Watch-read-and learn. We've all been suckers to what the politicians, pundits and the people they trot out to talk about the economy. Our neoliberal mindset is rigidly affixed to a false doctrine of how our government can run the nations business. Kept there by our wealthy elitists and a brain washed system of higher education.
Follow the history deep into human culture and a pattern emerges from how the concentration of wealth worms its way into the political spectrum to further their longevity generationally to stay wealthy and in control. Empires erode from it. Greece and Roman. Contemporary United States?
Brief periods emerge where they're tamped down some and regular society can claw their way back up to a civilized life of thriving. Like the Gilded Age post period where anti-trust laws broke up monopolies. Or like the post WW2 years were till the 1980's when trickle-down, neoliberal, financialized economics solidified into where we're at now.
Here the 2nd part of Ben Norton's Geopolitical Economic Report with economist Michael Hudson gives a prescription for the global south formerly colonized countries of the BRICS coalition and even our own if the veil of ignorance is ever lifted from or forced upon the purveyors of governmental policy. To change the way our government and the way business is run. Efficiently for most of us, not at the expense of us for a sliver of the population. You can't demand change if you don't try to understand what has been done to us. To see, there really is an alternative.

I got a pair of Mullard KT88 tubes today. Soon, I'll swap 'em out on my Audio Note Kit 2 and give 'em a few weeks listening time. Then I'll report back.
I also noticed on another thread that pos was asking about quiescent current in the Audio Note amp. I'll try to remember to open up the bottom, power it up and measure the voltage across the cathode resistors to know the current.
