🚨 🚨 🚨
The #Texans and All-Pro edge Will Anderson Jr. have agreed on a blockbuster, 3-year, $150M extension with $134M guaranteed to make him the NFL’s highest paid non-QB ever.
The deal, which includes a rare no-trade clause, was done by @AgentNicoleLynn of @KlutchSports.
$625k home
20% down-payment
$500k mortgage
With a 7% interest rate and a 30-year term, you are paying $697,544.64 in interest.
The $625,000 house cost you $1,447,544.64.
This is equal to a $4,021 monthly rental payment, plus you pay for maintenance and repairs.
Houses cost so much because people can borrow money that’s created with the press of a button to buy them.
If everyone had to pay in cash for their home, prices would drop significantly.
Most people think mortgages are designed to help them.
But NO.
Mortgages are designed to earn profits for banks.
WOW 🚨 Delta Dental is considered a nonprofit but the CEO skyrocketed her pay from $4.5 million per year all the way to $48 million over 4 years
That’s $1 million dollars per month pay for one employee as a nonprofit
“Delta Dental is considered a non-profit, and as such you can be their taxes online. So I got curious in their 2014 filing, the IRS requests for the organization's top accomplishments.
Delta Dental reported that over 95% of claims electronic, online and paper were processed without any manual intervention. That means when your care is denied, there is less than 1 in 10 chance a human reviewed it
— That same year, Delta dished out up to a 30% pay cut on the care that doctors deliver, and for a decade, they did not raise what they pay for your dental care by a single penny.
Meanwhile, their CEO's salary skyrocketed. She went from 4.5 to $15 million a year. From 2014 to 2018, she made off with almost $48 million before leaving her position. That's a million dollars a month. Must be nice. And she's not even a clinician. She's a CPA.
You don't have to be an accountant to do the math. Dr. Pay cuts stagnant reimbursements. They were never about saving patients money on premiums.”
He drives a school bus in Dallas, Texas. But the kids on his route call him something else — Dad.
Every morning before the sun is fully up, Curtis Jenkins pulls his yellow school bus to the curb and waits. Not just to pick up kids. To see them.
For seven years, Curtis noticed things other people missed. The little girl who folded her paper lunch bag perfectly every day but left it on the bus — because there was nothing inside. The boy whose shoes were too small. The kids who got on quiet, eyes down, carrying weight no child should have to carry alone.
So Curtis did something simple. He made his bus a community.
He gave every child a job — a greeter, an assistant, a "police officer" keeping order in the aisles. Every morning he'd call out, "We're going to care about each other and love everybody, right?" And 50 small voices would answer back.
But it didn't stop there.
Over the years, Curtis spent thousands of dollars of his own money — money he saved by skipping his own Christmas gifts with his wife — on birthday cards, bikes, backpacks, turkeys at Thanksgiving, and 70 hand-wrapped Christmas presents. He didn't buy random gifts. He asked each child what they wanted. Then he went and got exactly that.
No donation page. No announcement. No cameras.
When the story finally got out and people questioned how a bus driver could afford it, Curtis just smiled.
"It doesn't take money. It takes discipline."
But here's the part that will stay with you.
When a reporter asked the kids what they loved most about Curtis — not one of them mentioned the gifts.
A fifth grader named Ethan, whose parents had divorced when he was four, looked up and said quietly:
"He's the father that I always wanted. In some ways, I wish my dad could have been like that."
Curtis heard it. Didn't flinch. Just nodded.
"That's the paycheck right there," he said later. "If I can get that, you can keep the money."
He wasn't looking for a medal. He wasn't going viral on purpose. He was just a man who decided, every single morning, that his bus would be the safest place those kids walked into all day.
Sometimes the person who changes a child's life forever isn't a teacher or a coach or a counselor.
Sometimes it's the person behind the wheel of a yellow bus at 7 a.m. — who chose to show up, and chose to care, when nobody was asking him to.

Like … I’m sorry. The concept? The Matador versus the Bull? The music choice? The execution? The artistry? The costumes? The chemistry!
Chock and Bates were robbed, and I’m not afraid to say it
