Its stated aim — to help rural community banks thrive against growing Wall Street power — appears to have been enough to power it across the finish line. But banking industry analysts say the bill is already having the opposite effect, and its loosening of regulations on medium-sized banks is encouraging a rush of consolidation — all of which ends with an increasing number of community banks being swallowed up and closed down. “We absolutely expect bank consolidation to accelerate,” Wells Fargo’s Mike Mayo told CNBC the day after the Senate passed the deregulation bill in March. The reason? Banks no longer face the prospect of stricter and more costly regulatory scrutiny as they grow. And regional banks in Virginia, Ohio, Mississippi, and Wisconsin have already taken note before the bill has even passed into law, announcing buyouts of smaller rivals.--- ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdLAu30hmkU

Am I allowed like you guys am I allowed to say where I live? of course. You're yeah. I mean I would not get too specific. Yes. Just like to protect you. Just don't yeah don't say the address. I mean yes. but can I say the name of the apartment complex? Yes if you want to put them on blast for you know how they're treating you go for it you want to take that risk it's just you know. We go out with a lot of people. Yeah at Coronado Villas Apartments but the white people call it Villas. So Coronado c-o-r-o-n-a-d-o Villas v-i-l-l-a-s. Owned by Takola properties t-o-k-o-l-a. And I'm just sorry I'm like my heart is counting because they're threatening to evict me. I just I literally got an email right before you said that you got my call. And yeah they're threatening to evict me for talking with my neighbors about reported crime in this neighborhood. wow. So for context there was a couple of people creeping outside of my apartment complex a month ago. And it was very traumatizing. And it happened two nights in a row at 11 PM both times. So then I start going door to door telling people about this. And then it turns out that pretty much everyone in my apartment complex has a story about something happening to them. whether it be the people like shining flashlights or Windows or like car burglaries just yeah there's a lot of crime a lot of burglaries or attempted burglaries going on in this neighborhood. So I've been letting people know that. And let me read the email that they just sent to me. But hello Serena we had a couple separate residents come by over the weekend with complaints about somebody knocking on their doors. the details that I received are that a young woman is knocking on doors and presenting neighbors with a photo and a story about Apartment break-ins not being addressed. I have attached the photo being circulated through the community the person. That actually took this photo reported the incident to me over a month ago and is one of the complaining neighbors. He pointed out that he is not the one circulating this photo and he assumes that I got it from like the Nextdoor app. Which he actually sent to me via text. I've talked to this guy so I feel like they're just lying about that. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK8QiqqKzn0

People with college degrees sometimes lord it over those who do not. They act like they're expertise in a certain field means they're vastly more intelligent than anyone who doesn't have a similar degree from a compatible university. But that elitism ignores that most people have different intelligences and expertise. We stream our live show every day at 12 PM ET. We need your help to keep providing free videos!

Emma: Neutrino Chirality is best: As someone with a BS in physics I can attest all it grants you is some special math skills that are useful in a narrow context and a general framework for problem-solving. What it does for some unfortunately is granted them an ego like that asshat who feels like saying he has a degree in physics math although qualifies him as a genius of everything. This is why I cringe when people say you must be smart to anyone in this field. No, we are people with a knack for mathematics. you're not superior to anyone. I hate the way it gives the superiority complex to folks who often find a willing audience. Hashtag left is best. Matt: This is what I mean, that's what they really have values in education. Emma: We've been, yes we've been hammering this. I don't care if anyone's smart. I don't care if anyone is smart, the definition of smart. Dick Cheney was smart. [ __ ] it is a sociopath. It doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter to me. and Smartness is a very classist definition of ability in a capitalist system. You can be smart in a variety of different ways. You can be great technically. you can be great mechanically. You can be a great speaker. You can be a great athlete which has its own intelligence and like it's an art form in and of itself. I mean it's just ridiculous as Matt said degrees and smartness and the definition of it as it exists is a way for the ruling class to solidify their power and create gatekeeping. Where you could say oh I have this Harvard degree. I have a Ph.D. in this. Which is only accessible to certain people. So I mean I hate it. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdTuzUKXzz8
