Economics. Consumer Financial Policy. Mushrooms: Images my own. Been places. Have views.
Yes! Bank failure and over indebtedness are policy decisions too.
Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

$2bn sent to xAi.

xAi is Grok.

Grok creates illegal /immoral CSAM.

= Fiduciary duties call for disinvesting from illegal businesses.

(Smoke and puffs have so far not convinced large funds to sell. A pair of Fiduciary balls may emerge now?)

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Contrast with:

'Drop your feelings and do some numbers'

Debunking the Pelosi investment return/ scam myth.

'It's not magic, it's compounding'

Which really is much better than magic. Only ingredient is time.
This video isn’t opinion — it’s math.

Big numbers without timelines are how people get misled.
Add time back in, and the story changes completely.

I’ll keep breaking these claims down one lie at a time — with sources, timelines, and receipts.

Best bet for Europe is to continue threatening the Silicon Valley tycoons and broligarchs with economic boycotts.

Go after the money. Hurt their bottom line.

The only thing that might avert war.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

The death toll from the attack on Venezuela is now at 80, per Venezuelan officials. That includes civilians. Every article about the attack, or how the US somehow claims it will run the country, should mention the fact that, you know, people died, including civilians. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Let's be clear:
Can y'all please stop stating the bloody obvious about the insanity.
Start with what you are going to do about it.
And if that action involves writing a strongly worded letter (gasp!), please rather go and volunteer at the local food bank or something similiar than wasting time.
Let’s be clear: the Trump Admin is lying to the American people. This has never been about stopping drugs from coming to the US — it’s about grabbing Venezuela’s oil for his billionaire buddies. Trump has put American troops in harm’s way to boost oil company profits. Outrageous.

And another favourite from - Making Money- by Terry Pratchett regarding potatoes.

"Potatoes will get you through times of no gold better than gold will get you through times of no potatoes".

"Fear is strange soil. Mainly it grows obedience like corn, which grows in rows and makes weeding easy. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground."
