An Easy Explanation Of What Happens When The Federal Reserve Bank Raises Interest Rates
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The job market and the economy will be in bad shape for a while. With all the chatter about inflation and a recession, it's hard to understand what is happening. Let’s break it down. A combination of pent-up demand from the pandemic, supply chain disruptions , trillions of dollars flooded into the market from the Federal Reserve Bank, and massive fiscal stimulus packages from both the Trump and Biden administrations helped stoke inflation . Runaway inflation is ruinous to a country. The costs spiral out of control. The poor are disproportionately impacted, as they generally don't have emergency funds or the ability to earn more than the rising inflation rate to keep their heads above water. To decrease the adverse impact of inflation, Jerome Powell, the head of the Federal Reserve Bank, announced that he would raise interest rates to battle inflation and cool down the economy. If you have been looking to … [Read more...] about An Easy Explanation Of What Happens When The Federal Reserve Bank Raises Interest Rates
Social Security Just Emailed Us About Their Website Upgrade? Here’s What They Didn’t Say
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Social Security just upgraded its website in several very valuable ways. But the site still suggests you can accurately calculate your benefits using Social Security's calculators. Not true. For several clear reasons, those calculators aren't good enough even for government work. Larry Kotlikoff is a Professor of Economics at Boston University and the founder and president of Economic Security Planning, Inc. Like most of us, I just received an email from the Social Security Administration (SSA) entitled "What's New With My Social Security." It announces improvements in ssa.gov , including the ability to update our phone number, address, and bank account online. That's terrific and long overdue. But the best improvement is providing current beneficiaries access to their full covered earning histories. Beneficiaries need this information to understand if additional earnings will raise their monthly and, thus, lifetime … [Read more...] about Social Security Just Emailed Us About Their Website Upgrade?

Tough act to follow: Celebs ’fond memories of Cherie Gil
Cherie Gil True to Cherie Gil’s iconic line, “You’re nothing but a second-rate, trying hard copycat,” she’s a tough act to follow. The primera contrabida left a void in the biz that nobody else can fill. Bravo, Cherie, for a life well-lived and for being so well-loved. As my little tribute to Cherie, I asked some of her peers to share their fondest memory of the incredible Eigenmann woman. Vilma Santos Vilma Santos: I will always remember Cherie as a true friend, a very sincere person, a real artist, kalog at napakasayang kasama. Nabawasan tayo ng icon. Ricky Davao Ricky Davao: When I was 16, I would always go to the house of Tita Rosemarie Gil to spend the whole day with Michael and Mark.

She always shone bright, and I feel blessed to have this and so many other memories with her and her … [Read more...] about Tough act to follow: Celebs ’fond memories of Cherie Gil
Jamie Foxx rises again as dad, the vampire hunter, in Netflix’s dreary ‘Day Shift’
(CNN) "Day Shift" is about vampires, but it's one of those Frankenstein-like movies stitched together from used parts, with Jamie Foxx as a family man version of Marvel's Blade , mashed up with horror and buddy comedy. It's the kind of star-driven vehicle that yields obvious benefits to Netflix even if, qualitatively speaking, it doesn't deserve to see the light of day. Indeed, Foxx is clearly a favorite of the Netflix algorithm and likes cashing its checks, having starred in the movie "Project Power" and sitcom "Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!" in the last two years, the latter inspired and produced by his daughter, Corinne Foxx. Parenthood is again at the heart of the plot, such as it is, in "Day Shift," which could just as easily be titled "Dad: Vampire Slayer." Foxx plays Bud Jablonski, a bounty hunter (he masquerades as a pool cleaner) struggling to make ends meet financially, suddenly given a major motivation to earn cash: His ex (Meagan Good) is planning to move away from … [Read more...] about Jamie Foxx rises again as dad, the vampire hunter, in Netflix’s dreary ‘Day Shift’
‘Arcade Paradise’ Review: An Essential Ode To Classic Coin-Ops
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin On the face of it, Arcade Paradise seems to promise too much: an indie management sim boasting a story-driven and evolving environment, 35 pseudo-original games, and a price tag of just $25. Surely some mistake? After 25 hours of playtime–and despite only clearing the main “campaign”, without really digging deep into its plethora of challenges and unlockables– Arcade Paradise is an absolute gem of a game. Despite its slack handful of bugs, glitches, gripes, and box-ticking exercises, Nosebleed Interactive’s spiritual successor to debut Vostok Inc might be the best value for money you’ll get from a game in 2022. At its heart, Arcade Paradise is a profit simulator in a similar vein to House Flipper : an adventure that is, for the most part, as banal as it is exciting. You assume the role of Ashley, tasked with making a laundrette profitable. It happens to have a trio of old arcade machines in a glorified closet. … [Read more...] about ‘Arcade Paradise’ Review: An Essential Ode To Classic Coin-Ops
