Despite this clear warning, Wall Street is still delusionally optimistic about how the stock market will perform in 2023.

Pretend it's the end of 2019 — not a terrible time for the stock market and the US economy. Even if corporate profits sink back down to that healthy level, it's still a long way down from where the stock market sits right now. All the visuals you've seen of a screaming-red stock market and sweaty traders doing the sign of the cross — those are just the beginning.

Even for account managers like Emma, the money could be "life-changing," she said, adding that she sometimes earned more than $10,000 a month off just 2% commission. Many OnlyFans models (including Unruly clients) offer a free feed of photos. They can add a larger "tip" to be added to an influencer's VIP area to get unlimited chatting (often between $100 and $200 for Unruly models). For instance, it's free to subscribe to Rao's OnlyFans account, but she charges between $5 and $99 for fans to "unlock posts."

În timp ce cuvintele rechin şi Australia evocă de obicei imagini cu atacuri asupra înotătorilor şi surferilor, Billie Rea, în vârstă de 11 ani, nu a stat pe gânduri şi a intervenit pentru a salva un rechin rămas blocat între stânci după reflux, transmite agerpres.ro. "E în regulă, e în regulă", spune Rea în timp ce calcă pe pietrele acoperite cu alge ţinând în mâini rechinul cu pete maronii înainte de a-l elibera în apă. Rea nu s-a aflat nicio clipă în pericol deoarece rechinul australian este o specie care se deplasează lent, care se hrăneşte de pe solul marin în special cu mici crustacee. "Aţi văzut în înregistrarea video cât de calmă este şi cred că animalul acela s-a simţit în siguranţă cu ea", a adăugat ea. Abby a fost mai îngrijorată de faptul că Billie a trebuit să traverseze stâncile umede ca să ajungă în apele deschise decât de rechinul viu din mâinile fiicei ei.
