@WallStreetSilv Riskier customers have a better chance of going into foreclosure, therefore hedge funds like Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street can buy those properties for pennies on the dollar, making them unavailable for the average homebuyer to buy a home. It’s all by design.
The cause of chronic diseases we spend millions of dollars every year treating is right under our noses.
In our food. In our water.
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used to create plastics. This stuff is everywhere. And it's terrible for you.

Any zoomer who thinks right pic is above average attractive doesn't understand that in the 90s, a "7" looked like left pic.
"Above average" meant something else back then. There'd be like ten girls
as or more beautiful than Connelly working at every chain restaurant.
New large-scale vegetable oil study reveals that, surprise surprise, vegetable oil is worse for cardiovascular health than animal fats. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence in older Chinese is higher for those who consume vegetable oil (31.68%) than lard or animal products (17.46%). It may be worthwhile noting that lard today is generally very poor quality, because of the pigs' diets, so the fat actually more closely resembles vegetable and seed oils than it once did. If the comparison had been between vegetable oil and, say, grassfed butter, I'd expect the gap in CVD prevalence to be even greater.
Unironically 100% no joke, white dudes being sad on guitar has done more cultural harm to white kids than gangsta rap ever did for black kids.
Entire generations that now associate feeling sad with having a personality.
No 13 year old should be allowed to listen to Radiohead.
Billionaire corporations have ruined everything. Film, housing, Healthcare, food, you name it. This was enabled by the government. This is why we (millennials/zoomers) can't have anything nice.
Telling people things like "it's okay to wait until you're 35 to have kids" or "it's ok to be only 20lbs overweight" is done with good intentions.
Being too strict can drive people away and stigmatize them.
But it doesn't work. In fact, it makes things worse.
People will naturally push 35 years old to 40 years old. Fertility tanks after 35. Most people won't even think about it until it's too late.
People will naturally push 20 lbs overweight to 50lbs overweight. It's only an extra few lbs so what's the big deal?
You must set the expectation somewhere. Why set the bar low?
Set a strong opening bid and settle somewhere in reality.
The Fed just announced it will introduce its “FedNow” Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in July. CBDCs grease the slippery slope to financial slavery and political tyranny.
While cash transactions are anonymous, a #CBDC will allow the government to surveil all our private financial affairs. The central bank will have the power to enforce dollar limits on our transactions restricting where you can send money, where you can spend it, and when money expires.
A CBDC tied to digital ID and social credit score will allow the government to freeze your assets or limit your spending to approved vendors if you fail to comply with arbitrary diktats, i.e. vaccine mandates.
The Fed will initially limit its CBDC to interbank transactions but we should not be blind to the obvious danger that this is the first step in banning and seizing bitcoin as the Treasury did with gold 90 years ago today in 1933.
Watch as governments, which never let a good crisis go to waste, use Covid-19 and the banking crisis to usher in a new wave of CBDCs as a safe haven from germ-laden paper currencies or as protection against bank runs.
