   I am a white, male software developer. I have absolutely nothing to complain about or envy others. Find something more solid to lean on than a straw man. If those who feel entitled to the work of others enrage you, then perhaps you should p

   What if you are a garbage man and an artist? What if you collect garbage for, say, three days a week? How much of your labor is absolutely necessary, and how much of it consists in generating surplus wealth for the benefit of your capital

    I think there's a difference between "enthusiast market segment" and "investment commidities". Also even Yamaha grand pianos aren't typically purchased by individuals. More like venues, etc. AFAIK most of those

    Seems less like diminishing returns and more like mass hysteria at this point. The only people I personally know of who are as detached from the rest of the market are those guys who collect Telecasters.
