The CD was high tech when it came out. Everyone flocked to it, even though it cost twice as much as a vinyl LP. That's right, music doubled in price, and the the vinyl records disappeared from stores almost overnight ... almost as thought it was planned that way. That was the time I stopped buying music. I refused to pay twice as much for the same thing. I never started buying it again. I went from spending hundreds of dollars a year on records to spending zero. No big loss. After the 80s the music turned to shit anyway. But notice the pattern -- the price doubled, merely because the technology was arbitrarily changed. The same thing happened to the incandescent light bulb worldwide, with a little governmental regulatory help. The price went from twenty-five cents a bulb to five dollars a bulb ... for the same thing. Now they are trying to do it with cars. No more gas cars for ten thousand dollars -- in a few years the globo-fascists want you to be forced to buy an electric car for fifty thousand dollars. A EV that doesn't do as much as the old ICE did. We are being played like violins.
