Illinois has the most state pension debt in America — by a wide margin. How bad is it? IL Pension Debt: $145.49B The bottom 41 states combined: $145.77B IL population: ~12.7M Bottom 41 states: ~180M And Pritzker and his allies in Springfield are considering pension sweeteners that could add $76B+ more in costs for Illinois taxpayers. This is not sustainable. This is a crisis.

@SemiAnalysis_ @BrentM_SpaceX 😉 Still small fry at 1GW. For serious power in the 100GW continuous range (~1/5 of USA average power consumption), it probably needs to be solar/battery powered. At 1TW+, solar/battery is the only realistic option.

The California Senate on Wednesday voted unanimously on a bill to sell E15 in the state for the first time. The measure now heads to Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is expected to sign it into law. Environmental Editor @DTNeeley reports: dtn.link/w43jl5

🇺🇸No change in the status of new-crop export sales for U.S. #soybeans - the worst in 23 years, relative to expectations. USDA's target was just 1.9% covered as of May 23 versus a 10yr average of about 10%.

As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed it and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take and eat. This is My body.” Then He took the cup, and after He gave thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.” And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Matthew 26: 26-30 ✝️ #LastSupper #MaundyThursday

Current Debt Levels: 1. Household Debt: $17.1 trillion 2. Mortgage Debt: $12.0 trillion 3. Auto Loans: $1.6 trillion 4. Credit Card Debt: $1.0 trillion All of these balances are at a RECORD high. Current Interest Rates: 1. Credit Card Debt: 25% 2. New Car Loans: 14% 3. Used Car Loans: 9% 4. 30Y Mortgage: 7.5% The worst part? Student loan payments are set to resume in one month. Total student loan debt just hit $1.6 trillion. Will consumers be able to handle student loan payments on top of all of this? Debt problem is an understatement.
