Inflation rate is 2.8% and the Democrats are complaining about “affordability”. The Democrats in Va ran on “affordability”. Their plan for fixing “affordability” is more gun control and higher utility rates for Green Energy.
It’s all an illusion.
As an Alabamian, it isn’t just being black that makes the South so poor, it is that the South has rural blacks. Other places black populations are predominately urban.
Florida is a very populated state with a lot of industry. While there are certainly rural places, none are far away from places to work.
Now imagine a Mississippi county with 50,000 people, 85 % black and no industry except farms, a few gas stations and convenience stores. Farming is now mechanized so no jobs there.
We had a plantation in Macon County, Alabama that had 12,000 slaves at the end of the Civil war. It has less than 20,000 people as of 2024. It is 80% black. Share cropping employed almost all of the freed slaves until WWII, when mechanized cotton harvesters started to appear. Share cropping was finished by the late 60s. Unless you moved away to where the jobs are, you are on government assistance doing nothing.
Not about inflation it is about the National Debt as the top line item is interest in that debt we must unload that debt very soon or Britex is going to kill us so only way is file Ch7 more or less... China hold trillions so let them eat cake.
Wouldn’t this be more a measure of credit worthiness? ....the amount of credit which institutions are willing to float in each area? People get credit card expansion applications rejected regularly. The criteria for approval vary according to payment history, income, and income potential.
If you don’t have a large credit limit then your revolving balance will be a larger percent of your limit.
Good point. Qualifying for a credit card is not easy if your income and credit score are low or nonexistent. For all we know, these borrowers could be middle-income earners who lost their jobs.
