Simply because the barrier for entry to music production has never been lower in the history of music production.

So many free DAWs, so many free plugins, so much budget friendly analog gear/midi controllers, and most importantly so many free resources online to learn how to produce music.

What do we think about the assertion in this meme? I know, we think it's asinine, but I'm looking for specific arguments as to why it's asinine.

If the National Voting Rights IDs are not free then it seems like an unconstitutional barrier to voting.

Republicans will block all of them but the free IDs. Here in Missouri, that's what they did.

Just getting an ID (even free) is a massive barrier to voting. It's easier to fight voter ID to begin with.

Folks w/o ID frequently also lack birth & marriage certificates. Takes $ + time.

You already have that access. This wouldn’t give you any thing.

This adds a barrier for folks trying to be car free.

My area has free buses, and the increased ridership when they got rid of fares made it so that it was cost effective to add new and more frequent bus routes.

It also helped build ridership for the paid ferry to the barrier island, since people don't have to figure out road transportation anymore.

Today, we handed out free whistles and Know Your Rights cards & zines at the Union Square Green Market. We reminded everyone that the next #NoKings rally is March 28th. It was a beautiful way to celebrate Valentine's Day! 🥰

Photo of women in Union Square, New York City. They're smiling in the sunshine and holding signs and whistles. Two black women on the left are wearing funny Valentine Day hats. A lady wearing a face mask and sitting on a stool holds a large heart-shaped sign that says: WE *heart emoji" IMMIGRANTS. HANDS OFF NYC. Other signs say: ABOLISH ICE. ICE OUT OF NYC. FREE WHISTLES! The group is distributing free whistles with Know Your Rights cards and zines to help protect our neighbors against ICE. The women are sitting and standing beside a barrier with a big yellow sign at the entrance to the Farmer's Market. Thanks to Enrique and the team at GrowNYC for advising us to stand outside the barriers so we don't disrupt the greenmarket! 50501 New York, Indivisible, Love is Power.
