I can't help but wonder what will Epiphone do about their shops in China, I've heard that they're shutting down all foreign businessess and companies. Will they move shop to India, Korea? Considering how the climate and mood is getting there...

Indonesia or South Korea. They will adapt. We’ll pay more, but the quality will still be there, probably better. Really nothing to worry about.

With the passage of the recent tech bill here, Apple and others will get huge incentives to move production to the EU and here to the US. It’s already underway.

Costs will increase. But in the end it will probably be for the best. Ultra cheap products from China will be a thing of the past. At least for some time. The world economy will adapt. And there will be a time, however long it may be, where we’ll thrive.

Frank and I will be down later today.

 

[MCF]

But you still had fun watching Marichal vs Drysdale plunking batters

Oh yeah. The Giants were the worst. There was the time they flooded the base paths at Candlestick to shut down Wills. Cheaters.

But really. I’m hesitant to get cocky. I haven’t participated in @Gaolee
‘s MLB thread this season because I don’t trust Roberts to get the Dodgers there. The Dodgers are the best team in baseball this season. They need to prove it in the post season. I’ve seen too many of Roberts’ bone head moves to have confidence they’ll get there.

My 2018 IV was China and 2014 CP was Indonesia.

Look for more Indonesian built instruments in the next few years unless political instability wrecks that.

No TV in '45.

There was. If you lived in New York, Chicago, or L.A. and could afford what would be abound 2K in today’s money to buy a set. Not saying you would have wanted to.

 

[MCF]

How do stores like Thomann still offer IV's for sale then? Doesn't make sense if production was stopped in 2018, no?

If they still have them in stock, buy one. It’s that simple.

 

[Blazer]

Made myself the owner of an Ibanez Paul Gilbert and a Legend by Aria Les Paul copy today, here I am playing both. (Not at the same time though.)

Out of stock. Restock supposedly in a week. T-Bird IV + Decent Gigbag costs 466€ I'm short 271,97. (And that's not including shipping costs) Can't afford it now even if I wanted.

Ah. So the "Italian Condition"* strikes in Spain too.

Isn’t tech amazing. And to think. When I was born, all TV was black and white.

I remember my grandpa was the first person I knew to get one of those new color TVs. (Likely still paying for it when he died.) We all went over to see such a marvel. It was cool.

What do you mean?

My funds are low.

Oh, that's a knife twister there. Don't look Jeff! These people can't be your friends.

The 2001 Mariners...

I think my grand parents got one like this ~1949.

Can't help it if I'm unemployed. I'm not swimming in money, nor I come from a rich family. It's not like the job market is doing great here in Spain either.

But there was no Netflix, so what did they watch?

Animal documentaries that hyper-focus on animals in their period of heat/breeding cycles? Those seem to be a majority for what I've seen.

There wasn't a lotta choices, but you watched 'cos it was there. I remember there being boxing(which I strongly dislike), coupla quiz shows, and ?.
