A record number of American renters are spending at least one-third of their income on rents, according to 2023 The State of the Nation's Housing published by Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies.

I woke up this morning thinking about the voice behind the golden EIB microphone, Rush Limbaugh. The voice that went out everyday in America. He was like a friend that you could sit down with for a cup of coffee.His humor and intelligent views were affirming and filled you with hope. The voice is gone. What a loss.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's finances are becoming increasingly precarious, Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki warned on Monday, just as markets test whether the central bank can keep interest rates ultra-low, allowing the government to service its debt. The government has been helped by near-zero bond yields, but bond investors have recently sought to break the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) 0.5% cap on the 10-year bond yield, as inflation runs at 41-year highs, double the central bank's 2% target. "Japan's public finances have increased in severity to an unprecedented degree as we have compiled supplementary budgets to respond to the coronavirus and...

A sappy article indicating support by the MSM of the Simps at Buzzfeed taking buyouts as Buzzfeed still searches for a mission.

US President Donald Trump has been heavily criticised for halting funding for the World Health Organization (WHO) amid the global coronavirus pandemic. Trump's move to defund WHO goes against the pandemic preparedness plan his administration drafted in 2017, which advocates for “expanded international coordination on pandemic preparedness and response" and specifically calls for "continued support” for WHO. The move drew swift blowback from the medical community, which said it would undercut global efforts to combat a disease that’s sickened nearly 2 million people worldwide and still has no proven cure or vaccine. Philanthropist Bill Gates, a major funder of the...
