Ordinary Americans are increasingly using their credit cards to pay everyday expenses like groceries. Medical emergencies can financially wipe out people. The increased use of credit cards is not being used to buy discretionary items but to pay off debt.

The low level blockade of the US was not a problem for Iran until Washington started attacking ships carrying Iranian oil. Iran was losing a lot of sales. So, Iran told the US that retaliation would be 1.5 for everything America does in the future.

Germany holds the unique responsibility for perpetrating the Holocaust, which killed 6 million Jews (roughly one-quarter of all Jews at the time). So, it has been supportive of Israel regardless of its actions. Now, this is seen as supporting genocide.

The SAT & ACT stopped being used because the correlated closely with wealth, class & race. By disregarding standardized scores, everyone was supposed to be on a more even footing. But, grade inflation means some students have to relearn middle school math.

Items that determine your wealth beyond investment returns: 1) how much you save; 2) who you marry (or don't); 3) fixed cost lifestyle; 4) career choice (salary); 5) use of systems or reliance on motivation; and 6) numerous honourable mentions.

Job seekers should focus on what they can control. They cannot control the job market, but they can control how they present themselves. They need to learn how to communicate better & conduct themselves when interacting with potential employers (has hints).https://t.co/8FzgcyBzKd

The public pressure on Trump now seems to be reaching a crescendo when it comes to AI. He just put forward an Executive Order that seems to pave the way for mandatory vetting, federal pre-approval of advanced AI systems, & other regulations. Trump did this?https://t.co/XRE04KFd4y

I liked Hoda Kotb's message at Fordham University best. She reminded everyone that all of our journeys are unique and we should not compare ourselves to others who might reach important achievements before all of us. Her greatest blessings came after 50.

Reputation Risk is the biggest financial threat facing firms today. There are already banks that won't lend money to fossil fuel companies for fear of alienating customers. It is no surprise that there is backlash against a bank that is financing ICE jails.https://t.co/70CN1Vxu83

Experts have been saying for a while now that the market is in a bubble. Yet, it keeps going higher & higher, with the S&P 500 hitting a record today. Suze Orman's advice in this kind of market is to put a set amount in every month (dollar cost averaging).

This channel is completely AI generated, but content is accurate. Cheating at universities is not increasing, but the form it is taking is increasingly through AI and today students are less likely to turn in other students for cheating. So, some changes.

The top 2 films in the US, "Backrooms" and "Obsession" were made by directors who honed their skills on YouTube. These were low-budget horror films, and the directors were able to use their YouTube platforms to market them. Hollywood is losing its monopoly.https://t.co/8Ilxjkdpw9

This video points out the importance of the sometimes extended length of the period where people are stuck in rumination & tiredness before they heal enough to get to a more authentic version of themselves. This prolonged period is important for processing.https://t.co/Ef5xZBEUq7

June 1 is World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day. Many terms from narcissistic sphere have come into everyday usage like gaslighting, love bombing, etc. As an educator, I recognize my responsibility in helping young people cope with narcissism's ravages.

The BBC went to European sources for satellite images & found much more damage has been caused to US bases than America admits. The reporters were also impressed by the precision of the targeting. But, economic damage has caused civilian suffering in Iran.
