#KnowledgeByte: The #Biodiversity #Credit market is a nascent but rapidly evolving financial mechanism aimed at incentivizing the protection and restoration of nature.

It operates on the principle of generating and trading "biodiversity credits," which represent quantifiable and verifiable improvements in biodiversity.

It wasn't that long ago that women didn't have these rights.

It was 1974 when women were first legally allowed to get a credit card in their own name. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act was passed in 1974 and it allowed women to get credit, buy a car, and buy a house without a male co-signer.

Hey MAGA Women,
Liberalism is the reason:

You can vote
You can work
You can file for divorce
You can buy a credit card
You can buy a home or a car
You can get a driver’s license
You are not considered property
You can be pregnant and not get fired
Your husband can go to jail for beating you

I see my fellow oldies telling young people who are struggling with affording housing that they NEED ROOMMATES. And yeah, I had to split rent with someone for most of my adult life even though I always had two jobs, so I get it.

But we also tell young people to NEVER EVER COSIGN A LOAN for anyone. Ever. Solid advice.

But don’t we understand that signing a $24,000 a year lease with someone IS COSIGNING? Even worse because they are risking their housing & future housing. And if there’s property damage they could get sued for more than just the rent to the end of the lease term.

Residential leases are usually “joint and severable” meaning you both or either one is legally responsible. Landlord doesn’t have to care who actually paid & who didn’t, or who did the damage. They can collect from you if they think you have better resources.

We need to do better than the old “I had to suffer with roommates so you should too!” especially when young people think stuff like the “Klarna Hack” is smart and normal. We can’t encourage kids to sign leases for tens of thousands of dollars with strangers who might be so unhinged that sharing space isn’t even physically safe.

I know y’all don’t need this lecture, but we need to stop knee jerk saying stuff to young people that directly contradicts previous life advice. We can’t encourage kids to ruin their financial lives then call them dumb when they listen to us and get screwed over.

Also can we stop telling them that the tax bill from discharged debt is worse than the debt itself? That doesn’t even make sense, especially when I sort of believe that a 1099 for discharged debt is an urban legend. Even if it happens I would have gladly paid income tax on my forgiven student loans instead of having to pay off the student loans. Bankruptcy doesn’t ruin your life either. It’s a constitutional right to a fresh start.

Sorry about my rant. I just don’t understand why people don’t see that “get a roommate” is financially the same thing as cosigning.

It took less space than I expected to translate a #Wikimedia #Commons media embed in #HTML and translate it to #orgmode markup for use in a #LaTeX document that boils into #PDF. #Citation with live #links included.

I don't think the person who will eventually read said document could possibly think that the embedded images are my own work, especially since the document says up front that they are not. But it is nice to have appropriate #captions to give #credit where credit is due.

Did Verizon open a fake account & send me to collections over it?

@ingo_wichmann @oec @JuxGD OFC #GeldKarte being a physical-/instore-only payment method alsp completely made it obsolete.

  • I do hope the folks behind #wero take this as a lession and avoid these issues.

Otherwise they'd be self-sabotaging from the get-go.

  • Personally I think the #EU really needs to speed up it's development and actually release a competent #CreditCard standard that like #UnionPay, #JCB & #MIR actually works and like #PaySafeCard supports both anonymous, non-reloadable code cards (cuz *"#AML") and directly linked #credit & #debit cards, with all types being useable in store, on ATMs and online.

I just doubt that this will happen given that #Zensursula heads @EUCommission
