A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Had to tune into kfjc because my wfmu stream kept on cutting off . .

But, I did want to say, even though obvious, that the word "Mediterranean" does indeed mean "middle Earth", even as Earth implicates Ur and Uranus.
Who put "Earth" in "hearth"? Dunno. .
But, also, heliocentric conceptualizations of reality and routine (fire) will all be destroyed by directionless "space-centric" methods of perceiving. ASAP. RIP Hubble

Mediterranean
"the sea between southern Europe and northern Africa," 1590s, earlier Mediterranie (c. 1400), from Late Latin Mediterraneum mare "Mediterranean Sea" (7c.), from Latin mediterraneus "midland, surrounded by land, in the midst of an expanse of land" (but in reference to the body of water between Europe and African the sense probably was "the sea in the middle of the earth"); from medius "middle" (from PIE root *medhyo- "middle") + terra "land, earth" (from PIE root *ters- "to dry").

Inflation, middle class, etc are all just rhetoric that can be twisted by very willing media. "Quality of life" is rhetoric too but I think it has a more direct connection with people's desires. QOL was good under Trump, with the exception of all the media hysteria. QOL is bad under Biden, simple.

@Robm have been trying to get kids out of the apt and finally have. Now that I’ve set up the hammock in the park, have Trouble on, a stack of books (one on William Kunstler, by Burroughs and a signed copy of Alex Vitale’s “The End of Policing”), and can finally catch up again.
Don’t really follow the politics of BAI. Like certain shows like Law and Disorder, and Gary Null is a NYC icon (though he sometimes lately veers a bit too RW at times, which I don’t think he is). Anyway, overall they’ll always be such a necessary radical voice in a desert of compliant mainstream media that do nothing more than run distraction from how the capitalist economic system is driving society to ruin.

the restrictions on oil production, exploration and drilling leases that the Biden administration have put in place have caused market effects that are responsible for all time high fuel prices.

@tony - serious question: if what you say is true, then why are the oil companies posting record profits?

@Yeti-Bob- from memory here- that $250,000 number comes from spending power today VS when the concept of Middle Class was created

@Panther. That was a short piece on economic history. It’s about the world you live in. It’s accurate and not political. Trouble is an artist and an extraordinary DJ. Artists are observers and feel cultural shifts and injustices in their soul. I’m grateful that Trouble shares a few minutes out of her three hours of fantastic music selections to inform listeners of important issues that effect us all.

The best economic takes to me can be found on Naked Capitalism, Counterpunch; anything by Michael Hudson, Richard Wolff, Matt Taibbi, George Monbiot to name a few.
Of course everyone should read the late great David Graeber. For sanity of course Chapo Trap House is indispensable, for in-depth analysis Matt Christman’s CushVlog.

@PR1922: Average family income in 1950 was $3300 (source: census.gov). A 1950 dollar is worth $12.30 today. 12.30 * 3300 = 40590. Nowhere near 250K.

@abbazabba
profits are based on the difference between costs and income. the oil companies sell fuel based on anticipated costs for raw materials (crude oil), refinery operation and transportation costs. they base thier at the pump prices assuming the price of oil and transporttion will continue to rise.

PR: Per the 'pedia: "The modern usage of the term "middle-class", however, dates to the 1913 UK Registrar-General's report, in which the statistician T.H.C. Stevenson identified the middle class as those falling between the upper-class and the working-class"

Oshiwoshi, don’t you know your whole value and identity as a human being is tied up in what you “do,” your job?

We’re all just good obedient cogs in the relentlessly churning capitalist grinder. As long as the Amazon treats keep flowing no one wants to cause any Trouble. And especially don’t give any thought to the reality that most of these disposable treats and goodies are made by child slave labor in SE Asia.

These kinds of discussions will *never* take place in the MSM.

to me trickle down works and i have seen it in action.
if a company makes more profit at the end of the year because their tax obligation is lower they have more funds to invest in new programs which leads to more jobs and improved economy.
