Consumer debt stands at $17.29 trillion and many Americans are drowning in debt, with the average household owning over $100 thousand. The climate crisis, threats to democracy, and global wars add more worry to our already stressful lives. In her new book out from House of Anansi Press, “The Age of Insecurity: Coming Together as Things Fall Apart”, writer, filmmaker, organizer, and the 2023 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Massey Lecturer, Astra Taylor uses mythology. psychology and the history of capitalism to break down the different kinds of insecurities we face, and explore how our insecurities help capitalism flourish. Without it, the system would cease to function, she says. In her years of work as Co-Founder of the Debt Collective, which emerged from Occupy Wall Street, Taylor has used debt as a tool for bringing people together and organizing. She is the author of The Age of Insecurity: Coming Together as Things Fall Apart, Democracy May Not Exist But We'll Miss It When It is Gone, and The People's Platform (winner of the American Book Award), and the director of What Is Democracy?, among other books and films. In this wide-ranging discussion, Astra Taylor and Laura Flanders discuss the history of capitalism, the rights of debtors, and what we can do to lessen insecurity and expand security both as individuals and as a society. All that, plus a commentary from Laura about language and disruption..“There is a debate here about motivation and what motivates us, and we are constantly being told that if people are too secure, that society's going to collapse and that we can't afford to invest in other folks. And I really want to challenge that idea.” - Astra Taylor“. . . When you start talking about [debt] with others, you realize you're actually in the same boat and you start coming together to demand change, to demand debt cancellation, to demand the provision of these public goods. Debt actually can become a source of power.” - Astra TaylorGuest:  Astra Taylor, Co-Founder of the Debt Collective & Author, The Age of Insecurity*(*Bookshop is an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores.

When a $5,000 advance requires a $40,000 payback, something's broken in legal funding.

Dominate your market today. Grab a copy of Chris' latest book, Personal Injury Lawyer Marketing: From Good to GOAT.  In this episode of Personal Injury Mastermind, former attorney and CEO of ClaimAngel, Jeremy Alters reveals how a transparent marketplace is forcing traditional funders to compete on rates and speed.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She talks to independent journalist Antony Loewenstein to discuss his recent book The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World. Then, she is joined by Ramenda Cyrus, John Lewis Writing Fellow at The American Prospect, to discuss her recent piece entitled "Predatory Lending's Prey of Color." First, Emma runs through updates on the Freedom Caucus' debt ceiling tantrum, Comer walking back his contempt vote, the Supreme Court turning out a surprising Voting Rights Act decision, Fox's lawsuit against Tucker, growing jobless claims, the passing of Pat Robertson, Louisiana's gender-affirming care ban, and foreshadowing of a coup in Colombia, also diving into Steve Malloy's appearance with Laura Ingraham to reassure us that the health effects of smoke are actually just a liberal conspiracy. Antony Loewenstein then dives right into his reporting on Israel's export of their apartheid technologies, beginning with his work in Afghanistan, South Sudan, and Honduras, and his realization that in these very geographically-specific conflicts, there were always traces of the tactics and technologies employed by Israel in their occupation of Palestine.  Next, he and Emma step back to assess Israeli apartheid as the longest-running occupation in modern history, with the Israeli economy – largely in tech and defense – raking in the big bucks from the relationship, with financial ties to the West from the beginning of the Nakba strengthening their economic and political support over the last 75 years. Antony then assesses Israel's role as the 10th biggest arms dealer in the world, despite their relatively small size, with the occupation of Palestine acting as one of the most active military and intelligence testing grounds in the world, before he walks Emma through the long history of this industry and export in Israel, including their role in supporting genocide across the Global south during the 1970s and ‘80s, and how they have kept those ties strong over the last decade. Next, Ramenda Cyrus walks through the story of Ms. Lilly to demonstrate the prominent and growing issue of predatory lending in the US, parsing through the tactics these predators use, and the infrastructural gaps they exploit. Wrapping up, Cyrus and Emma explore the particular role of Bank-deserts in inflaming this issue, why this exploitation primarily affects low-income people of color, and how this all relates to the defanging of Dodd-Frank. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they assess the Supreme Court's surprising decision on an Alabama voting rights case, Tom from Raleigh discusses the validity of abstinence, and Chris Christie launches his campaign with an attack on the Trump family swamp. DeSantis catches backlash for a low blow against Trump (literally just using AI), Dan from Boise explores the idea of abortion “tourism” and the backlash to it, and the MR Crew covers LIV Golf's merger with PGA. Tommy from somewhere gives some music recs, David Sacks spreads his billions between the DeSantis and RFK bandwagons, and Kristi Noem starts her campaign for Trump's VP, plus, your calls and IMs!

Since its enactment in March 2020, emergency spending expanded healthcare coverage to some 15 million people who will now be disenrolled, and increased food stamp benefits, and post-partum coverage in many states. Poor parents will be taking a hit — but Guaranteed Income could be the solution. The Magnolia Mothers Trust in Jackson, Mississippi is the first in the country to provide Guaranteed Income of $1000 monthly to low-income families headed by a Black woman living in affordable housing. Joining Laura for this Mother's Day special are Aisha Nyandoro who leads this program as the CEO of Springboard Opportunities, a nonprofit organization working with residents in affordable housing to help them reach their goals; Anquoindria Moore, a mother of three was a recipient of this cash relief from Magnolia Mothers and Dorian Warren, the Co-President of Community Change, that  focuses on building the power of people most impacted by injustice. How does cash relief reduce poverty, and increase equity and security for families? All that, and a commentary from Laura on renewing, and renaming, the tax credit program.“Clearly it is not only about the cash. I had the opportunity to meet some very wonderful people. I was also able to socialize with different women who were also in the same shoes as me or similar . . . The women there are not getting involved and then leaving you stranded.” - Anquoindria Moore“When people have a little more breathing room, when they don't have to count every penny to pay bills . . . they actually have more time to get involved in our democracy and their communities and school board elections and town hall meetings . . . That is important for the promise of multiracial democracy in this country.” - Aisha Nyandoro“We know that if we trust women in particular and give them agency, they will always do the right thing for their kids . . . What we're up against is basically ideologues and zombie ideas who are ignoring the evidence and the stories about the participants in these kinds of programs.” - Dorian WarrenGuests:Anquoindria Moore: Recipient, Magnolia Mothers TrustDr. Aisha Nyandoro: CEO, Springboard To OpportunitiesDorian Warren: Co-President, Community Change Full Show Notes are located HERE.  They include related episodes, articles, and more to dive deeper.Music In the Middle:   “Don't Know What Tomorrow Brings” by Secret Night Gang from their forth coming album “Belongs on a Place Called Earth," courtesy of Brownswood Recordings.

If you think of predatory lending as any borrowing scenario that has a high probability of causing issues for the borrower, I think that there is a good chance we should chat about the "California Dream For All" loan program from CalHFA (California Housing Finance Agency).   Schemes like this are predicated on the idea that the price of real estate will continue to rise. As we all know, that is not always true. During the last downturn, nothing was more saddening than trying to help people who had tried to take advantage of these programs and been left completely upside down and being forced into bankruptcy and short sales. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————  ➡️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebelbroker/ ➡️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/rebelbroker ➡️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whitelawre/

Welcome to Investories Deep Dive Season 1: Creative Financing  We're breaking down the strategies to empower your Real Estate investing journey.  Season 1 is all about creative financing. The who, the what, and importantly the how.  Creative financing isn't just seller financing, and we're going to dive into it all, from subto, to hard money.  This week we sit down with Austin Lagusa of https://www.simplerealestate.org to talk finding your mission - and taking a negative experience, being rejected for a loan from a traditional bank, to helping families buy their own home through creative financing. And how you can do the same... Introducing Austin My real estate journey started in 2019 when I was told I couldn't buy a house for my family. I had no idea that my investment journey would begin with a denied mortgage application. Since 2019, I've been able to purchase 12 out of state rentals with less than $15k of my own money. My Mission Austin on an adventure to help 1,000 home renters become homeowners over the next 25 years. It's his passion, to teach financial literacy, investing strategies, and defeating limiting beliefs. Austin is committed to helping you challenge your self limiting beliefs, helping to uncover all the potential that's inside of you. What is Seller Financing? Seller financing, also known as owner financing, is when a seller provides financing for a buyer to purchase a property or business. This can be done through a mortgage, promissory note, or other type of loan agreement. There are several benefits and myths associated with seller financing. Benefits of seller financing include: Allowing buyers who may not qualify for traditional financing to purchase a property or business Helping sellers to sell a property or business that has been on the market for a long time Providing a way for sellers to earn interest on the sale of their property or business Allowing sellers to negotiate the terms of the loan, such as the interest rate and repayment schedule However, there are also several myths associated with seller financing, such as: Myth: Seller financing is only for buyers with bad credit. Reality: While seller financing may be a good option for buyers with bad credit, it can also be beneficial for buyers with good credit who want more flexibility in the terms of their loan. Myth: Seller financing is always risky for the seller. Reality: While there is always some risk involved in any type of lending, seller financing can be structured in a way that minimizes risk for the seller. For example, using a promissory note with a due-on-sale clause can protect the seller if the buyer defaults on the loan. Myth: Seller financing is only for residential properties. Reality: Seller financing can be used for both residential and commercial properties, as well as for businesses. Overall, seller financing can be a viable option for both buyers and sellers, but it is important to understand the benefits and myths associated with this type of financing. It is always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or attorney before entering into a seller financing agreement to ensure that it is a good fit for your individual situation.

The Chinese debt trap narrative was started based on the purported surrender of the Port of Hambantota in Sri Lanka. When Colombo fell behind in its payments to the China Exim Bank for the loan, the story goes, Beijing seized the port as collateral.Now, six years later, a pair of Sri Lankan researchers, Umesh Moramudali and Thilina Panduwawala gained access to the original China Exim Bank loan documents for the port and confirmed that the Chinese predatory lending narrative, as it's been told, just isn't true.The pair join Eric & Cobus to discuss their new report that debunks many of the myths surrounding Chinese lending to Sri Lanka, specifically related to the controversial port.SHOW NOTES:The China-Africa Research Initiative: Evolution of Chinese Lending to Sri Lanka Since the mid-2000s: Separating Myth from Reality by Umesh Moramudali and Thilina Panduwawala: https://bit.ly/3PF1cHrThe Diplomat: Demystifying China's role in Sri Lanka's debt restructuring by Umesh Moramudali and Thilina Panduwawala: https://bit.ly/3v4r3iHJOIN THE DISCUSSION:Twitter: @ChinaGSProject| @stadenesque | @eric_olander | @UmeshMoramudali | @ThilinaKalharaFacebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProjectFOLLOW CAP IN FRENCH AND ARABIC:Français: www.projetafriquechine.com | @AfrikChineعربي: www.akhbaralsin-africia.com | @AkhbarAlSinAfrJOIN US ON PATREON!Become a CAP Patreon member and get all sorts of cool stuff, including our Week in Review report, an invitation to join monthly Zoom calls with Eric & Cobus, and even an awesome new CAP Podcast mug!www.patreon.com/chinaafricaproject

The Criminal Code of Canada says that it's a criminal offence to charge an interest rate of more than 60%. The federal government is considering lowering that rate. Is this a good idea? What could go wrong? On today's podcast, Ted Michalos returns to discuss whether this plan by the Government of Canada will make any meaningful difference, and what the unintended consequences of the proposal may be. Doug and Ted also share their four recommendations to the Government to better protect consumers when it comes to usury laws.

Biden administration will cancel student debt for half a million students from Corinthian Colleges. Do you think that SHTF 2022 will kick off as student loan debt is forgiven and the working class that did not get student debt gets angry?

Guest: Christine Dobby, Business Reporter You don't have to look far to see those who experienced terrible financial hardship over the past two years. We don't talk about our finances. But a recent report has painted a harsh picture just the same. The report published by ACORN, a non-profit organization advocating for moderate to low-income Canadians has revealed that more and more people were forced to take out instalment or payday loans during the pandemic–and many are trapped in a vicious cycle, paying off interest rates of up to 60 percent. Star Business Reporter Christine Dobby explains how high-cost lenders operate and whether the government should have done something to help prevent Canadians from falling through the cracks and into a crushing cycle of debt. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Brian Bradley and Matthew Hearn.

You wouldn't think a founder whose regular coffee order is a quad cappuccino would be a man of few words, but Dennis Cail is the exception. He chooses his words with intention, and in this conversation with Izzy, the result is an inspiring glimpse into his background and his company, Zirtue. With a professional path that included prior roles in the U.S. Navy and IBM, Dennis is building a business that formalizes the process of lending between friends and family and eliminates the negative impact of the predatory lending industry. In this episode, Dennis offers up the personal experiences that have shaped the company, his thoughts on generational wealth, and the impact he hopes to have through Zirtue's double bottom line.

Joyce James is the founder of the Middleburg Institute in Saint Gabriel, Louisiana. The Institute's mission is to raise the economic, educational and social level of families in low to moderate income communities. We met Joyce while researching predatory lenders. These lenders charge sky-high interest rates on short-term loans and they're a financial blight on too many people living on low and unstable incomes. Joyce routinely meets with people struggling to make ends meet in small communities around Louisiana. A major topic of these conversations is how people can turn their side hustle into a viable business. Practical money talk are invaluable when it comes to helping people steer clear of financial trouble. But individual knowledge isn't enough. Policymakers need to reform the payday lending business and the financial services industry to clean house.

This week we are talking about loan options that are typically offered to people who have low income or a low credit score. Most of us are aware that the higher the credit score and income, the more options you have to pay cash or borrow money for what you need and want.    I'm not a fan of financing everything, but if you need to finance something I'm all for finding the best financing deal for you.    The lower the income and credit score, the more money one has to pay in interest and fees. The good news is there is always a way to increase your income and credit score to qualify for the financing deal you desire.    Check out Episode 30: "Don't Settle For Predatory Lending" because you deserve fair and reasonable loan terms, regardless of the financial mistakes or unfortunate unexpected financial circumstances you've experienced in the past.    Order a free copies of your credit reports at Annual Credit Report.com   Order a copy of your banking history at ChexSystems   The Financially Free with Cleo Podcast is on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts and PodBean: cleoyogafinance.com/podcast   It's also on YouTube at Cleo Yoga Finance.

Jeff Pickering and Brooke Kramer are joined by the Rev. Dr. Gabriel Salguero to discuss why Christians should care about ending the payday debt trap and how the Faith for Just Lending (FJL) coalition is advocating against payday lending. Salguero is the pastor at The Gathering Place, a Latino-led multi-ethnic Assemblies of God congregation in Orlando and also the president and founder of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition (NALEC).“Payday lending is a form of economic predation and grinds the faces of the poor into the ground. As Christians, we are called by Jesus, by the prophets and by the apostles to care for the poor, individually, and also about the way social and political and corporate structures contribute to the misery of the impoverished. Groups across this diverse coalition don't agree on every issue in the public square, but I am happy to work together on this issue to stand against unchecked usury and work for economic justice, human dignity and family stability.” — Russell MooreGuest BiographyThe Rev.
