this is the problem with old people. they have skills but what the employers look for is somebody who is teachable. nobody needs people with skills from 50 years ago. businesses need people with skills of tomorrow. fucking hate old people who build all this useless garbage. they afflict DIY speaker building as well. in many cases they are also the moderators on forums and ban people like me who want to use latest technology.

think about it - the stuff we think of as "high tech" like stealth bombers - was produced half a century ago. think about how far back in time it was CONCEIVED then engineered, then prototypes built etc. and these old farts are building steam trains in the middle of the 21st century. what useless garbage - they should all be turned into soap. design and build something next gen or at least next level or kill yourself.

the whole island of Japan is of course these old subhumans that build useless trinkets for other old people in America and Europe to buy literally all of the speakers made in Japan are purchased by like 80 year olds in US and Europe zero innovation. just tinkering.
America cannot build the Saturn V any more. Do you have any idea how many things Australia cannot build any more? On the index of economic complexity, AU has dropped from 30-somethingth place in my childhood to 119th, now. Burkina Faso now has a more developed economy than Australia. Burkina Faso, formerly known as Upper Volta, and famous mostly for its red-bereted dictator. If we piss off China, we'll be lucky to build steam trains. More likely horses, but only if some old guy still knows how to make saddles...
