America has never had a larger population. More people, more credit cards, more credit card debt. Seeing a per capita breakdown, or defaults per 1000 people might be better indicator of economic turmoil.
and there are people like me who buy everything with a credit card but pay off the entire balance each month
even though I technically have a credit card balance it gets reset every month and I never pay interest or late fees so the numbers don’t tell the whole story
but I’m sure there are an alarmingly large number of people who actually are buried in debt, especially with rent and other costs rising so it won’t be pretty when things reach a tipping point (probably already have…)
Seriously. I get free first class international tickets and a few hotel room nights paid every year with points and miles I get from credit cards, every year. And I use my credit cards for business expenses and get even more as a result.
Why would I ever use a debit card? I like full reclining on the flight back from Europe.
I would like to see some more meaningful metrics than offered in this headline.
Or maybe interest paid. I sometimes have a higher balance for the month, but I always pay it off entirely. Nonetheless, my credit score fluctuates based on the balance at the time of reporting.
I've noticed that too. It should not count as a balance if you pay in full every month. I assume this is counted towards this trillion dollar amount too which it should not.
They look scary. You can easily find pics online (amanita phalloides). They supposedly don’t taste all that great. I would not try this myself, but it is supposedly safe to taste a teeny little bit, then spit it out and rinse your mouth out, and some mycologists have done that. For science, you know. Let me go a bit further and say don’t try it yourself.
It’s not surprising his password had been yourefired. Its surprising he used the correct “you’re”. Although i guess technically it would have been more secure to include the special character. Haha
“Hey, we’re raising our overdraft fees, but we’re afraid we will lose too much business. Any chance you feel like raising your overdraft fees by the same amount on the same day?”
If you remember when computer RAM was incredibly expensive - that turned out to be coordinated price fixing by the biggest companies that make computer RAM.
If you bought a gaming PC between about 2000 and 2010, you’re about an inflation adjusted $400.00 poorer (per computer) due to their illegal price fixing.
Shocking that migrants that have no money and has federal and state agencies actively searching for them aren’t the ones carrying pounds and pounds of drugs on them.
Fucking seriously… This kid has future murderer written all over him… I get that your brain isn’t fully developed yet, but I don’t think kids like him go from “literally a psychopath” to “normal adult”
A normal kid might do something crazy in a fit of rage or emotion, but then regret what they did when they see the fallout from it. This little psycho boasted about it…
but I don’t think kids like him go from “literally a psychopath” to “normal adult”
Not with that attitude they don’t. Do you really think a 6 year old is beyond help?
They need to be removed from the parents, given proper psychiatric help and support, and placed with a loving family that can help them manage whatever issues they have.
I have a feeling that won’t happen though and part of the reason for this is because people believe that small children cannot be helped.
I absolutely agree, I didn’t really say he can’t be helped, I was responding to a comment about him belonging in a home where they would help him. It was more about the fact that he will absolutely get worse if left to his parents.
Definitely betting one life vs. maybe betting several. It’s a version of the trolley problem. There isn’t a right answer, unfortunately - though I personally would move the kid to professional full time psychiatric care in a “hope for the best, plan for the worst” sort of thing. Especially since I don’t think kids are inherently more valuable than adults.
There are 6 year olds that are psychopaths and this is likely one of them.
The worst part is treatment is not a guarantee they can be integrated into society.
It’s tragic for everyone involved but it is true, some people are just missing certain wiring, and being placed in a “loving home” can just mean more bodies and a confused 6 year old not understanding why it’s bad that they killed their parents because they got sent to timeout.
Absolutely. I don’t feel like commenting this whole comment section because this is a hard subject, but “psychopathy” is not a learned trait, and childs can absolutely do some very dark things. I think most people just can’t believe that a human, let alone such a young one, could be so fucking detached and “appear” evil, but yeah, there are humans out there that are like lizards, they just don’t adverse it.
This is wrong, most likely they were a normal baby who got fucked up by his fucked up parents. Is it possible they were a born psychopath? Of course it’s possible, but statistically speaking they were born fine. All we know is a kid with exceptionally shitty parents did something exceptionally shitty. No reason to speculate they were born evil or whatever.
Are kids autistic because of shitty parents? This isn’t about the kid being evil, this is about the high chance, given the kids history, that the child does not have a typical neurological makeup.
A lot of focus is being justifiably placed on the mom, but the kid’s actions very closely mirror allegations against his father, Malik Ellison.
The [father’s girlfriend] said she backed away to create space, but Ellison followed her, pushed her onto the bed, put his hand around her neck, and threatened to kill her, according to court records.
That attack wasn’t the only time the woman claimed Ellison was violent toward her, court records show. The woman called Newport News police again on Sept. 21, 2021 and told investigators that Ellison held a gun to her head and threatened to kill her, according to court records.
Tbf most Westernized nations have utterly starved any mental health care initiatives of needed funding, to the point that shitty things like this happen.
