my last guitar cost 180 new and plays better than any American guitar I've played and stays in tune better than my other guitars.

Ppl who don't feel like looking around for their best fit will just say "nicer things cost more" cus they don't feel like putting the work into saving dough so come up with that excuse to delude themselves into thinking they got a good value

With that logic, a Corvette is a nicer vehicle than a motorcycle despite being slower, having worse gas mileage, looking like an old man should be behind the wheel, and having shit handling. Corvettes are only good for getting groceries if you're goal while shopping is picking up an 80 year woman instead of snacks.

Liberals love to move to cities with lots of money flowing through them so that they can tax the shit out of everyone and spend it frivolously through the government, so no surprise there.

While this does prove me wrong that there are actual non-liberal cities out there, I wouldn't call any of those conservative. They're slightly right of center at most, with a great majority being liberal and quite a few going much further left than it goes right.

Theyre still much more conservative than San Jose and Portland and arent attracting high growth and high wage jobs with their policies

Yea... like one of those $20,000 a month deals with a nice view of the skyline, a rooftop patio to enjoy the NY summer nights.

I can do just about everything with setting up/intonating/etc and all that really matters is the quality of the body/neck when it comes to cheap guitars (never a problem w/ Thomann). The guitar was actually 130ish but I spent a little bit more to replace the tuners, bridge, and pots.

Also Fender doesn't shim their necks on any guitar unless it's a custom shop which is a huge downside. Gibson doesn't count since they can't do anything right. They're good if you want a guitar w/o a headstock after the first bump.

It's only complex because they have to keep track of 70+ genders and worry about every word they say possibly offending someone.

It's like a slalom race but the racer decides to put more posts/barriers/whatever they're called in slalom to "be hip"

IDK.

Thanks, stay tuned for my book announcement

"Space Man says the Darndest Things volume II"

coming to a bookstore near you

but did you guys get what I meant by the Slalom? It's not a fish, btw. It's skiing. I thought it was fish for the longest time so it's safe to say my first slalom race was a bit embarrassing.

You just really have to think about it. Wall Street is not exactly liberal and it's one of the main drivers for the growth of NYC. Liberals hate corporations, but they flock to cities to work for these giant companies, which pays them well, which increase consumer spending, which help increase growth. It's like symbiote and host working together to drive the economy forward.
