Dr Neal Curtis argues that we should avoid the neoliberal-inspired phrase of ‘taxing the rich’ and instead use ‘reclaim the wealth’. He points out the many social inequalities which exist in New Zealand.
"... the tax giveaway to landlords is estimated to cost the country $2.9 billion. To put this in perspective, that is more than the amount paid in Treaty settlements since 1985, which is about $2.7b. In other words, in one year, the current Government awarded landlords more money than has been paid out to Māori in 40 years as compensation for historical wrongs."

I'll never forget this one time I was organizing with a music workers' group against YouTube, and we met with another music union to see if they'd sign on to our demands.
One guy says, "No, YouTube is like a Creative Commons."
💀
Really? Google owns a creative commons, huh? You're just gonna let them be cultural landlords?
He says, "Where else will I get to see Miles Davis perform at such-and-such back in the day?"
Dude, if you'd rather let Google continue to be evil than risk your favorite videos being taken away from you, idk what to tell you. Maybe you shouldn't let your favorite videos just exist on a corporate server then?
This kind of pernicious entitlement that comes from some "leftists" is why we need to talk more about #degrowth, but that's a rant for another day lol.
I don't mean to be reductionist about their concerns with our campaign. That's why they're to remain nameless. They had some legitimate concerns. But I believe their hang-ups were ultimately not in music workers' best interests and did not serve our immediate needs.
They said they couldn't sign on, which was a disappointment since they had had some repute, and then they said, "but we are still your allies in the fight for streaming justice."
Maybe that's why we need comrades, not just allies.

Yep. If it begins to look genuinely powerful, it can be policed and suppressed on those platforms easily. That is just one of many reasons to boycott those things as much as we can, and if someone can't or doesn't, at least they can be aware of the limits and risks of popular participation.
@benda That's well said. I've been disturbed about that disconnect you describe, but it has been hard for me to articulate.
Seems more of us have started to get wise to it since we've become aware that Big Tech has their hands in Palestine. But I'm continually surprised by organizers (and friends and comrades) who still primarily use Meta for their organizing. Seems to me like it's shooting yourself in the foot, at best.

Cranes are indispensable in the construction, shipping, and industrial sectors, performing heavy lifting with precision and power. However, when crane brakes fail, the potential for disaster is significant. Such failures can disrupt projects, increase costs, and, most critically, endanger lives. Understanding the reasons behind brake failures and implementing preventive measures is crucial to ensure safety and operational efficiency.
Imagine wearing the same pair of shoes for daily marathons. Over time, those shoes will wear out. Crane brakes face a similar challenge. Constant use leads to the gradual degradation of brake pads, cracking of linings, and warping of metal components. These issues often develop quietly, without immediate warning signs. Regular inspections are essential to identify and replace worn parts with quality crane parts before they become liabilities. A dependable crane parts supplier can provide the necessary components to maintain smooth operations.
Crane brakes endure significant heat, especially when handling heavy loads, rapid cycles, or steep inclines. This heat, generated by friction, can cause brake fade, reducing stopping power and potentially deforming components. Operators sometimes push cranes beyond their limits, resulting in overheating. To prevent heat-related failures, allow cranes to cool between lifts and consider upgrading to parts designed for higher temperatures. A knowledgeable crane parts supplier can recommend components with superior heat resistance.
Cranes operate in harsh environments, often exposed to rain, snow, and salty air. These conditions promote rust, which can damage brake components. While surface rust may seem minor, it can infiltrate hydraulics or seize calipers, rendering brakes ineffective. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent rust-related issues. Keeping brakes clean and dry, and using protective coatings, can extend their lifespan. Investing in quality crane parts from a trusted supplier ensures durability and reliability.
Despite technological advancements, human error remains a significant risk. Operators may overload cranes, ignore warning signs, or lack proper training. These mistakes can lead to brake failures. For instance, a new operator eager to prove themselves might push the crane too hard, unaware of the consequences. Training is crucial to prevent such scenarios. Pairing skilled operators with top-quality components from a reputable crane parts supplier creates a safer work environment.
Preventing crane brake failures requires diligence and foresight. Adhering to a strict maintenance schedule is vital. Regularly check brake pads, linings, and fluids to catch wear early. Investing in quality Grove crane parts is a wise decision, as they offer long-term reliability. A reputable crane parts supplier provides components tailored to your crane’s specifications, ensuring optimal performance. Upgrading to modern brake systems can also enhance durability and efficiency.
Consider a crew in Texas working on a major oil rig project. With a tight deadline, they noticed the crane brakes were squealing and slipping. The foreman decided to push through, hoping to finish the week without incident. Unfortunately, the brakes failed mid-lift, causing a load to crash into a stack of pipes. While no one was injured, the financial impact was significant, with costly repairs and a week of downtime. This incident underscores the importance of timely maintenance and using quality crane parts.
Crane brake failures have far-reaching consequences. They can disrupt entire sites, incur significant repair costs, and undermine crew confidence. Most importantly, they pose serious safety risks. Ensuring reliable crane brakes is not just a technical necessity; it’s a commitment to safety and efficiency. Regular maintenance, careful operation, and the use of high-quality parts from a trusted crane parts supplier are essential strategies for preventing brake failures.
Treat crane brakes with the respect they deserve. Regular maintenance, smart operation, and the use of the best available parts are key to preventing failures. Establish a strong relationship with a reliable crane parts supplier to ensure access to top-quality components. By prioritizing these measures, you can maintain safe and efficient crane operations, avoiding costly and potentially dangerous brake failures.

Just eliminated another part of my digital guitar recording chain: amp modeling. As someone who's really into tube amps I could never get friends with modeling. Sure there are great sounding plug-ins or products but for me the digital domain is more usable in the realm of effects. For amps, not so much.
The elimination consists of a fairly small box that sits between my amp speaker output and audio interface input.

The Two Notes sits on top of a London City DEA100, a Dutch amp from the beginning of the 1970s. This very early specimen has plexi front and back plates. It's almost a real plexi besides some oddities and slight changes. But I had this one modded to Marshall specs and modded the input resistors to Marshall specs myself. I also added an extra tonestack switch so I can switch between the stock "vintage" setting and a more modern setting.

More or less yeah. Though back around 2013 or so, I was somewhat pleasantly surprised by how they designed their Mac AIO desktops, they actually were somewhat repair tech friendly.
The front glass was magnetically attached, so it only took a suction cup or two to start disassembly, and basic screwdrivers to remove the screen and get access to the motherboard, hard drive, RAM, DVD drive, etc.
And yes you could replace or upgrade parts as necessary, none of this newer soldered on storage shit they do these days.
I've lost a lot of respect for companies that solder on important parts that should rightfully be fairly easy to replace or upgrade.
Plus, now the big companies have taken to forcing encryption on the storage devices, effectively locking the drive to the system. Well isn't that just cute for the backup operator that's trying to recover your late grandmother's family photos...
