Today's high interest rates and the resulting low growth presents opportunities. Take financial technology company Upstart Holdings for example. Between 2020 and 2021, Upstart's revenue rocketed by 264% to $849 million as consumer demand for credit soared with interest rates at rock bottom. But this year, analysts expect revenue to suffer a 2% decline to $830 million -- though that's not necessarily a bad result given the current economy.



Despite Upstart's financial results taking a breather, it's still making operational progress. For example, in the third quarter (ended Sept. 30), it reported that a record-high 83 bank and credit union partners, plus 702 car dealerships, were signed on to use its AI-driven loan origination platforms. Those figures were up a whopping 167% for banks and credit unions and 141% for auto dealerships year over year, which signals robust demand for the technology.



It's share price has declined about eighty percent in 2022. When the Fed does start lowering interest rates to spur growth that high interest rates halted, it's stock price will go right back up.



Obviously this was meant to be posted in the Money Sense thread.

A federal appeals court has permanently blocked the Biden administration's bid to force doctors and insurers to perform or pay for gender-transition procedures even if they object on grounds of conscience and medical judgment, with the court basing its decision on constitutional protections of religious freedom.



The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit issued a unanimous ruling (pdf) on Dec. 9 blocking the controversial U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) transgender mandate.



Issued in 2016, the mandate interpreted the Affordable Care Act in a way that required doctors to perform gender-transition procedures on any patient, including children, even if the doctor was convinced the procedure could harm the patient.

Well he almost got himself arrested stalking Burt offline.

It would be a toy one because he has never driven or even sat in a real limo.

It makes sense that Joe follows that woman-hating YouTube channel.

It makes perfect sense.

Middle schoolers are thirteen to fifteen. What is an adult doing swinging at a kid.

Millions of Americans could face a "refund shock" when they file their taxes next year because a number of pandemic-related programs are set to expire or have expired, said an analyst.



Data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) shows that the average refund taxpayers got back for their 2021 taxes was about $3,200, or some around 14 percent higher than the previous year. The next refunds will average about $2,700, said Mark Steber, chief tax information officer at Jackson Hewitt.



The 2021 tax year "was quite a remarkable year with the insertion of all those new tax breaks," Steber told CBS News this week. "But jump ahead to this year, and a lot of the increases expired, hence the term 'refund shock' or 'refund surprise.'"



Due to the expiration of some programs, "You're probably going to have not as pleasant an experience as you had last year," he noted. "There were larger, enhanced tax credits available last year that aren't available this year," Steber also remarked.



For example, the child tax credit is one benefit that will shrink when parents file their 2022 taxes. Normally, parents get about $2,000 for each of their children, but in 2021, the benefit increased to $3,600 for every child under 6 and $3,000 for minor children aged 6 and older.



Also, the Child and Dependent Care Credit that parents can use to pay for child care was boosted under the Biden administration-backed American Rescue Plan. That raised the credit up to $8,000 per family in 2021, or more than in previous years.



The IRS has already issued notices about potentially smaller tax refunds, noting in November that "taxpayers will not receive an additional stimulus payment with a 2023 tax refund because there were no economic impact payments for 2022."



Additionally, the agency said, it will be more difficult to claim a deduction for charitable on a 2022 tax return.



"The IRS cautions taxpayers not to rely on receiving a 2022 federal tax refund by a certain date, especially when making major purchases or paying bills," the agency said last month. "Some returns may require additional review and may take longer."

It is not an extension of the Dem propaganda machine anymore and that is why they now hate Twitter as much as Trump.

San Francisco has a free money program for all pregnant black women and only black women.  Our racist far left Democrap governor wants to expand it to the rest of the state.  Democraps are always racist.  Always.

I only saw the first episode and only because they actually aired it on regular HBO before moving the series entirely to the app (forget what it's called... HBOMax maybe?). I had captured it in the DVR and they even "deleted" that when they tried to *make* people start using the app to watch Peacemaker and its other content.



It looked like a really good show but I only watch television when I'm watching a television... I'm not installing a damn app anywhere else.



I'll think about picking up the DVD series collection but the whole teaser thing has kind of soured me on supporting it at all.



I don't begrudge other people using those kinds of apps or streaming services; it's just not how I roll.

I don't watch enough shows to bother with the apps.

The market's expectation is that the Federal Reserve will keep lifting its policy interest rate until it brings it to 5%, before pausing for some time. But it's possible that the Fed could decide that 5% is not nearly enough. That would be the case if the U.S. economy continues growing at a solid clip and inflation doesn't substantially cool off. That would be devastating for economic growth and of course the markets. Fingers crossed, that will not happen.
