Americans in Their 30s Are Piling On Debt - WSJ

• Danielle Smith and her family thought they had finally escaped the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle they had fallen into. They saved money during the pandemic while they were stuck at home. They used stimulus checks to chip away at $20,000 in credit-card debt and enjoyed a reprieve from monthly payments on their $160,000 in student loans.
• Lately, they have been hit with one unexpected expense after another, from an out-of-pocket MRI to a broken water heater. They also took trips with their four children that they had put off because of Covid, including to Walt Disney World, local museums and the zoo. By 2022, their credit-card debt had doubled to nearly $40,000.
  
  ...American millennials in their 30s have racked up debt at a historic clip since the pandemic.
  Their total balances hit more than $3.8 trillion in the fourth quarter, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, a 27% jump from late 2019.
  “For millennials, it’s felt like being hit from every side,” said Charlotte Principato, a financial-services analyst at the research company Morning Consult who covers younger consumers.
  “They’re not feeling in control of their financial lives.”...

CLEMENS & GLOBERMAN: Turns Out Young Socialists Really Have No Idea What They’re Talking About

"It’s undeniable that in Western countries including the United States, young people are expressing a preference for profound economic and social change including socialism. 

But of course, young Americans have never lived in a world with widespread socialism and the misery it creates. 

In fact, their version of “socialism” has never existed and is unworkable.

• According to a 2017 poll, a majority of American millennials preferred to live in a “socialist, communist, or fascist nation than in a capitalist one.”...

MacIntyre: Media acceptance of lab-leak theory is the turning of the COVID ratchet - TheBlaze: 

The mainstream media is attempting to reconstitute its COVID narrative after multiple government agencies confirmed that a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan was the likely origin of the virus.

“Yesterday Patrick Wojahn, the mayor of College Park, Maryland, was arrested on 56 counts of child pornography. 

And you know how you can tell he’s a Democrat? 

Because his political affiliation isn’t in any of the headlines. 

Hell, it isn’t even in most of the ‘news’ stories.

The journos all want this to go away very quickly. 

They’ll report that it happened, but they don’t want to tell you how it reflects on their team. 

And it certainly doesn’t reflect well.”

Brace Yourself for Coming Electricity Shortages - IER

Brace Yourself for Coming Electricity Shortages - IER

Think the U.S. electric grid is immune to blackouts? Think again.

• The PJM interconnection just reported insufficient supply of new renewable technology to meet demand as the region which consists of 13 eastern states and the District of Columbia expects to retire 21 percent of its existing generating capacity through 2030. 
• That is, fossil-fuel power plants are retiring much faster than renewable sources are being developed, which could lead to energy “imbalances” –shortages and blackouts. 
• Further, renewable sources—largely wind and solar power—are unreliable as the sun must shine and the wind must blow, which means they are operating at only a fraction of their capacity...
• PJM typically generates a surplus of power because of its current large fossil-fuel generating fleet, which it exports to neighboring grids in the Midwest and Northeast that helped to keep lights on when wind power plunged in the Midwest and central states recently...

Firing offence?!!

• More than three-quarters of U.S. voters—including a majority of Democrats—want secret footage withheld by the government related to the events of January 6 released to the public.

That figure cuts across party lines: 78 percent of Democrats, 86 percent of Republicans, and 75 percent of independent voters concur with House Republicans’ arguments that the recordings should be made public...
