I'm curious if my fellow musicians do much intentional listening to music. We are bombarded with requests to listen to songs - but how often are we sitting down to listen to new music without it being background for some other activity?

Help me to understand. Locking away an undocumented immigrant in Alligator Alcatraz costs 90K a year. If the inmate was working, there is an average loss of 8K in taxes a year. The individual may have received SNAP and Medicaid benefits of 15K/year. How does this make sense?
