Episode 262: The Shitcaca Sküll
Play Now!I’m reminded almost daily about how the current elevation of private enterprise has made our lives crap. It's helpful to remember that this industrial fetish had an origin, and can be reversed, as I discuss in this Episode 262: The Shitcaca Sküll.In this episode, I read from: Kim Phillips-Fein's book, Invisible Hands: The Making of the Conservative Movement from the New Deal to Reagan; and from Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway's book The Big Myth: How American Business Taught Us To Loathe Government and Love the Free Market. Lots more to come from both of those books.I play: a snippet of the National Association of Manufacturers' propagandistic short movie, Your Town, a Story of America. Musically, in a new intro KMFDM opens the show backing George Monbiot's observation about how far into the brainwashing stage this Chicago School focus on private wealth has taken us. I close today with Julie & Rolf & the Campfire Gang doing "Over The Rainbow".

Regarding your issue transferring a high-quality picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat I do in your situation is I use a messaging app. Telegram lets you send images completely uncompressed. Whatsapp and Signal both have a button for "less" compression so a higher image quality. You send the file to yourself and use the desktop appplication or the webbrowser client to receive it and download it, and then you have it on your computer. It's dumb and convoluted, but sometimes that's what it takes to deal with tech. Because tech hates you.
Or I guess you could use e-mail for the same purpose, if you can access it from your phone.
Anyway. Good luck.
Pim! Email from the phone! Duh! Yes, I could do that!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
