Ironically, I find the popularity of hardware hacks to be a sign of general stagnation, because there were periods of time in the past when they would not give as much boost in performance as a new version of something in a few months to a

Heard a human-interest story on local radio praising the pandemic child tax credit. Most said they paid their mortgage, bought food, etc., but one said they spent it on stocks and cryptocurrency. Yeah that's not going to end well.

Risk is the only issue. Regulations are to ensure banks have the risk-bearing capacity that they say they do. A formalization of risk-bearing capacity, if you will. However, are banks the only ones with risk-bearing capacity? And if not, an
