  • Sounds like an issue with your cassette deck. You should definitely be getting better audio quality with a cassette adapter, mine sounds better than a normal cassette tape. Every radio frequency transmitter I have ever tried has had severe artifacting on the high end (treble), especially prevalent on “S” sounds; they come out really static-y. At any rate, your better off doing literally anything else than repairing your cassette deck if it’s cooked, but its worth a go to try a standard aux cord cassette since they’re under $10.

    I’ve actually opted to record my playlists onto cassette tapes, and I wound up using these more than the aux adapter.

    People are not having kids because the middle class cannot afford it. Assuming your household has the average American household income of 80k. This would give the household something like 40k at most after the kid’s associated expenses, which means that each parent would have a whopping 20k to themselves. This is positively fucked because they would have to have a quality of life similar to someone who is eligible for food stamps, but they would not be themselves. Kids are for those who already benefit from government programs, or those who can afford a very expensive pet for a minimum of 15 years.

    All this will do is increase the number of children born into poverty, which already accounts for the majority of children born in America.

    You want an actual solution? Give parents food stamps up to a yearly income of 120k

    I also find the implication that a human life is worth $5,000 disgusting.

    It was clear to me that when the gov’t went after reproductive rights, it was because declining birthrates are detrimental to capitalism. The money cannot stop; the money cannot slow down. Capitalism REQUIRES exponential growth in every regard.

    Any “moral” reason given by a politician against abortion is a thinly veiled disguise to ensure that the machine always has enough cogs to keep running and growing.

    How are you going to say a fetus is priceless and then say a live infant is worth $5,000? Fucking disgusting.
