"The world is changed by average everyday ordinary people who have had enough and are willing to stand up for a country and a planet that is more humane, peaceful and just.
If you are a human being, stand up for your planet before it's too late."
-- Tom Morello

If you hoard N95 masks at the beginning of an epidemic in order to profit from selling them, you are considered an asshole. This is, I believe, because N95 masks are scarce necessities, and profiting from scarce necessities is considered immoral.
However, if you hoard apartments in order to profit from renting or selling them, you are considered a smart investor. This even though apartments are scarce necessities, which are much harder to turn abundant than N95 masks.
Got to love Finnish Christmas carols. Some of the most popular have topics like the loneliness of grandparents living alone in the countryside, the cruelty done to caged birds, and the death of a child.
But we also have a few happy ones! For example:
We're all mother's piglets. /
Life lasts only a moment /
and it's gloomy and tedious. /
We're all mother's piglets.
It's been two weeks but I still can't get over that new cover of The Girl From Ipanema I heard on the radio.
The production and vocals were, like in most such covers, boring and unoriginal.
But that wasn't the worst part.
What disturbed me was that there was no B section. It was just A on a loop. They cut out the heart of the song.
People of all ages can appreciate Bohemian Rhapsody, but labels don't think they can handle 2 sections in a song anymore.
*smh*
