An auntie was recently telling me Sai Baba said something to the effect of “poor people are starving because they wasted food in a past life”. Vilifying poor people to feel better about not doing anything to actually help is a tale as old as time.

Final Cut Pro. I know it’s asking a lot and I know a lot of talented people have tried and are trying to build NLEs and all my gratitude to them. But—no offense intended—none are there yet and actually accomplishing this would be #1 on my magical (no effort provided by me) wishlist.
