WSJ highlights lady who can’t pay minimum credit card payments on 194K annual salary
Posted by sidewalkside on 5/29/26 at 3:06 pm
Of course they don’t go into detail about any of her spending habits but if you can’t make ends meet and/or pay off your 15K credit card balance much less make the minimum payments due on an almost 200K annual salary you’re probably making TERRIBLE financial decisions and only have yourself to blame. But you know…nobody takes personal accountability these days.
Except from article: “
After working all day as an operations director at a busy New England hospital, Catherine Clarke would lie awake at night wondering where she went wrong.
Despite her $194,000 salary, Clarke’s Chase Sapphire credit-card balance had crept up to $15,000. She could afford the $572 monthly minimum, but with a 26% interest rate, it barely made a dent.
Like many Americans, Clarke, who is 42 years old, was pushed to her financial limit by the one-two punch of inflation and the highest interest rates in decades. She avoided going out with friends to save money, and considered taking a second job as a receptionist at her gym. She imagined something terrible befalling her, and her parents discovering her mounting credit-card bills.
“It felt very similar to a struggle with weight,” Clarke said. “It doesn’t happen overnight. It happens slowly, and then suddenly, you’re like ‘Oh, crap, my pants don’t fit.’”
In the first quarter of this year, the percentage of credit-card balances that were at least 90 days delinquent rose to 13.12%, according to data released in May by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. That’s the highest level in 15 years, and the most since the period following the 2008 financial crisis.“

Iran decided to launch missiles while 47 contemplates extending cease fire. No joke.

These guys are retarded or they are taking a page out of 47’s unpredictable negotiation style. Iran’s armed forces fired missiles at unidentified targets late Thursday local time, Iranian state media outlet Fars reported.

re: How would you say the economy is doing heading into midterms?
Posted by sidewalkside on 5/28/26 at 3:13 pm to CrimsonFever
10 for corporations and 3 for most consumers.
Obviously 47 has access to all the data but does he see impending economic catastrophe?
Posted by sidewalkside on 5/26/26 at 8:40 am
Other than not wanting to get us back into “forever wars” and other ideological issues he has with it…I have to wonder if his team is telling him each day we continue in this stalemate with Iran we are heading towards an economic calamity that will drag down the remainder of his term? I can’t see why else he seems so eager to strike a deal with someone who has zero Intrest in striking a deal.
47 has more balls than anyone b4 but he’s being a major pussy about Iran. Do what’s right
Posted by sidewalkside on 5/23/26 at 8:35 pm
And deal with the political pain. Deal with the economic pain. And get rid of the Islamic Republic once and for all.
Coach O is working for free basically. And I’ll take it.

Sadly I’m understanding of this assessment. Let’s get back to bombing.

I did. And I did it again when I see your crying in your response.

The Iranians will NOT negotiate in ANY way that concedes power and control. They only know force and leverage. We have to use this against them. Blockade and bomb. That’s IT. That is the only solution.

Teen Takeovers NPR says Children of color just simply visiting gentrified neighborhoods
Posted by sidewalkside on 5/18/26 at 2:02 pm
Per the recent story on morning edition. Below is the transcript from the interview.
I’ll add the highlights- as the transcript conveniently leaves out the talk that there have been multiple arrests, multiple guns recovered and multiple assaults on police officers.
They frame it as low income children of color just “visiting gentrified neighborhoods” and they are just teens doing normal teen things like “hanging out with friends and spending time outdoors”. Sounds so nice. Nothing to see here.
As the school year ends and summer break begins, police and city officials across the country are bracing for large gatherings called "teen takeovers."
Kristin Henning, a professor and director of the Juvenile Justice Clinic and Initiative at Georgetown Law, defines "teen takeovers" as a group of teenagers who get together at a designated time and location to do what teenagers do — socialize, hang out with friends and spend time outdoors.
These gatherings have been covered by the media in metropolitan areas such as Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit and Washington, D.C. Critics complain these gatherings or flashmobs are too large, disruptive and dangerous, as some meetups have turned violent. Henning says her clinic hasn't seen many arrests connected to these gatherings in the D.C. area. She told NPR's Morning Edition that the large hangouts aren't unusual but they are "getting a bad rap" because of viral video and negative media coverage.
"The reality is, in so many of these instances, we are sensationalizing teenagers, often lower income children of color, who are taking over, if you will, or visiting gentrified neighborhoods," Henning said. "The focus becomes on the delinquent or criminal activity that takes place."
NPR's Michel Martin and Henning discussed whether "teen takeovers" pose a real threat and what could effectively replace them.

I support 47 and destroying Iran. But if inflation goes to 6% as forecasted…crap
Posted by sidewalkside on 5/15/26 at 10:17 am
Trump is going to have a hell of a time fending off those attacks.
I think it’s a pain we need to endure but man that’s going to be a brutal midterm.
Per CNBC “Inflation rate projected to hit 6% in the second quarter, top economic forecasters say”

re: How many planes did they have to bring to china for all those people and SUV’s

Watching their marching band makes me think 47 should have St Aug Marching 100 come play at the White House when Xi comes and blow his mind.

Btw China is putting some respeck on 47 name rolling out the red carpet for him and crew.
How do we feel about 45/47 bringing all these CEO’s with him to china?
Posted by sidewalkside on 5/11/26 at 3:58 pm
I’m fine with it. Strength in numbers especially in very powerful industry leaders.
I can already hear the MSM crying that he’s scared and wanted back up or some bullshite like that.
