Yes, right, if you have a foreign-exchange derivative product that carries “lucrative fees,” that *means* that the customers don’t understand it. (If they understood it, they’d demand lower fees.) If you have a product like that, you will naturally be tempted to sell it to as many customers as possible. And then every so often, something will go wrong, and you’ll have to spend a year or two resisting that temptation and having contrite no-materials meetings with the customers to make them feel better.

When vegetarians and vegans limit politics to the realm of animal rights, we are doing ourselves a disservice. If Bloodroot has taught us anything in its almost three decades of existence, it is that feminism, progressive politics, animal rights, and environmentalism work best when they work together.

Stereo width is a big part of the *Glowed Up* mix, with the 808 and synth chords being ultra-wide in the mix, and other sounds like the outro melody being completely mono. Using a mix of mono and stereoized sounds helps create a rich sounding mix, with every track having a space in the stereo spectrum.
