Stock Market Falls As Oil Prices Skyrocket On Iran Conflict: Weekly Review - Lemmy.World

The stock market fell and crude oil prices skyrocketed as the U.S. and Israel launched heavy attacks on Iran. Crude and LNG shipments essentially halted through the Strait of Hormuz. Treasury yields also jumped. The Dow Jones and Russell 2000 were the hardest hit. The Nasdaq fell modestly as software continued to rebound while AI chipmakers Broadcom (AVGO [https://research.investors.com/quote.aspx?symbol=AVGO]) and Marvell Technology(MRVL [https://research.investors.com/quote.aspx?symbol=MRVL]) jumped on earnings. Still, all of the key indexes are below their 50-day moving averages. The jobs report stunned with a sizable drop in nonfarm payrolls, adding to market woes on Friday.

Streaming services have made music both better and worse

Streaming services have made music both better and worse - Lemmy.World

They have made better by democratizing it and making more kinds of music accessible to more people on demand. It‘s worse because music can be produced and uploaded by, at best, mediocre talent, and artists get paid a pittance. For every hundred songs, 3-5 might be “ok” and one or two are “keepers” if you’re lucky. Gone are the days where bands have a string of bangers and albums loaded with great songs. A lot of music just seems to be thrown at the wall to see what sticks. There were a lot of downsides to major label controlled music industry, but they also made some great bands.

Why. Ship‘s doing ship things and trump shoots it like target practice. He‘s got to be trying to start a wider conflict to avoid being removed from office.
