No it is not AI. A portion of what we are seeing now in various companies and layoffs is finally the bad policies during covid that shut down so many mom and pop stores as well as business that did not have a market cap of billion or more. The true cost of their idiotic power grab and shutting...

I agree that woke is a problem. However, I believe in every problem there is a solution we just have to identify the problem at it's simplest terms, the lowest common denominator. Social security it's most basic of problems is that it needs funding. When it was started we had 160 workers to a...

It is fundamentally flawed. At the time when they ran their models they never accounted for todays low birth rates due to low marriage rates as well as they never accounted on the industry of mass murder of the unborn. When your model is built on having more workers than retirees. Then you...

Appreciate the kindness of your words. It truly has become a emotionally charged word such as other words like the definition of a woman. So my argument was consistent avoiding the emotional charge and sticking to the text book definition and legal definition of entitlement and using it in...

Is Social Security An Entitlement? by Devin Carroll, CFP® Yes. I know…this is a term that can get some people really fired up. I can understand why. After all, the term entitlement has taken on a demeaning definition that insinuates getting something that you haven’t earned or maybe even...

But wait if you eat spaghetti or calamari doesn't that count as having a background in Italy or Italians.........LOL I am a wop with both of my grandmothers being immigrants from the old country. Now that I made that last part of my comment I hope no one confuses that with the rap song and...

Fingers crossed if what Trump is doing we should start to see the debt being paid down in the last year or two of his Presidency. I know it don't seem like it but right now he is working on deficit spending to get it down or even where revenue and expenditures are a wash. His first plan was...

People getting laid off from tech jobs like the new ones you are reporting and even some of the past months. They will be counted as employed bro. Reason being is tech always has a good severance package they are just cash heavy and sitting on billions of dollars of cash. I looked at just...

Their original sin was love. We know this is true because if you love God you will keep his commandments. They had sinned before they were tempted they had sinned in their hearts. Why Christ did the whole discourse on sin starts in our hearts, look upon a woman to lust after her and you have...
