Hi @alanthefisher! Love your content. I was wondering if you could do a video that applied the train system that Switzerland uses (the connections to rural stops) and apply that to rural areas of the northeast US (East Stroudsburg near the Dansburg Depot for example).

Now, says advisor, remove the goat. Days later the man returns smiling, happy. He thanks his advisor for making everything better.
Bush and Obama were a mess, Trump was the goat, and with Biden everything is "better."

To be clear, every single politician against Medicare for all agrees with this. No matter how much they pretend otherwise.

@StuderSumina Better to be safe than sorry! Hope you and your family are well!

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

No doubt the right has bastardized "free speech" by invoking it as a shield to hide objectively wrong takes. It's a way to not discuss the actual argument & straw man dissenters as intolerant of disagreement. But we can both call this out & *actually* be proponents of free speech

@StuderSumina I think you're better off staying where you are. It really is not the great here, and probably will not be until a vaccine is developed.

@laura_keim217 Oh that's disgraceful...

[Eric Papa | Clarinetist @ericpapa1996]

Not only this, but we as a country should heavily invest in high-speed electric rail to lower carbon emissions due to heavy car traffic and national plane travel!

[Ed Markey @EdMarkey]

Public transit should be free. Pass it on.

[Ed Markey @EdMarkey]

Free public transit is critical to achieving real social and economic justice. I am proud to have introduced the Freedom to Move Act with @ayannapressley to improve and expand public transportation and fund fare-free service.

[Eric Papa | Clarinetist @ericpapa1996]

Yes! More investments should be made in the arts and music!

[Jess Scarane @JessforDelaware]

I learned about the Federal Arts Projects recently.

We invested the equivalent of $505M to employ artists, writers, musicians, & actors because "arts, no less than biz, agriculture, & labor, are the immediate concern of the ideal commonwealth."

We can invest in people again.

All I am arguing is that the issue of concert dress appears to be the least salient aspect of the larger problem of low attendance at concerts/lower interest in classical music amongst younger people.

[Eric Papa | Clarinetist @ericpapa1996]

Maybe instead of being concerned about something as shallow as what one wears when they are performing, we should be discussing ways in which we can actually help bring classical music to a wider audience. Lowering ticket prices, more online concerts, etc.

[Eric Papa | Clarinetist @ericpapa1996]

the conversation we should be having when we need to start discussing how we can have our music reach a wider audience.

Andrew Cuomo is right that schools are confronting a historic moment. But the intervention needed is vastly more public funding, with schools focused on learning — not testing, surveillance, or market-friendly reforms. https://t.co/6mt2R1iC18

@StuderSumina file:///Users/ericpapa/Downloads/black_beethoven_and_the_racial_politics.pdf.pdf - This is an interesting read about the subject. The theory of Beethoven's ethnicity actually goes back pretty far.
