Some rare good news!

To be fair, the drive to make home ownership attainable for anyone who wants to own a home, by leaning on banks to ease lending standards, was Clinton’s baby. That’s where it began. Then Wall Street (Lou Raneiri (sp?)) figured out a way to monetize it, which reduced the risk to the banks holding the loan notes and Billions started flowing to feed the creation of more shaky loans. The rest is history, unfortunately.

Be it arrogance or ignorance, our elected representatives sometimes do a terrible job of dealing with reality.

The whole issue - trying to give credit to the non-creditworthy rather than teaching the non-creditworthy to actually BECOME creditworthy is vaguely reminiscent of the attempt by the state legislature of Indiana to change the value of pi by legislative fiat:

More good news!
CNN is pulling out of airports! https://nypost.com/2021/01/12/jeff-z...ites-covid-19/
Not so much about watching CNN per se, it's just the non-stop, can't find a quiet moment, endless droning on and on and on about the same 3 stories of the non-stop news cycle. TV is a dinosaur for news anyway.
Airports are hectic and stressful enough. Here's to hoping all those airports put in something a little more Zen, for everyone.
(I like nature scenes. I suspect it's going to be more like non-stop pharmaceutical adds)
