Yeah, I replied to myself with that idea.
People could make something really cool, but based on current culture trends if they made something new it would be incomprehensibly worse than existing retro formats in every way.

But CDs, cassettes, and vinyls all have flaws.
Cassettes have the perfect form factor, but the tape gets tangled or breaks. And skipping/searching songs is time consuming.
CDs get scratched, but let you quickly skip between songs or even shuffle! Size is OK.
Vinyls nail the physical/tactile aspect but really suck at everything else. Too big, easily scratched, etc.
So why not something better?
What if it was physical like a cassette but thinner, some kind of ssd storage for longevity and fidelity.

Demand for physical media formats is surging.
Many are attributing this to nostalgia, but that isn't right. Most of the demand is coming from generations that weren't even alive when vinyl ruled the music scene, for example.
It is a rejection and retreat from the digital dystopia. Physical isn't easier, it's not cheaper, and isn't objectively better than digital. But people want to touch and feel it. They want to own it.
So I'm surprised there isn't a new physical music format coming to rival cassettes, CDs, and vinyl.

I mean.. looks like two dudes walking?
What if they just blew up two dudes walking and called it a day?

I couldn't think of a better summary of government driven housing shortages if I tried.

Seems like the laws of supply and demand also don't like price controls and they always result in shortages.
..but maybe this time it will work?

So is the official position that pets were not being eaten in Ohio?
Are they saying the videos are fake, or simply ignoring them?

Leftists want to abolish family because it's a form of power they can't wield universally against their enemies. It's a club they can't bully their way into.
The winner is determined by "gotcha" moments rather than substance.
The audience is equally responsible.

Debates are the wrong litmus test for a good leader.
Partially because of why they matter (an uninformed public using entertainment disguised as important statecraft which they substitute for doing their own research).
