"make a rational logical point"

I seriously read your comment twice and I found 0 in it logic just wild, looney ranting. But I am a liberal so I probably lack the context. 

"Only Larsman reads you posts. "

I don't count, don't matter apparently!!!

:)

@noske I only read the translation of The Capital, it was dry but an OK read, and a clear scope/moral of the story:

People who own the factories should be the people who work in them. The rest is history.

besides where it's made, there is where it's designed, where it's owned, where it pays taxes/avoids to pay taxes, where patents are owned, where the parts are made, where the source of the parts are mined, etc.

Being from a country that has sunk to the "assembly country" level from the highest Noble prizes per capita era,  I feel it yields much better dividends to invent, design and own products than to lego them together while your eyes are falling out. (and yes I know little about the manufacturing process)   

Also quantity-wise, the brands of 98% of audio products sold today are never mentioned in this forum. I doubt they are made anywhere outside southeast Asia

I think the State of HiFi product made in a country says a lot about the country's technological state, as in education, innovation, agility and to some extent: appreciation of music. I am surprised (is that good or bad :) ) the US has so many high-end companies!  

@jcoehler many people don’t think their racist, antiX, proY posts are edgy. They just think it’s free, open, peaceful discussion, thinking out loud, expression, exchanging ideas. But as soon as someone says: "hey you’re intolerant" they call it unacceptable.

can you all list the price again next to the brand and country name, otherwise it doesn't twist my Communist brain properly

this one you just can't make up

"I hate obama even though I voted for him"

I like him and I never voted for him. I though he lacked crucial qualities for a president. I am sorry people like you put him in office. Sounds like you made us both unhappy. 

I am a trained Marxist too, but the lazy type :)

I think we got way off the subject, my bad 

@tonywinga 

"What a waste when people are paid not to contribute."

it is a really poorly designed system, and there is a better one, it's called socialism. 

You probably mean Communist countries. That’s different. I grew up in one.
I was thinking Sweden and Germany and the likes. Where you don’t have to bring sharpies and curtains to the school to have a functioning classroom as the government takes care of it from your taxes. You also don’t have to give money to charities and the homeless because the government and NGOs take care of them.

we must have been in different Germanies then

Communism was terrible. Almost more surreal than Trump. People who want communism back are the lazy, corrupt ones who prefer to get rich by backstabbing others and assisting to a corrupt system. I always stood up against it and I was always punished for it, some of my relatives went to jail. 

@henry53 in Eastern Europe a decent speaker (5 grand) would cost 10 grand out the door and you'd have to put 10 months of your salary away for it.

dude, you missed your meds?

median usually tries to present the way the "average guy" lives (the one halfway up the ladder). It is totally deceptive to clueless people

@fleschler 

you were able to contradict yourself in one paragraph. Not that any of it made ANY sense
