FICO and credit bureaus maintain a monopoly making local bankers pay for credit scores. Eventually borrowers will pay. These are junk fees the consumer doesn’t see now but will. Gov is noticing and starting to push back. It’s a longer read, but there is a link to let the gov hear your opinion.

Searching for a notepad this Amazonclinic ad popped up. Perhaps because of decades of email use, I’m used to seeing ads for ED in my junk mail folder. Not so much on Amazon, especially after tapping on an iso dot pad. Is there some medical/scientific link between the two that I’m not aware of??

This title doesn’t begin to do this article justice. SCOTUS has completely abandoned any singular standard for interpreting law. Literally contradicting their own previous decisions made by the exact same justices. This sounds like an opinion piece, but the facts are irrefutable (except by SCOTUS).

White supremacist violence is so rarely taken seriously as domestic terrorism. The Klan was burning Black communities & they're a protected charitable organization by the government. The mass shooters with racist screeds were lone wolves.

What’s harder to believe? That universal healthcare is so radical and complicated that we’re the only country in the world without it. Or… The millions of dollars in insurance and pharma campaign donations each year to members of Congress are actually just bribes to block it.

A fascist took over Twitter and is turning it into a tool for fascist propaganda — and elected Democrats are acting as if nothing has changed. Musk is a MAGA Republican and X is a MAGA network. If you wouldn’t appear on Fox or Truth Social, you shouldn’t appear on X. Its come to that point.
