us. In other words, there is a carrying capacity for human life on our planet. Carrying capacity is the maximum number of a species an environment can support indefinitely. Every species has a carrying capacity, even humans. However, it is very difficult for ecologists to calculate human carrying capacity. Humans are a complex species. We do not reproduce, consume resources, and interact with our living environment uniformly. Carrying capacity estimates involve making predictions about future trends in demography, resource availability, technological advances and economic development.
