This is the LARGEST oil supply disruption in history with no clear end in sight.
> Brent crude oil has surged to $115. A 25% jump in a single day. On a Sunday night.
> US stock futures have now erased over $2 trillion.
> And there are ZERO signs of this slowing down.
The last time the world saw an oil shock this severe was the 1970s. That crisis caused gas rationing and double-digit inflation.

My credit score dropped when I paid off my car.
My credit score dropped when I paid off my student loans.
Credit agencies told me: "You should get more loans to increase your credit score."
The system punishes you for not owing any money.
They want you in debt forever.
Credit scoring is one of the biggest scams.

OpenAI’s planned cash burn is insane...
Tesla burned $9.3B before turning profitable.
Netflix burned $11.1B before turning profitable.
Uber burned $11.2B before turning profitable.
OpenAI plans to burn $218B.
I’m sure everything is fine.

Just a generation ago in the United States, our parents could afford homes, cars, college, 2-3 children, annual vacations, and then retire on a middle-class salary. What happened?

Not to be overdramatic but if the price of houses had risen at the same rate as median income since 1970 then a house in 2025 would cost an average of $138,000.

Never let a job steal your life.
The company you work for is not your family, you don't owe a job anything beyond the work you're being paid for.
Prioritize your well-being over misplaced loyalty, and never feel guilty about leaving a job.
Companies aren't families, they're businesses. It's a business relationship and their goal is to make money.
If they can make more money by laying you off, they will.
If you have an opportunity to better yourself, never feel guilty about taking it.
