ever notice how paying off your mortgage improves your credit score but paying rent doesn't?
and how renters (who have an average net worth of $6k) can't improve their credit score so they end up paying higher interest on loans?
almost like the system is set up to keep you poor

For the record, I completely agree. I think the same is true of pre paid services like cell phone plans. Didn't the person show financial responsibility in choosing a plan they knew they had to pay in advance?
And of course the fact that lack of debt hurts credit scores is ridiculous. We're debt free except for the mortgage and have no credit cards. I never expected that to lower my credit score, but it did. It's absurd, and is absolutely set up to keep people in the bondage of debt.

Watching the video of the Adam Toledo shooting, I think you'll see in that video what you're expecting to see. If you expect to see a cop using excessive force on an unarmed person with his hands up, that's what you'll see. By the time the shot was fired, Toledo's hands were up and he didn't have a gun in them.
Conversely, if you want to see a cop just trying to do his job, you see a cop chasing someone who had a gun and who then turns around and starts lifting his hands in a way that could have been pulling out a gun. The cop then reacted.
Sometimes the difference between a justified shooting and excessive force is razor thin. If the cop had waited a split second to pull the trigger, he'd have seen that Toldeo was raising his hands. However, if Toledo was turning and pulling out a gun, a split second could have cost the officer his life.
I think the prosecutor was right to not charge the officer here. I would have a hard time convicting based on the video.

Amid the disturbing rise in attacks on Asian Americans since March 2020 is a troubling category of these assaults: Black people are also attacking Asian Americans.
White people are the main perpetrators of anti-Asian racism. But in February 2021, a Black person pushed an elderly Asian man to the ground in San Francisco; the man later died from his injuries. In another video, from New York City on March 29, 2021, a Black person pushes and beats an Asian American woman on the sidewalk in front of a doorway while onlookers observe the attack, then close their door on the woman without intervening or providing aid.
As the current president of the Association for Asian American Studies and as an ethnic studies and critical race studies professor who specializes in Asian American culture, I wanted to address the climate of anti-Asian racism I was seeing at the start of the pandemic. So in April 2020, I created a PowerPoint slide deck about anti-Asian racism that my employer, the University of Colorado Boulder, turned into a website. That led to approximately 50 interviews, workshops, talks and panel presentations that I’ve done on anti-Asian racism, specifically in the time of COVID-19.
The point I’ve made through all of those experiences is that anti-Asian racism has the same source as anti-Black racism: white supremacy. So when a Black person attacks an Asian person, the encounter is fueled perhaps by racism, but very specifically by white supremacy. White supremacy does not require a white person to perpetuate it.

Yeah, I figured that out and I'm in the position where I can manipulate it if I need to at some point, but the only thing I could see us financing is another house.
It isn't that easy for people with lesser means. Bad credit begets bad rates begets missed payments, on and on.

Anytime there are multiple instances of the same claim scenario occurring they take hard notice. If one of them excludes it they’d all follow suit. Question is if one had the balls to do it. No question, some of these stores will get non renewed for claims they had no part in and it’s gonna hurt their pocket book pretty damn hard

It's a damned shame. I don't care if her father was truly the worst person around. No child deserves to be executed. What's going to suck is when they catch these scumbags, they probably targetted the wrong person or decided to end someone's life for a bad reason (like he ****ed one of their girls) and I hope they are thrown deep into jail and never see the free world again.
Without the trial, no one will talk about it. 7 year olds getting shot in the inner cities happens all the time.
